Just on the stream downtime note. Roaming camera even of itself would be fine. I remember at ACL Sydney last year they had something like this. I distinctly remember watching ninja vs jazbas on Antiga from behind ninja for a little while. This is something cool that also familiarises the stream audience with where the players are actually playing. Players could sit behind someone and just talk about the game, interviews if you had someone to do that.
Hell if you run another event in Sydney, put the Camera over the players shoulder and get another player of the same race (eg: ninja is playing, grab moonglade) and talk about what ninjas doing and why -- from his perspective.
