Just curious, are we going to have multiple streams for the event or just one for each event. Been hearing that there would be a main stream, but didn't hear anything about secondary streams and what not.

if the internet can handle multiple streams there should be multiple streams.

(as in more than 1 per game if possible)

I'd definitely support multiple streams at Apex as it would give more exposure in general for everyone to see. There's simply no downfall for this.

One stream. The other stream would be Jaxel's stream for Marvel/SF/MK.

The way the schedule is set-up is that there is no need for a secondary stream.

Why's that? There's no way you can possibly cover every match with only one stream, only basically the good hype matches. I don't get it. At Genesis 2, there were plenty of streams and recording everywhere, where people can look at what they want.

There's plenty of time for everything. Think of this like a TV show, it has a schedule and it shows all the important segments that people want to watch. Not every match needs to be up there. Also, there were two streams for Genesis 2 (one for Melee and one for Brawl) to my knowledge. And we did the same for Apex 2010.

What we're trying to do is combine the streams so there will be more focus on one spectacular stream which we can segment everything out and give everyone a great show. With two streams, the concentration get's divvied out and while it may be "good" it will not be "amazing". More does not equal best.

Recording has nothing to do with streams. There will be plenty of that going on.
