On Twitch? If so, u can stream there, and then upload the games u played to twitch so people can see the games when they want. :)

Nice vid. Not sure what benefit live streaming would bring since the audience is pretty small, but I think continuing to post videos would be worthwhile to the community.

From the point of helping other people to not suck, I think videos of games you lose are more instructive than videos of games you win...

Why:
1) If you lose, presumably your opponent is actually quite good, making for a better game. If you win, this may or may not be the case.
2) If you lose, this might spark viewers to try and identify reasons for the loss, including considering possible mistakes. Being able to think critically about games like this is the primary difference between people who don't suck at EE, and people who suck at EE. If you win, viewers are much less likely to engage in any kind of thinking like this, as there is no dissonance with the narrative of 'Jossos is a good player, so Jossos won', and if there's any dissonance triggered by the narrative of ''[otherplayer] is a good player, but lost' being contradicted, it's a lot harder for people to try and identify possible mistakes from the end of the loser.

Could not agree more with Omega. These are some words of wisdom right here:

Also for viewers who watch solely for entertainment it gets boring if we know before the game even starts that it's a game you're gonna win.
Anyway, I liked the game you just posted, the more the merrier. Would be cool if you vsed Baron instead of you guys being on opposite sides tho.

If I lose any games that I record, I'll upload them then. Also, Baron is super rusty. He needs some time to recover his skills before I take him again. We did have a game where we were wing vs wing. I sorta had him, and then some noob lagged out i think.

Anyways, I'll have another vid uploaded in about 2 hours. I am taking omega's advice.
