For the "awkward" comment: I'll try to work on it in the future. I pretty much ignored the fact that there was a webcam for the most of the event, as I didn't really expect to be there casting, was really just there to say hello to everyone as it was likely the last cityhunter event.

As for advertising it -- it would be a HUGE loss to cityhunter to close the store to public for the day. As much as we all love SC2, the simple fact is that we aren't big enough in sydney to close a lan center down for a day. Also, a lot of the people who play games are lan centers are playing LoL (or other games, but iirc LoL is by far the most popular), thus making them lose even more money.

Setting up a spectator area is almost impossible. Most of the tables, computers.. hell, anything that can be, is bolted down. There's very little room to even stand behind players as they play -- setting up a viewing area in the lan center is simply not feasible, especially since they have to continue day-to-day operations.

There was one quite a while back where they used one of the private rooms as a bit of a viewing area... just had one PC that joined the game as an observer and filled that room to watch. Was quite good, but unsure if they can spare two rooms since often one is used to get a bit of quite space for the stream.

During the whole event, there was generally people in the room next to us. Renting it out is a pretty big loss of income to them.

For that event we had ~8 in that room, and whilst it was fun, we ended up trading that for a stream. As tgun has said, 2 rooms is out of the question, we are lucky to get one.

Quick Comments

	syfChadMann:	Could you do offsite stream and viewing room?..
	Pandan:	Chad makes a good point. You can often do better production at home, especially when there's no players on camera etc
