Regarding the stream:
First thing I noticed that your mic was clipping when were talking with a slightly raised voice. Which should be an easy fix with some change in settings. Also the audio in general had some issues. I think someone should be monitoring the stream in the beginning (in my opinion it is impossible for the streamer to do that on his own) and provide feedback. Also everyone appearing on stream during the evening should join in the beginning to dial in audio if possible. It would also be great for everyone to have a dedicated mic. Even the cheap ones for 50ā¬ + 20ā¬ arm improve audio by a lot over the avrg. 50ā¬ headset.
I like that there was some efford on trying to cover a full series. Also I think it is already clear before the tournament starts which matchups will be the most interesting to watch. Maybe make a plan and stick to it. Also that would give the possibilities that the players know in advance when to wait for the casters. There might be some planned downtime between those sceduled matchups where some replays can be selected to watch. It should only be the most "epic" replays of the tournament. It might be possible to base that selection on the feedback of the players themselfes. So if they felt like a certain game was cast worthy they could be in communication with the caster team. Only problem might be that everyone might want to get casted.
Also the map ban website @Rowey is working with has a neat streamoverlay feature. But it would require someone other than the streamer to handle it. Probably the tournament director could do it but that person should be in voice. One big downside of mapban in my opinion is that it doesn't support tournaments yet. So it cannot replace challonge.
Regarding other content on FAFLive: I think we should aim for a quality level that it could get advertised on the newspage. And it should properly be sceduled. Maybe even display the streaming scedule on that page if there is more regular content. Applying to get hosted for certain stuff on FAFlive might also be a possibility. It would enable to promote a lot more different stuff without the whole account/ giving out the pw problem. And also not sacrifice the "high" quality standards of an official stream. Unfortunately hosting doesn't merge the chats, which might be desireable in this case. And I don't know if followers get a notification if you are hosting smth.
