Blizzcon 2017 Stream

[Tassadaru]

Greetings everyone!

As I tried to do every year, I will be hosting a Blizzcon livestream on my blog on both days of the event. Those who know me, they know I try to stay true to my word.

Last year's Discord server is still up, you're welcome to join it and chat there, the link is discord.gg/vxrDn67
I kinda need some mods, Contributor and upwards are considered, Donators excluded. Please drop me a PM if you're willing to be a mod on Discord for the two nights that we'll be watching the stream. Last year's stream was kinda hectic.

My PC specs got updated, I got a Ryzen CPU (up from an FX8350), 32GB of DDR4 (up from 16G/DDR3) an 1080GTX GPU (up from 770GTX), so stream should be much more stable and fluid (hopefully no more stuttering and lagging for some users).
I am still playing around with stream best settings so everyone can have a decent experience.

Feel free to subscribe to this thread or join Discord for new info about the stream.
I will try to post updates on both plaforms.

All the best,

- Tassadaru

Dont they stream it on their website / youtube tho ?

[Tassadaru]

They only stream the opening and then the multiplayer matches, the panels and stuff are ticket exclusive only.

What platform do you normally stream it on?

[Threadripper]

I have a amazon server with 10gbit up that I can stream on but need a virtual ticket

I am still deciding on the streaming platform that I shall use, so that's to be decided until tomorrow when Blizzcon starts.

I highly recommend AceStream. Its P2P. A ton of the top sport streams have turned to it as well.

I may have a gigabit connection but I cannot service the amounts of people that will tune in (p2p means I would be the server)

actually the exact opposite. kind of implied in the name, p2p means more than a single broadcaster/server.

Acestream is simply a video-focused bittorrent client, and like all torrents - the more users the faster and better it actually works. same idea as popcorntime, various Kodi channels etc that stream directly from torrents. So you can serve 1080p video to 10,000 clients simultaneously yet only upload same amount of data as to 10 clients. the cost is that the "live" stream is a couple minutes delayed for viewers.

Definitely not something you want to set up at the last minute though, maybe next year

thanks for the stream!
