imo if sc2sea has a pool of casters we can look for sponsers to pool in some money. i can talk to some companies to sponser some funds not much just so that during breaks or something we can put their logo etc.

sounds commercial but it helps bring up the site, provided we have a steady traffic pool of viewers during matches and site visits.

That will be great actually. Talked to two huge companies but the reponse has been hesistant or they offer too low end prizes. PM me your msn please! Definetly wont mind putting their logo in return for sponsorship of funds.

This is already the case, unfortunatly all the different casters use different streaming services and different quality streams which makes it inconsistant. This deters alot of sponsors for doing something.

The best way to fix this would be to put all the casters under one banner, but a few months ago i tried this but it fell through.

What sponsors care about is exposure, i know i havent been casting lately in the past few weeks but its been because I have been updating my streaming system to accomodate things that sponsors want!

for EG. the FXopen tournament next weekend i am doing. ($1000 first place prize)
- Video Intro for FXopen before each match.
- Audio interviews with players during intermission of matches
- Video overlay during games to promote FXopen
- VOD's up within 24 hours on youtube.

but MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, is the proffesionalism of the cast itself. eg, silly jokes, talking shit etc, while some gamers prefer the laid back attitude i can guarantee you big sponsors done. Trust me i have spoken to a few.

They also want stats tracking. EG from Ustream for a couple of my casts

There is NO WAY i would have secured $1000 without that kind of support/exposure for them.


Now This unfortunatly to give the sponsors isnt possible with your basic tools given to you by the Ustream/livestream free service i have spent months figuring out the best way to do it all but it does look alot better now! Only thing i have left to do is update my PC so i can finally do 720 P casts (i am about 10% CPU power off )

That being said if any up and coming casters would like some help with the extra software ETC i am more than willing to help since i simply cant cover every event in the next 2 weeks i have about 8 events im covering lol.
