Recently I've noticed that many notable Korean Code A-S players have been able to get their stream featured relatively quickly due to their notoriety. I'm wondering what the process is because I'm posting here on behalf of Slayer's Min, who is looking to get his stream featured on TL. Min recently had to move out of the slayer's house so is looking increasingly towards streaming as a way to support himself and his Starcraft Career so being featured would probably go along way towards viewer count as he's definitely a recognizable Korean player.

TL account : http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/profile.php?user=slayers_min
Justintv account: http://www.justin.tv/slayersmin

If he could be featured that would be spectacular, I understand if thats unachievable or if there is a waiting period / streaming period before that can happen.

On behalf of Slayers_min,
Thanks

I feel the same way....

Imho the single most important criteria besides online time should be "entertainment value". Ofc this differs from person to person, but to nerf it down to only pro/semi pro players is just wrong. You need some diversity. High masters and GM's who intereact with their viewers (like snute, protech, megumi and many others) are now not featured and will therfore loose alot of viewers. As a result of fewer viewers they will earn less and play less.

There are many streams with pro's laddering with music and thousands of VOD's of the same players laying around. SC2 is more than competitive 1v1 gaming.

Why is inKa refeatured? I understand the reasons are confidential, but you have someone with significantly less achievements [in comparison] (was previously with EG, then went to Lz and then QxG where he achieved the same as he did back with EG), same number of viewers (220 I believe is the number he achieves, by all means correct me) and about the same level of notoriety but he gets (re)featured?

Is it because he asked his Twitter followers to spam the boards begging him to be refeatured (good for them, really loyal!)? I don't understand now and I'm really confused. We have three Montreal Protoss players: one who doesn't really talk to us (kiwikaki), TT1 who's now teamless and equally as uncommunicative and the underdog who practices and beats both consistently: Attero. One's teamless, one's going to WCG Korea and one is retiring considering he can no longer make a living off his passion (which he was doing marginally before).

I'm not angry, just heavily disappointed and discouraged. He offered all the key points except he didn't draw in the traffic TL is looking for (which is coincidentally the same numbers some other featured people have been drawing in all day today [not necessarily a fair comparison, but it's to set a point]).

Ugh. No, he's not on a majorly famed team (unless you consider CS: S a very important game, in which case, he's on the arguably best CS: S team around). He draws at least above 150 and he offers everything that grows a community: coaching, interaction, uploads replays of all his games against professionals he consistently beats (and not one time or another, he's beaten idra more than 3 times, we're talking without fail or problem, he's beaten him on all sorts of maps via ladder).

I know I sound like a broken record and the idea of "if we do it for him, we'll have to do it with everyone else" is probably a high likelihood, but I urge you to reconsider or at least, as someone suggested, give a probationary 2 weeks.


quick to forget me heh ?

It sounds like you have a personal issue with the way Protech conducts himself. If you dont like what he says and how he plays, then YOU should not watch his stream. Trying to use those things as arguments for him remaining un-featured is farcical at best. TL supports a lot of streamers with less than conventional behaviour (of which Destiny is a glaring example), and that's not at all to say Protech's behaviour is even particularly, as you say, caustic. If you think that one of the best 2v2 players calling out known cheaters while providing his viewers commentary on LEGITIMATE, SELF DEVELOPED, 2v2 strategies and gameplay is a bad representation of the 2v2 community, then you are a bad representation of the SC2 community.

Obviously I have a personal issue with the way Protech conducts himself. I don't feel TL should be representing that as a stream they are promoting (which is essentially what a "featured stream" is). I have no real intention of watching Protech, and I can turn around the comment on you: if you do want to watch his stream, you can easily do that when he's not featured. How many other streamers with "less than conventional" behavior than Destiny does TL feature? Destiny is wildly popular (perhaps #2 in popularity after Idra for stream viewership? I'm not 100% going to say that, but I think that's about right), and that's why he's streamed. [Also, you may have missed the post where Destiny announced it, but he's on the whole much more reserved on stream than he used to be]

Protech calls people like Optikzero and Select cheaters. Are you actually saying they are known cheaters? I've never heard of them that way.
If you read the topic about it, there are a lot of high level 2v2ers who feel similarly that Protech is a poor representation of the 2v2 community.



