Last night I got the chance to stream the SLU Final between TyRanT Bromance & Warlords together with Memb, Katsuni & Ashby. Later on, whack and Viper joined us on teamspeak and commented on their previous games. So, as an AoC enthusiast I considered this a privilege rather than a burden I'd want be compensated for. Just my personal opinion, of course.
Sorry to Katsuni and Memb, I appreciate your work and your time spended in AoC, but tbh If there are 2k3+ players match commented like this, I'm forced to close the stream and watch the games later on my own.
To sum it up, I would like to see current casters improve or to bring more top players to cast the top level games and I hope that competition of this sort might help it.
I +1-ed the post that introduced the "caster award topic", but not for the reasons you give. For me, it's not about giving an incentive to improve, but just a way to say thank you to the streamers. A part of the 10k community prize pool would only be symbolic for the hundreds of hours streamed anyways (writing this with the eyes of the overpaid Switzerland population). And of course it would be cool to hype the streaming thing a little bit with some awards, but it's not a competition for me - I love all the streamers in the way they are and do their thing together or alone.
No matter what I/we do , we won't make happy 100% people. This is who/how I am , if you don't like me , fine , I can't force you to like me but I will not change cause you don't like me , you can always mute the stream if you don't or if that is still too much for you then you can watch the recs in your PC. Sometimes we know about games to stream right then , 10 min before it happens , if it's my dinner time you suggest I skip it , I did that too a lot of times , sometimes I didn't. I'm not a pro and probably will never be , I also love a pro player to stream/cast/co cast , I can't remember how many times I was looking for some expert(s) to come and co cast and there was none available , you prefer in that case no stream at all ? If you do , I think other 100+ will disagree with you and they would want some stream instead of no stream. I am not expecting people to cheer for me/us cause we all do this for the love of the game , not for money and I also don't expect from people to tell me thank you specifically , like I said I do this for fun and love of the game. If you just can't stand us I am really sorry , but I will not change cause 2-3-10 people tell me to as long as 300+ enjoys it. We all wish to be TheViper in play and knowledge of the game but we're not , hell I'm not even 0,1% of him but I am doing my best in the streams to provide the info's I know and when I make jokes , they are not prepared or read from a script , it's all live , like it or move on.
Complaining about Katsuni for a service he does for free...
C'Mon!
I am pretty sure that when Katsuni streams there are the biggest number of viewers. Also im pretty sure most of us didnt watch many recs while he wasnt posting.
Complaining about him and membrillo is lame, even more for somebody who doesnt do a **** to aoc community
Am I the only one here who dont like Katsuni for his "jokes" and speaking accent :?: :|
