The Frenchman knows better

tyr · #1 10-01-2010, 01:18 AM

(after "orb knows better", orb being a pretty arrogant sc2 player, seemed like it would fit nicely)

So I was thinking today ..
This game needs more videos/streams/commentaries so I thought maybe I would do something like streaming like one hour of ladder games each week, and commentating about what people do right or wrong and giving advices (on stream) and other commentaries relevant to competitive altitude. Maybe take questions from the chat and whatnot. A lot of people seemed interested in that tutoring program (in which I actually more or less had a student to whom I had teached a bit) so maybe this would help some people improve.
Maybe even some of the most experienced players if I start talking about advanced team tactics and stuff.

Anyway, tell me if you're interested and I might do it some time.

Episode 1 : VOD here (skip the first 10 minutes as it's just me testing the stream)
Episode 2 : VOD here
Episode 3 : VOD here
Episode 4 : VOD here
Episode 5 : VOD here

Interested. Awesome idea tyr. Also, it would bring you back to us in some way, so definite +1

Evan20000 · #3 10-01-2010, 02:04 AM

Do it. 7890

ryebone · #4 10-01-2010, 02:06 AM

Saying anything negative about ryebone is strictly prohibited, and is just cause for a permaban from ladder.

im admin for longer than you are
but i like you though so its unlikely that I say a lot of negative stuff about you
and i'm also in [ryebone] so its even less likely

blade · #6 10-01-2010, 03:57 AM

best idea anyones had in a long time. Looking forward to it

Kuja900 · #7 10-01-2010, 04:01 AM

shrode · #8 10-01-2010, 04:14 AM

Is that even possible ?

tgleaf · #10 10-01-2010, 06:45 AM

The accent, yes. Bring it.

wolf'j'max · #11 10-01-2010, 06:52 AM

Just if its not livestream, do it :3

tyr · #12 10-01-2010, 11:24 AM

of course it's livestream, what else ?
ustream and justintv are both terrible

Ok so what about if I do the premiere tonight (friday) at 5pm EST/11pm CET
There usually is a continuous flow of ladder game at that hour.

I still crash a little less and kill a little more because of that, thank you very much.

I would definitely would like to see something like that. I already love watching matches on youtube (I keep pressing tab to see the team formations though), specially the ones with comments.

j2k · #14 10-01-2010, 01:52 PM

Would be pretty great!

+1 to pressing tab while watching a game on youtube

tyr · #15 10-01-2010, 09:50 PM

k so I'll start a bit early today so that as many people as possible could catch this and know that it exists.
Going live now but will really start talking about stuff in 10 minutes

http://www.livestream.com/tyriounet
(or http://www.teamliquid.net/video/userstream.php?user=tyr if you want the TL interface instead)

edit :

over for today !
Thanks to the guys who watched, I'll link the vods when it's available on the OP.

j2k · #16 10-01-2010, 11:46 PM

Couldn't watch at the time, looking forward to vods!

Kuja900 · #17 10-02-2010, 12:24 AM

Tyr you stutter like a whore

edit: 21 mins in and you not talked about the matches at all yet lol, this is tyrs soap box.

Evan20000 · #18 10-02-2010, 12:34 AM

Your voice is too hypnotizing to listen to while I play. I started playing much better on Mayhem once I turned off the live stream. O_o

Good job all the same though. Haters gonna hate.

tyr · #19 10-02-2010, 12:37 AM

I didnt say I would commentate the matches a lot. Indeed it was intended for me to give interesting stuff that could help people improve based on the situations seen in the games.
But you may be right, it may be a bit too much, I'll try to actually cast the matches a bit more next time, and do less random comments about setups and whatever. I'm still trying to find a good mix between casting and actually saying useful stuff. I mean if it's only casting its useless since those are ladder matches that everyone will forget before the night is over.
Keep the feedback coming.

first ep's vod in the OP

drunkguava · #20 10-02-2010, 12:39 AM

usually with sports broadcasts they have a play-by-play announcer and a color-commentary announcer. Maybe you need a play-by-play co-announcer.

[Y] · #21 10-02-2010, 12:40 AM

Get eth to commentate with you.

Double the accents, double the quality.

tyr · #22 10-02-2010, 12:42 AM

Hmm .. the goal wasnt to just cast the games, but if that's what you want instead, I can do it too ..

Kuja900 · #23 10-02-2010, 12:53 AM

Bias casting is more fun tyr, I just get mad disagreeing with your "strategy" for 60 minutes with this format.

tyr · #24 10-02-2010, 12:56 AM

Thats not surprising. We always disagree on everything when it comes to altitude. I dunno if we ever agreed on anything in those soon-to-be-2-years since we're playing.

Kuja900 · #25 10-02-2010, 01:01 AM

Lol most of us were interested in this cast for the snoody things you'd say about those playing ^^.

edit: I think we need to make a tyr and kuja co-cast a reality.

Hmm .. Ok i'll keep that in mind

And ... no. We'd spend the whole time arguing with each other and I don't wanna talk with your sister for 1 hour.

...
Actually, I take that back, that could be pretty fun and I'd spend the whole hour imagining what exactly you're doing to make your sister say the right stuff and make it realistic.
Yeah, let's do it.

NEXT WEEK : TYR AND KUJA CO-CAST.

GGQ · #27 10-02-2010, 01:14 AM

The altitude consequences will never be the same!

Evan20000 · #28 10-02-2010, 01:46 AM

Oh shi--- Inb4 epic.

hurripilot · #29 10-02-2010, 01:58 AM

Inb4 this doesn't really happen, or tyr's situation with the sister/girlfriend plays out.

[Y] · #30 10-02-2010, 02:14 AM

More like inb4 Kuja can't make the livecast because of IRL.

ex~ · #31 10-02-2010, 02:17 AM

good **** tyr, i missed your casts ever since the flbss casts. glad to see you done a couple, and throw in some color commentary, stir up the emotions

tyr · #32 10-05-2010, 01:02 AM

so Kuja
is this friday good for you ?
What hour ?

dont worry about that, the plan is underway, leave it to me

tyr · #35 10-06-2010, 06:51 PM

kuja is dodging

calling it now

Evan20000 · #36 10-06-2010, 10:32 PM

I doubt that it will happen, but one can dream, eh?

tyr · #37 10-08-2010, 01:39 AM

In any case, tomorrow ep2. With or without kuja (most likely without, he's dodging, as predicted).
I'll just cast and mock people for 1 hour, since apparently thats what most people actually wanna see/hear. I'll try to limit the strategic talk to a minimum.

Same time as last week I guess (5pm EST - 11pm CET).
If it would bring more viewers if I changed the time a little bit I can do that too.
Feedback always appreciated of course.

Ajuk999 · #38 10-08-2010, 01:58 AM

I haven't had the time to watch/pay attention to this tyr, but I'll watch it tomorrow I promise!

Good work by the way

I hope Kujas sister shows up, what a funny situation that would be - kuja whispering in his sister/gf's ear the whole time telling her what to say!

>.>

3 PM ET 9 CET thanks =D

tyr · #40 10-08-2010, 06:56 PM

That is too early. I dont even know if there's a continuous flow of ladder games at that time.
