I thought you spectated live matches, not watching old matches... No wonder I thought it was weird when I recognized a couple of matches and had a deja vu.
What do you mean? Why would you have dejavu
Sometimes I host tournaments, in which case all commentary is live.
Sometimes I host 1v1 friendlies and do live commentary, while other times I save the replays and do live commentary later. Kind of like how HuskyStarcraft does it. The majority of the time when I commentate replays, I'm pretty much watching them blind and don't remember how they turned out. All I know is it was a good enough match to save and add to my work queue.
It allows me to keep the quality levels up. There's actually a whole process I go through to vet matches and players so I have some great and interesting matches to share with you guys. It takes longer than sticking to solely live commentary, but I think it leads to much better videos for you guys.
For example, laggy matches don't make it up for obvious reasons as they wouldn't be helpful, as well as extreme cases where both players SD often or make repeated mistakes. I've had to increase the bar on the skill level because of the high volume of friend requests I've gotten, and the Wii U has a limit to how many friends you can have. So this adds to the reasons why I have to be more selective, which makes things take longer, which makes me have to save replays more often than doing purely live commentary.
I don't just want to put all of the matches I host or play up, you'd get a lot of crap and I do not intend to flood my subscribers with crap.
Also, the amount of time it can take to get 2 evenly matched players together can be so long that doing live commentary doesn't make sense on some nights. Instead, I can save up a few matches to commentate at once.