I would like you to search my vods, and show me where I called karl and select stream cheaters. I don't believe i EVER said that and i'm pretty sure I would NEVER say something like that.

I know karl from the BW days, and he is my on my friends list. We play 2v2s all the time. So why would I say something stupid like that? And if I did say something like ( which im pretty sure i didn't ) I take it back, and it was probably just completely and utterly out of rage of losing 3-15 against them.



1. You have called people on your friends list cheaters plenty of times (I think I am a prime example of this)

2. I like how you just blame the things you said on rage as if THAT of all things makes it acceptable. You're a grown ass man (23-24?) serving in the Armed Forces, ACT LIKE IT. If you want respect you should earn it. There are literally dozens of people all saying the same negative things about you, but for some reason they don't say those things about kara, delphi, or snute, who are other well known 2v2 players (And GM 1v1 players) that stream on TL. Have you ever stopped and thought to yourself... "Hmmm, I wonder why so many people say the exact same things about me? Maybe it's because the things they are all saying are true!?" Based on your actions, the odds are you haven't.

Personally, I do think you should have a featured stream. You stream 10-12 hours a day and clearly have a followership that rival the loyalty of Destiny's "sheep" fans. On top of that you do fill a niche since there aren't many people who stream 2v2.

With that being said, it's also clear that based on your actions you really don't deserve a stream. You do abuse it with your 500 /commercials per minute, HORRIBLY childish attitude, and incredibly hypocritical actions. I think you put the TL staff at odds with one another on what they are to do with you. Maybe a stint on the de-featured list will humble and mature you to an extent that you can be a positive role model for esports rather than a whiney baby who bans anyone and everyone that disagree's with him regardless of the maturity and intellect behind the opposing persons posts.

I can understand why iSTime isn't featured, but he has a really good stream. Is there any way in a future update TL could add a feature that lets you add streams to your own featured list?

Please re-feature Fuzer again. He's been streaming quite a lot recently and the guy is hilarious to watch. One of the few players who are actually talking while playing and an outstanding example that playing SC2 is supposed to fun, even on a pro level.

+ Kudos for being able to Play SC2 and try to order Pizza at 5am at the same time.

edit: Wasn't the german Caster HomerJ a featured streamer as well? Not that I particularly love him but he has a really high viewer count.

I was really surprised to see Ranged/Response come off the featured list, but I guess lack of viewers or something.

Cryo1 has a great suggestion there:

I would love this

Whoa, where do these ProTech haters come from? When did it become acceptable to flame without any proof, use ad hominems, patronise, caps lock, exaggerate, call names, etc. I feel I'm a dumber person just for reading this filth.

Well, I really don't understand the removal of Protech. I enjoy 2v2 more than 1v1 and I think it's bad for diversity to only feature 1v1 streams. The guy is winning 2v2 tournaments (as few as they are compared to 1v1 tournaments) and should get a spot. Replace it with a better 2v2 er if you think he is not up to the top, but do not kill 2v2 scene just like that.

Hashe unfeatured? WHAT? Seriously? Reasoning?
I don't like the policy of removing people who have "below" 300 viewers (Hashe always has 500+). This way no one will ever be able to make his way up. I don't remember checking any unfeatured streamer, ever. You should take more things into consideration besides viewer count such as league, stream quality, effort which was put into making the stream etc. I consider Hashe to be one of the best Terrans yet he is unfeatured while people who are much worse than him but I will not name here are still featured.
Also, you should state a reason of removing for everyone to make things clear. It is pretty shady the way it is right now.

Every streamer with some fame have people disliking him for whatever reason. I you feel like Protech should not be featured because of blaming others of stream sniping (which in many cases seems like it is correct) or in general have the occancional rage BM you probably have to remove some of the featured ones as well. Protech has banned people from his chat due to rage, but has been quick to unban after admitting it was over the line.

E.g. Huk banned a guy for saying Huk stream was a facebook stream and Idra has his own gif's with rage quotes etc. Is this considered BM?

And calling his fans for "sheep" fans just shows how much you dislike this guy, and this is more of a personal hate for Protech, whishing him nothing, rather than being talking objectivly about the reasons why he should be featured or not. He probably got som die-hard fans, but I honestly think that the majorety of his 2300 followers are normal SC2 players just enjoying watching a good 2v2 player stream for hour after hour.

