i said this shit a while ago but the ppl behind it seem to think it has no effect on viewership but it clearly does. i saw some prem game struggle to even reach 100 viewers i think it was more like 70-80 which is worse than what quake live 125fps cup was getting.
no ones watching this game anymore online or on LAN and while i dont think this is at all a primary reason for this kinda thing but all it does is add confusion, inhibits funding through twitch emotes and shit like that, makes it harder for those ppl who only tune in because theyre following that specific channel (in iseries LAN we would get a lot of viewership from twitch staff and pros from other games who were interested) etc
makes no fucking sense whatsoever that al these channels exist
