If you look at a lot of Twitch upstairs Allowed streaming right now, you'll know they say "24/7." This can strike you as strange, as long as people need food, sleep and all that good, life-sustaining jazz. Most of these broadcasts, are actually not live. At least, not all the time.
Since launching its closed beta a few weeks ago, Riot Games & # 39; s new shooting tactics Allowed dominate Twitch, to pull the viewer’s display numbers for what, at this point, is probably the amount of time recorded. But people are not just hungry for the intolerable Be proud as played by special members of the armed forces are also witches; there are beta keys that are at risk, and if you want one, you should log in to Twitch. Any stream with beta access will do. Alternatively, you should link your Riot account with your Twitch account and stay in person chat and wait. If you exceed the limit for a few hours, you are eligible to receive the key. Riot says the selection process is non-existent, but it gives a higher "weight" to people who have watched for hours Allowed streams. “Time is familiar and has reduced effects,” he said say in a blog post on April 8th, "So please don't burn yourself trying to march Allowed streams. ”
That, however, did not stop the ecosystem of 24/7 streams in the game's outbreak. Here's how most work: In half a day, online broadcasts, live play and live chat. In the end, they go offline, but its streaming stays offline, including a live day recording or an assortment of great photos from various gaming sessions. So live streaming, but broadcasting is not. Twitch has a built-in rerun feature, but flowers change this because of significant beta drops. Viewers, many of them WOMEN, hangout in these streams, hoping to find their chance to wrap up the most important beta key. Viewing with the intent of snatching illegal buttons has been a problem. This makes sense, given that the buttons were sold for over $ 150 on eBay and other sites until Riot said that players in purchased accounts could end up banned. Now the prices are in the $ 15-30 range, but wholesale can still fetch a good pen. But Riot emphasized in his blog post that "we and Twitch have filters in place to separate people from bots vs."
Obviously, the 24/7 method works for flowers. If you look at Twitch at any time, the downside is that you'll find it longer CSGO content creator Ludwig "Anomaly" Lagerstedt on top of Allowed category with over 100,000 participating viewers. For the better part of the past few days, he has been a leading broadcaster throughout Twitch according to the same audience. Chat is what most people ask about buttons, including commands like "! Givekey" even though it doesn't do anything, and checking their watch time. More 24/7 Allowed Broadcasting as a gaming week Fextralife (also embeds its distribution across its pages to include its viewing statistics), Russian IrmanPlay, andBe proud pro Screen I'm not too far behind.
This broadcast plays a program – presented by Riot with the Twitch watch program with the promise of pulling the beta key for those who have spent hours watching Allowed streams. In the discussion, it's getting wider: Viewers are trying to find ways to play the program and increase the likelihood of getting beta buttons by coming up with fake threads like the command above "! The "conspiracy" that the AFK live in but leave their sound and invariably enter the command "! Watching Time "improve their chances. There's no place where Riot or Twitch has suggested that any of these MLG pro keyboards will actually work, but Twitch viewers are clearly curious.
G / O Media may receive a commission
These rivers have proven to be divisive among the streamers. Others, like likes Fortnite pro turned to wish Allowed Pro Ali "Myth" Kabbani has spoken ill of them.
4/5 high Allowed stations (now) are 24/7 VOD streams, ”he said he said on Twitter earlier this week.
This has created a response from streamer and YouTuber Jimmy "HighDistgment" Moreno, who he said that “You know it's a problem when new viewers ask & # 39; Is this a 24/7 stream or & # 39; Is this live? & # 39; Both answers to these questions you should made clear on Twitch – a live streaming platform. ”
Kabbani agreed with Moore. Many others agree, saying that promising new broadcasts will try to make it big in the background AllowedSuccess accumulates in Twitch's most recognizable parts by broadcasters who are not rushing for half the time, and who form important investor communities, not real fans. Another broadcaster, G2 esports expert Jakub “Lothar” Szygulski, said he agrees with Kabbani and Moore, but a temporary cave: This has allowed him to simply expand his channel in a big way. On Twitch, an increasingly crowded platform every day, you're taking what you can get. "I can't say that," Szygulski said.
24/7 Allowed developers who talked to Kotaku they find themselves coming to the same conclusions. Group Meeting Apex mythology player Nikola "Nikolarn" Aničić he said in an email that he initially got the idea of a 24/7 broadcast being "weird" because "I'm a talented FPS player," but ultimately "couldn't reach viewers, because even most of my viewers left watching those 24/7 streams as drops. ”
"I have strongly criticized the 24/7 VODs, but then I just went with the (mantra of) & # 39; If you can't beat them, join them, & # 39; says Aničić." Why should my brand be featured on Allowed only phase 8 hours a day while others are exposed 24 hours a day? If viewers don't know what it's like, why should they? What I do is not a long-term solution. Temporary & # 39; s recent exposures & # 39; for new followers. ”
At this point, he estimates that he lives about 50 percent of the time, after which he uses the old player's VODs. Still, however, he says he often shakes his chair and gets up frequently so he can answer people's questions in conversation. In addition, he is considering partnering with a programmer to create a VOD on the part of his broadcasts that he has given a good deal to do with television. In the long run, he sees all of this as justified because “I can say with confidence that I play this game and will play this game at a much higher level than most of these 24/7 streams, why miss the chance to reach such a large audience now? "
Craig “Onscreen” Shannon approaches his 24/7 broadcast in the same sense while trying to spend as much time as possible on the live. “I've been pushing the hell out Allowed as alpha and they have been broadcasting for about 12-16 hours daily and I only use VODs during sleep, ”says the email Kotaku. "I've seen some mysterious streams broadcast live and some recently broadcast VOD 24/7, which I strongly disagree with."
He said he got about 500,000 followers as a result Allowed, and his subscriber count reaches 14,000. He thinks that is an indication that, contrary to popular belief, he does not merely extract the absurd keys. "You don't need to follow, and obviously, you don't need to subscribe, so, not all my non-viewers are trying buttons, & # 39; said Shannon. "I understand where the myth comes from, but at the end of the day, the # 1 rule of Twitch says that viewers will look for anyone they want to see, and if they choose to watch someone else play VOD, then that's their choice.
He agreed, though, that the plan might be to harm small flowers. "Of course, young engineers are affected by this," he said. “I was even touched by this when I used to broadcast CSGO. Contests are always reruns like live on CSGO section and take the top spots, affecting my look then. I asked Twitch about this years ago and he was told it was okay. I would miss watching this thing again. ”
A representative of Fextralife, which uses a lot of flowers, said that, unlike other 24/7 radios, the station does not operate any VODs. "We were chasing sleep streaming, because it's a very popular game," the lawyer said.
Kotaku Reached Riot and Twitch to see if they plan to change the functionality of Allowed The beta key came down with streams of light and 24/7 viewers who seemed confused about how the keyboards worked, but received no response as of yet.
If Twitch decides to ban 24/7 Allowed broadcast, Shannon is unsure how the company will release it.
"People are calling Twitch to ban VODs, how are they doing that?" he said. “Some popular streams flow without a webcam and no communication. How can they prove it is lifeless? If I were Twitch, I would add the option that developers would flag their broadcasts as rerun without using the rerun feature. Right now most people are putting it on their head (and myself included), but I can see that some have not deliberately done this, which is completely other news. ”
In the end, he has returned from a common refrain among those who are trying to squeeze their way into the front of a well-settled Twitch pack Allowed Broadcast: The system is destroyed. He just uses the questionable foundation laid out by Twitch and Riot.
"To any enemies I can find in this case I just ask: What can you do with my situation?" he said. "Hate the game, not the players."
