i think it's VERY important that stream footage winds up on youtube. when you look at bigger streams, they may get 4000+ viewers per stream, but their youtube videos are where most of the attention towards the players come from. spooky gets a couple thousand viewers per stream but his overall youtube views is at 4,012,194 at the moment. Jaxel, the main stream person for Jersey/NY events, gets less than 1000 viewers per week for their weekly tournaments, yet their total youtube viewcount is at 3,859,231. the majority of the attention from these broadcasted get-togethers will come from youtube viewings, and if we hope to get on the map as a community, i'd go as far as to say that it's imperative this stuff winds up on a channel.
That's why I'm starting to slay people over commentary during matches. It's not so much what happens live on stream, but rather what's
recorded and documented on youtube. Yeah, you want to pay your respects to the people who are watching the stream (and trust me, doing so goes ALOT longer than some people may think. I myself am HORRIBLE at dealing with streams), but that's a one time deal. As most twice if you're lucky/crazy enough to do the whole re-stream thing that's only gone down once.
People're going to watch the videos again and again, and you can do
so much from making the part that they will watch again (the matches) solid. Again, it's not like you have to sit there and try to be deep, analytical, and technical about it. Hell, you can literally sit there and just be a troll, cut jokes, whatever. It just needs to happen towards the match.

That level up stream was still good stuff, though!! I'm not saying the above because of it. I thought everything was perfectly fine. I honestly kinda chuckled when everybody kinda "tightened up" when I came in there. I'm not trying to come off as a hard ass 'bout this or anything. Just trying to do my part to help out.
... cause I mean.. the hell if I really know what's going on in MK... yet.
