No not that slow. They are delayed, though. Obviously we need to screen tweets to make sure they are PG-13, which takes some time. Properly encoding the stream to ensure a high quality signal also takes processing time, so viewers on twitch and youtube see the game with ~2min of delay compared to the production team live on site, so even the fastest tweets will still be a couple minutes old.
I don't know if you are allowed to say this, but can you show tweets that are trash talking or would that be against sponsor rules? I feel like the tweets could be really fun if they weren't all so 'positive' if that makes sense. Maybe tweets like, 'TL will 100% throw this lead' or something like that. It will make the twitch chat more fun IMO, and will likely feel more real
If I have a choice between a supportive tweet that is hyping up the teams and players, or one that is being negative or heckling them, I'm going to pick the positive one most of the time.
I think theres obviously a balance. Trash talk makes it fun, and since the tweets are pretty intrusive I feel like there should be more effort into making them more diverse. I think at least a decent number of people would agree with this. Otherwise it might as well be a bot sending messages with words from a random pool. Having positive messages isn't a bad thing, but if every message is positive it doesn't add anything to the broadcast, and kinda distracts from the whole thing.
An example is the tweet about the dude not wanting tsm to lose cuz it was his birthday. That had a bunch of actual emotion in it that people could feel, and it clearly was a popular tweet. Maybe if you don't want trash talk, show some of the more desperate tweets or anything other than the 'I'm so happy, good luck to both teams, can't wait to support both teams' sort of stuff.
All my opinion obviously with no stats to back it up. I just think it has so much potential to boost team rivalries and make the overall LCS more fun.
Totally agree. As people get familiar with having tweets on broadcast, I hope it encourages more fans to submit so we can highlight lots of unique and creative messages.
