OnlyMan.:
When I look at big games such as League or StarCraft 2, I think of two things, in terms of publicity. 1.)They are well advertised through their competitions. Now, we are already making progress, being recently picked up by MLG and having some kick-ass tourneys on the way. 2.) The plethora of channels on twitch of people streaming. Im not talking about competitions, necessarily, we already have that nailed down pretty good with the combined efforts of our seasoned casters. Im talking about us, streaming ourselves playing the game, talking about the game and, most of all, having a good time.  Streaming is super easy. Make an account at twitch.tv. Download OBS (open broadcast software) or some other form of free software. Then its just a matter of setting up your camera/microphone/overlays to fit the image you want. Here is a 10 minute YouTube vid I found explaining the process, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBIcliA9U0o. For this game to grow, the population needs to grow. This is a great way to show off the game and get people interested. If you would like to see how I approach streaming the game, you can check out my stream at www.twitch.tv/aleyeska. Also check out Rob and Dan, Imagine42, Fourth Oracle, and PuppyFur's stream (sorry if I missed anyone) to see how they go about streaming. If you have any questions, feel free to message me here or in game :D

Deltajugg:
Matchmaking will have to be implemented first for the games to happen on consistent basis, right now you can still end up with a bunch of full lobbies you can't join and one empty lobby filling for 30 minutes, which won't help game advertising much. As much as I wish consistent streaming would be a thing, it'll be troublesome with inconsistent match frequency most of the time.

OnlyMan.:
Youre definitely right there. Matchmaking will keep the games chugging along. This is just something for people to think about. :)

pandatopia:
One other huge, HUGE difference is: ingame replays.

Without that, streaming is only a small part of it =(

Omniraptor:
+1 for replays. Something like hltv would be huge.
