Justin.tv is implementing a tape-delay feature so that there's about 5 minutes lag time between what happens and what the spectator sees, but in any tournament that matters, no player with the potential to win anything, would risk cheating. | ||

Appreciate the replies everyone. | ||

If, lets say, someone like Huk streams a game and ihs opponent watches it, there are two options: 1. Huk wins anyways because the other players doesnt want to look too suspicious and gets outplayed eventually 2. He reacts to everything just perfectly and will be banned from any tournament on TL in the future because thousands of people saw it and report it eventually | ||

Really all tournaments should do what the TL tournaments have been doing for ages and cast from replays (TL does this in ro16 and onwards I believe). | ||

The bolded portion of your statement is so absurdly not true it's mind boggling. Years of history of cheating, abuse, and maphacking from top players in the international scene disagrees with you. I say this with all due respect since you're a relatively well known caster, but you're extremely wrong. Assuming what you in your post here will lead to an atmosphere of cheating. Until there is a delay implemented, no event with money should have a live stream. That's our stance on it. If some events want to ignore this, that's obviously their choice. But I would not be surprised at all, in fact I believe it more likely than not, that these events have already had cheating occur. There's no way to prove it but in the past, when players can cheat without being caught, some will cheat. | ||

I mean, yea maphacking, arranged matches bla bla bla. But actually watching your opponents stream? afaik most streams have a pretty big delay, i dont think watching it would help as much as people seem to think. | ||

Also if you're like me, you'll probably lag if playing with a stream in the background. (Day[9]) RAWR) | ||

The problem is that it is impossible to prove. That's what makes it even more attractive to cheaters. You cannot prove someone is listening to the stream. No, most streams do not have a pretty big delay. Many are just streamed live. Where do you get that information? On February 08 2011 01:41 mizU wrote: There's generally a 5 second or so delay in most streams, but it's usually fairly easy to determine if someone is listening to a stream while playing... So most players don't do it. 5 seconds is definitely not enough. I'd say 3-5 minutes minimum. Even then, something said by casters as simple as "he's making a twilight council" or "he's taking a secret expansion" can give an advantage even minutes later. Also, "easy to determine" is not a deterrent, and just not true. You can have a friend listen to the stream and just tell you relevant information like build orders. None of this is easily proved. | ||
