Official Starcraft2 Beta Livestream Procaster thread!

[Fenixgoon]

Livestream procaster lets you stream (for free) basically anything you want. A lot of people on teamliquid.net use it for starcraft/starcraft2.

If anyone wants to watch live games, livestream (and other site like it) are a great way to see what SC2 is like.

Here's my stream: http://www.livestream.com/fenixgoon

I'm probably gonna play SC2 till 2-3 eastern, so feel free to watch. I'll probably be on later tonight too.

And of course, any ATers wanting to play SC2 with me are welcome!

Cripes, I so badly want in on this beta. Guess this'll do for now though thanks fenixgoon.

This is pretty slick.. I'm stuck at work today. Thanks for the stream.

 

[KeithTalent]

Is this allowed via the terms of the beta? Seems wrong to me.

There are plenty of broadcasts already, including many that were put together by Blizzard.

This was in response to the question by KT.

 

[nsafreak]

They've been doing streams of this game for a long time, don't think any kind of NDA is in effect currently so should be fine.

There are also lots of people who post up commentaries of games on Youtube, including in HD, so the quality is nice, you can learn about strategies and have stuff explained, and get to see all the new TV-friendly replay tools.

Okey doke, not really following the game so just wanted to be sure.

Watched a bit...maybe it looks better and is more fun if you're actually playing.

[Fenixgoon]

for those of you who stopped in i hope you enjoyed! SC2 is a lot of fun. very intense.

i'll be playing later tonight if anyone wants to play or watch

 

[rcpratt]

I'll give this a shot next time I'm playing and my latency isn't terrible. That rarely happens, though.

 

[TridenT]

Why does this look exactly like Justin.tv? Justin.TV has plenty of game broadcasts of SC2, all the time. Strangeness...

 

[Fenixgoon]

im gonna play a few games if anyone wants to join in or watch

 

[rcpratt]

What race do you play?

 

[Fenixgoon]

What race do you play?

terran. i need to learn protoss though. never enjoyed zerg. ever

 

[rcpratt]

Gah, not widescreen? Or is the stream just messing it up.

 

[rcpratt]

lol at that guy setting up his tank right there, obviously you're just going to land on it and destroy it...

and still massing marauders with almost no marines after he knows you have vikings...

that was a good game. i should have switched over to banshees, which would have dominated his tanks/rines.

at least i countered the BC's nicely though, with thor/viking. too bad its just no good against lots of tanks

i ran outta steam in the end

 

[rcpratt]

You lose? The feed cut out right after his cruisers came in. Looked like you had those beat easy.

I'm more of a banshee harass + MMM guy, myself. Don't think I've ever had a game last that long, win or lose.

yeah i lost. after i took down his BCs, he came in with a bunch of tanks, which i really couldnt do much against with my thor/viking army.

if i had had banshees, then it would have been GG for him. but alas...

You could try a base trade. If I see an overwhelming force I just book it and attack his base. Just a thought. And also I have only used bc's once to crack an island turtle. I have never fought them. What rank are you fenix? I got dropped to silver from gold.

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Best streams I've seen are Day[9]'s (google for his big post of links on teamliquid forums). HD and/or Husky starcrafts are good too (youtube).

Since people are mentioning BCs, I've never seen them win a game that wasn't already won before that, and I've seen plenty of games where someone was even with his opponent or ahead and lost because he built BCs (gold/platnium level). They seem a little too weak right now.

I'm rank 11 in silver league ATM, IIRC.
