Streaming your tournament games is different because the stream viewers can't see anything more than the player and as you pointed out their advice is pretty much useless. Spectators on the other hand can see the entire map without the fog of war which means they could tell the players where the best spot to fish is, what build order the other guy is doing, etc.I still think this is bullshit that someone who is passivly receiving "help" in terms of singular messages is bound to any sort of punishment. If this is how we are looking at it, all cases where players actually stream their tournament games which occurs not so rarely should be reviewed as clearly stream chat allowance is basicly the same violation, even if any advice given there is by 14xx players without a single useful idea.
Are you like serious? So now we are sorting help on the less useful and more useful. So stupid. I like examples so let me put on forward. 1700 plays vs 1800. The 1700 has viper on stream giving him advice concerning what strategy he should go, whether he has idle eco, telling him all the things he misses to spot like holes in walls, idle army somewhere. So by your definition that is all good and fine, yes? But saying by a random person who specs that your enemy has no more castles left in FI war when any brainlaging ***** can deduce it after treb war, that is not fine? You people seriously lack logic.
