Add an tab in-game called "Stream" and make sure that you there have a list of streams that are fully focussed on Guns of Icarus. This has been implemented into the game called Smite. There you can watch the stream while you are actually in-game.

The problem is that there's... pretty much only one, maybe two of these, which would be the cesports and the goio channel (and even that is only being used once a week). Everyone else who streams Goio almost certainly streams a plethora of other stuff as well.

Why not having some players streaming actual gameplay?

There is, sometimes. I'm just saying that as far as I know, there's not one person who streams nothing but Goio gameplay.

They can't (or won't) do more spectator slots (I've brought it up with them a lot. xD ). Like ramjam pointed out, there was issues with massive lag just from the sheer number of spectators. It was cranked down to 4, and I don't believe they have an intention of changing that.

I think having a better way of finding the streams for the matches would be better. It's hard to find a competitive match that's not streamed. Usually you'll get cepsorts or therobanddan show with something, but when they're tied up, there's a number of other streamers that tend to sub in. I've done this on occasion (although it's not comparable to an actual caster).



Available casters aside, one problem with streaming is that once you start, you can't advertise your stream anymore. You're in the match and have no way to interact with global. Sometimes other players fill in for them and post the link and say what's going on, but only sometimes. It'd be better if the stream was integrated into the game or they were able to make it more visible that they're streaming a certain match (Such as a little icon next to the match you can click to link you to the twitch, or a stream tab in social, or whatever).
