Just like commentators used to be unpaid volunteered the time have changed.
See the thing is I'm not asking for top quality I'm just asking for good quality like I have seen in the other streams. If good quality is possible for other gaming community why should we condone mediocrity. If you can't do it right don't do it because nobody is forcing you at least that's my philosophy about this.
Times have not changed. Volunteers and bracket runners still do not get paid. Those who run the stream matches do not get paid. Commentators are a completely different thing, but even most of them are not actually paid.
All of your complaints are actually the same complaints most other communities have. A ton of smash upsets were off stream, Tekken pools were mostly scrubs v. scrubs, and SFV was a bunch of blowouts. It is the nature of a tournament like EVO.
So what your last quote is saying is that you'd rather have no stream at all then have some bad matches? That's a very interesting argument to make.
I could have watched something else with that time and If no one is watching do you think Warner Bros would invest in it ? Lowering the bar is never the answer may it be Youtube or Twitch streams. You can't expect godlike work but expecting decent work shouldn't make you an abnormality.At the end of the day the time you invest watching the stream turn into money and your viewership should be respected.
Like I said I am not asking for some TV level of bracket/event planning. All I am asking for is something decent when that many top players are in the same tournament but some of them don't have 1 game streamed while we watch Japanese developer X vs player Y you have to ask yourself why?
Most viewers could care less about the level of play, they just watch it for fun or to check it out. All of TYM could stop watching and they would still get plenty of viewers.
You could watch something else but that is YOUR choice. If you felt like it was a waste of time you could've just watched something else. It is 100% free and you are sounding like whiny little brat with this "paying with my time" bullshit.
Pools matches are almost always blowouts when top players are involved. That match was actually one of the more interesting matches. Tons of people were hype on seeing the arc sys dev playing their game, and it was kinda funny watching them get bodied by Ducky as well. Nothing can help the amount of blowouts you see in pools. It happens in every game.
