Becoming an E-Sport
Captain Davy Jones:
QWERTY's stream wasn't up but I watched one of his commentaries/spectating games on youtube, and almost all of it was an extremely zoomed out view of the ships flying around shooting each other. This made it extremely uninteresting and got bored within minutes. I think that it's ok to zoom out this far sometimes, but i think the majority of the time the camera should be focused closer to the ships, and maybe locked to them. I think it will be pretty difficult to develop a good way to show everyone the full scope of the battle, while making it close up.
Just came up with a possible idea (may not be plausible but i'll state it anyway) : Maybe allow spectators to run around on ships of their choosing so they can view battles as if they were on the ship (which they basically are) while remaining invisible to the actually players.
Also it could be cool to keep a constant status of each teams ships on each side of the screen (similar to how spectating works in certain mobas where you see one teams heroes/health/items on one side and the other teams heroes/health/items on the other).
HamsterIV:
Qwerty is one man, catering to what was until last weekend a rather niche community. For major Esport coverage Muse would have to find a way of recording a match such that a single user could pause and rewind to view the action and all the variables from every angle, or there to be enough "Camera Men" to record the action on each ship and a director who can swap between channels to bring the best coverage.
Papa Paradox:
I <3 eSports, which is definitely the kind of spectator event Qwerty is trying to make the COGs.

Sounds like you just want to play the game. I find the overall battle more interesting to watch, because it shows positioning and tactics much better.

Was talking about casters, not me.
