Streaming Information, Continued Recruitment

By Kangaroo·
Hello XJ!

Streaming

As some of you may already be aware, our livestreaming and eSports efforts have been set into motion. Streaming sessions have continually been broadcasted over the month of Feburary, and we'd like to extend thanks to CamelCloud for his continued efforts in providing content for our livestream, as well as the featured players - and, of course, thanks to everyone who tuned in.

As always, XJ's Kreedz stream can be reached by clicking on the "LIVE STREAM" button in the header directly above the news section. From this page you can watch the stream directly, as well as find information about previous broadcasts - such as the map, the player, the broadcaster, and whether or not a record was broken during the streaming session. You may also view previous broadcasts by visiting the channel directly on twitch iconTwitch.TV.

Whenever the stream is live, it will be featured in the right column, below the "Tournament Info" section. Also, the "LIVE STREAM" button will be highlighted, and an annoucement will be made within XJ's official twitch iconsteam group.

Team Recruitment

We'd like to extend a thanks to all who applied in light of our twitch iconprevious post. However, we are still looking for others that can help us.

We are especially in need of people willing to livestream content, as a tournament is coming up and the livestreaming of said event would be dictated by whether or not more "streamers" apply.

Please consider helping us if you:

  • [*] would like to stream live content on XJ's Twitch.TV channel (requires sufficient bandwidth and PC)
    [*] would like to write about eSports (thoughts, news, reporting...)
    [*] would like to be a part of a video podcast about current happenings in the Kreedz world, whether it's being the host (voice) of the podcast or if you would rather take part in the video editing.

If any of the above jobs interest you, or if you believe you could help in any other way, please contact twitch iconjusuuh.

The Future

Currently, our project is still in it's first few steps. There is a lot to be envisioned and planned, all of which will take some time accomplish. The most important aspect in our plans, however, is the community's feedback and response. We do this not only for the love of Kreedz, but also to expand the community and bring something fresh to the scene.

In the future, we'd like to have organized tournament and event coverage, as well as persistent livestreaming of players to provide a healthy amount of streaming content for XJ. But, what else can we do? The community response is very important to us, and we'd like to hear your thoughts, ideas, and comments on this subject.

That's about it for now. Don't forget to apply for our team and stay tuned!

/ Kangaroo and jusuuh

Good news.

live streaming wrs has so lil potential .. i mean watchin a guy that fails like 1/50 of the times is not fun imo .. you should start making some tournaments and stream them .. otherwise everything its pointless imo

09/03/2012 00:54:00

unBreakS: You'll see some news about that in the next coming days ;)

09/03/2012 00:54:00

unBreakS did you read the post? This is mostly about continued recruitment for the upcoming tournament coverage, and I also see the greatest potential in our events. But we've had fun in WR record attemp livestreams so I think we'll continue with those aswell :-)

09/03/2012 07:30:00

gl with that!

09/03/2012 07:42:00

gL & Hf guys

09/03/2012 10:08:00

imo its a great idea and for me it would be fun to watch people trying to break the wr.... and maybe laughing when they fail at easy parts :)

09/03/2012 10:10:00

It's a serious step to success and I hope to see more people get involved this time.

09/03/2012 11:33:00

I partly agree with unBreakS. Mostly with "WR streaming" part. Don´t know about others but personally I really can´t find any form of entertainment in watching so frequent fails. WR runs demand pure perfection - and that´s achieved maybe 1/50 of times (depends on player ofc). On the other side, tournament stream is much more interesting. How many viewers did you get in finals? I think it was pretty nice number. So focus on that side and I am sure "that whole thing" will slowly grow. GL with it and big :up: for effort. And guys, if everyone has good PC & bandwidth, don´t hesitate! Eternal glory awaits you! PS: Damn, I just remembered how hundreds of guys used to write /wr during tournament matches. I hope to see that again soon. ;)

09/03/2012 12:24:00

WR record streams are awesome! More of that please!

09/03/2012 12:46:00

I agree with unBreaks on this one :) jusu(it's jusu or jusuuh?) you should be more interested in a guy applying for tournament voice (or how should i call it),because it will be much more entertaining. As for the tournaments ... do as many as you can because in my oppinion,that's a big entertainment for the kz scene. For example,i'm bored of kz since 2010 and i barely played since then .. but since i joined XJ cups,the interest and fun is bigger than ever (allmost). So go with that .. i trully believe that i'm not the only one :) By the way,who writes these newsposts ? Nice english :>

09/03/2012 13:11:00

Cobrex, [flag]us[/flag] [b]Kangaroo[/b] is in charge of writing, as a native speaker it might be a bit more fluently done compared to my writing :) We truly are intresting for any help what we can get, no matter if it's a livestreamer, voice or writer. Hopefully people will apply!

09/03/2012 15:35:00

well i wouldnt say theres no potential if people got 140~ viewers when someone known tried a wr and thats just the kz community over a time frame of 1-2h who tuned in. I would personaly stream and play myself but mah upload speed kills me

09/03/2012 15:37:00

- Well guy's , gl with that ! :d Jusuuh ! <3

09/03/2012 16:30:00

Would be nice to know how the system requirements are for flawless streaming. And upload, do you think ~223 kByte/s are fine?

09/03/2012 18:12:00

I want the [b]"run of the week"[/b] back. :)

09/03/2012 18:50:00

hm^ It's totally back, didn't you see our comeback? ;) We have one more guest feature for the next episode, and then the existing team will continue, lead by [flag]ro[/flag] [b]kzro`CyclopP[/b] :)

09/03/2012 19:25:00

Ye, i saw that it is back, but the "votefunction" is away..

09/03/2012 19:27:00

when you mousehover on the flag, it show "no" maybe "Norway"? fix it ;)

09/03/2012 19:30:00

hm^ that was totally different thing, and yeah that's gone now I think. It didn't affect the ROTW choice itself at all, it's have been always chosen amongst admins. You should ask about the listing/voting thingy from someone else.
