Curleh Mustache Tournament Series Volume 3 - UMvC3 Invitational

Back to near-60fps on HD. Fantastic.

Golden Cen needs to pawn in that Evo stick for some better internets.
 
FiOS isnt available in the next level area. They have the best internet available in the area and this is the first time it's gone down since the switch over.
 
so what happened at Final Round? Spooky said the venue had more than enough for a good stream but had to cut the quality because the connection to twitch wasn't good.

My opinion is that all these ascii and emoticon spamming with hundreds if not thousands of people on streams is killing the quality. Did my own research on the matter and it could be true. A bunch of small streams rarely if not completely have any problems because of the obvious. And to test my theory, I watched certain streams live and noticed some hiccups. But in the archive itself, everything went smooth. The massive amount of people constantly posting in chat can do a number to your streaming. And with Own3d, if you do not have an adequate setup, both a competent PC ( 2500K at 4.4ghz, 16GB ram, etc) and Internet quality (50 up 30 down), it's going to appear better because of the chat being separate. For someone like me, quality is the same between Twitch and Own3d. My preference boils down to other things.
 
I already seen this debate happen in the SC2 community in early 2012 when roughly half the players were streaming from owned and the other half from justin/twitch. As of now, twitch has become the defacto standard with pretty much all pros using it because it proved to be most reliable in the most regions on the most setups. And the 1080p quality on some streams (obviously depending on the person streaming) is beating out pretty much anything else I've seen in webstreaming.

That's all fine and dandy, however it's utterly irrelevant. First of all it doesn't show how the issues Sp00ky had were down to the NL net and not Twtich, suggesting the issue was the fault of the venue's net and not Twitch's utterly totally undermines Spooky's experience and expertise. Second, Sp00ky's streams have clearly been smoother on HD since he made the switch, this is the first issue he's had since he went to Own3d and it's all down to the net at the venue.

I get that Twitch probably works for most, but clearly Own3d has been doing better for Spooky. I don't get why people are shitting on owned and so defensive of Twitch as though they've got some kind of loyalty to one of the services.

Yep. Usually on streams of majors I usually forgo twitch chat.

Chris G, why do you keep disappointing me more and more often as of recent...

Also, Fooblat looks like a fucking zombie ALL the time.

Own3d have problems paying out, they're constantly late while twitch pay out on time and they're very happy to make that public.
