It's as if you don't know how it's done. We talked and then forgot :D

Actually, I understand perfectly well, because I work in a field where brilliant ideas are constantly generated, then forgotten, abandoned, and fail. And only a few projects turn out to be successful.

Who's stopping anyone from taking it on and implementing it?

I didn't suggest it because I was planning to do it myself, but rather to encourage someone else to do it. Merlin was interested at first, but then he disappeared.

What prevents someone from taking it and implementing it themselves?

Oh, lol. That's how the question was phrased :D

From the very beginning, the idea seemed utopian and completely unpromising to me. But I won't interfere, I'll just watch from the sidelines.

I didn't suggest it for that reason... I didn't suggest it because I was going to do it myself, but to encourage someone else. Merlin was interested, but then he disappeared.

Yeah, just threw it out there :D

Hello everyone.
This is a very interesting topic for me.
Sorry for joining the conversation late.

I really enjoy watching gameplay videos, but definitely with commentary from the player. Where they explain what, why, and how they are doing things.

Specifically, when the player themselves provides the commentary.

I, or rather the company I work for (maybe in exchange for a link to our website in the stream description), even wanted to sponsor such a tournament, allocating 1500-2000 rubles to the prize pool.

I wanted to create a "commentator tournament." That is, a mandatory condition would be that participants submit gameplay videos with their own commentary. And using some spectacular XL templates, like Jebus'.

I even tried contacting Romario and Psih.

About 5-6 people seemed willing to participate: according to Romario, it would be him, Amilu, Psih (when he was still playing), Ikhtiandr, Tvaryna, and Crazy.

But no one wanted to take on the role of organizer and judge. And I can't do it myself; I can only provide the prize fund in WMR.

And somehow, everything fizzled out.

But the idea is very similar to the idea of the respected Wicc.

Only the commentator is not an outsider who may not understand what is happening.

By the way, is it technically possible to implement a system where a commentator and a player can comment simultaneously?

If they can hear each other, then yes – use Skype for broadcasting. But if they can’t hear each other, I think the idea isn’t very good; they’ll just be distracting each other.

Of course, they need to be able to hear each other. The question is whether this will distract the player. From experience playing in clubs, I've noticed that some players can play freely and simultaneously discuss what's happening out loud, consult with viewers, while others, on the contrary, become withdrawn and feel uncomfortable even with the viewers' comments, let alone their own speech.

A third-party commentator should ideally show both sides – what’s the point of communicating with a player? It’s a constant threat of accidentally spoiling the situation.

Yes, there is a problem with organization :) Real life interferes – they seemed to have already agreed, and then one was sent on a business trip, and another went to the village to harvest potatoes... But in my opinion, the idea is still feasible; you just need a responsible person who will coordinate all these streamers

yes, there is a problem with organization :) it greatly affects reality, it seems they already agreed, and now one is being sent on a business trip, and another to the village to harvest potatoes... but the idea is still feasible in my opinion, you just need a responsible person who will coordinate all these streamers ;)

But do you somehow participate in tournaments organized by this portal? :)
The main thing is to have an organizer and a competent and authoritative judge.

a little late, but still
1) very interesting
2) games, starting from the 1/4 finals of the World Championship in Heroes. finals and semi-finals of any tournament on Heroes World. finally, the game between Maretti and Alexander the Great. Is it a template? Maybe, but the main thing is to have a good commentator: explaining what and why the players are doing; explaining, even if it's boring, but so that EVERYONE understands.
3) if the matches are commercial, then it is desirable to hold them during the holidays: winter, May, summer. It is necessary to attract the maximum number of people, and this can only be done on international holidays. Besides, there is no point in watching a broadcast from the 4th week. And 5 hours of free time on weekdays will not be available to everyone.
4) the level is not right)))
5) I will leave the right to decide to others

I would add that the amount is too high. A dollar is the best option. With the right promotion, it will be possible to gather 1000 spectators. If the winner receives $500, the loser receives $300, and the commentator receives $200, then everyone will be satisfied.

p.s. As a commentator, I like Toganash)))