Also playing the nieche card as a reason for not to be featured is just plain wrong. Imho the featured list should give viewers a minimum of diversity of popular streams to choose from, 1v1's with commentating, 1v1 Pro's, Tourneys and 2v2's. I wish there were more 2v2 streams out there, but the few that exists are hardly online.

I think Titan107, GoSu.ViBE, and Attero are 3 defeatured streamers that really deserve to be. Like 100's of posters before me, all of these players hold consistent numbers, but will no longer be able to. There is an extreme logical fallacy in what TL has done; they admit that featuring a stream has a profound effect on stream numbers, remove top level players on the edge of their minimum require, and then say they will be added back if their numbers improve. How exactly will their numbers improve? I seem to have missed that part.

EDIT: And ThisIsJimmy? All of these players have been around for a long time, traveling to events, and streaming with a decent level of frequency. This sucks.

refeature ViBE please. Not only does he have high skill (constantly high Grandmasters), but he also does commentate (which helps immense understand the reasons behind his actions). Adding to this he never is below 200 viewers and I even remember him pulling over 700. Every zergplayer watching his stream can learn a lot. (especially his late game with lots of nydus play is amazing to watch) Besides all that - it is just pure fun to watch him owning other GM players with 300+ APM. respect skill and not only viewercount (which is often based up on trashtalk or other non game related stuff) and therefore give ViBE back his featured stream status.

Thx for making this tread. It's such a good ide. My vote for the one you need to Refeature is megumixbear She always have proplayers on her show and sometimes Day(9) stops by to say hi and talk about stuff. Meguixbear have weekly turnaments too where Proplayers attend every time. In the last one some korean proplayers joined and won too.

Hope she gets featured.

I think Vibe should be refeatured. True, his recent results haven't been too much to speak of and his stream numbers are kind of low, but he's still a very talented player, and offers a ton of really good content in his stream through his commentary. Plus, Gosu seems to be one of the NA teams that's been on the rise as of late, so it'd be nice to be able to easily keep tabs on what will surely be one of their best players.

Well, he is on a team that, while new to SC2, did just partner up with a team that has arguably two best SC2 players in the world at the moment in Nestea and MVP. That definitely counts for something.

Also, if a ton of viewers/fans reply after a streamer asks them to voice their support, wouldn't that be an indication that enough people feel strongly enough that he SHOULD be featured? Wouldn't it only be a problem if there was a really big response from a player's fanbase and they DIDN'T get re-featured?

well, all i can say is that tl.net disagrees with you, and justifiably so.


read the edit in my last post and please, try to justify the idea that contribution should be enough in and of itself to get featured. Moreover, neither of us have all the information or know precisely why he is featured. Perhaps tonight was an anomaly and he does pull in a huge audience. I'd really like to know the numbers so I can stop speculating.
Anyway, let me put it this way, if Hayward averaged 17 viewers would you still think he deserves to be featured. What's the real difference between 17 average viewers, and 200?


Well, the difference between 17 viewers and 200 is 183 afaik. And, at least the first day he streamed, Hayward had 2k+. I never watched, so IDK if that was also an anomaly or not though. He doesn't stream often, so there isn't really a large sample to go on.

And if you read the news post (not the OP of this thread), it says that a particular stream does not need every single one of the factors listed. That's pretty moot though, because he's listed under the "Other" category, whose requirements are simply "Notability" and/or "Content". I think an NBA player streaming SC2 is pretty notable, don't you? If he was listed as a "Player", I can understand your argument because I would agree he doesn't qualify for that category. But he's not, he's listed as "Other", so it's fine because he fits perfectly into that category.

I guess you can argue that the system itself is flawed, but under the current system, I don't really see how you can argue against Hayward's inclusion.

While I agree on the premise that there were too many featured streams a few days ago I fear that by making the threshold to become a "featured streamer" higher we are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. The easiest way for these streamers to gain notoriety is to be a featured streamer, which inherently attracts more viewers because their names are plastered across the sidebar of TL. I totally understand why this was done, but I would like to offer a bit of a compromise. You could create a group of 4 streams or something, and put them under a new section besides featured and nonfeatured, for a test run. With this section, give each player a week and transition through the nonfeatured players. That way if no one featured players are streaming, some TL viewers will migrate to these streams. This could perhaps help our lesser known (but still amazing) players to gain reputation in the scene and some new fans.
