lol, do you even know the reason for the fire in Moscow?
It wasn't really a coalition, Napoleon forced conquered states to grant him an army, which later on betrayed him when he started losing against the Sixth Coalition. Only Poles were true allies of France, given the Duchy of Warsaw, an autonomous and independent (at least from Prussia and Russia) region.
Also, WW2 and tsar in USSR? :export:

lol, do you even know the reason for the fire in Moscow? Scorched earth strategy. As I said, weather, diseases, lice and the Russian serfs played a crucial role in this war. The Russian army just kept avoiding an outnumbered but way better army otherwise its ass would've got kicked.

+ If someone has ever hit rock bottom, remember that the Russians serfs burned the city they had built in order to save their masters.

So that was it, congrats to Diarouga! Stream was nice, but also a bit stressful for us ;P Reached a top of 260 viewers though. Hope to see everyone next time! :)

+1 haha. I forgot how stressful setting up streams can be. It was even more so because interjection and zuta were both unavailable (they're usually very reliable casters) and there was some extra pressure to cast every game in a very tight schedule.

Yeah, every match today had different casters lol. Overall I think the viewer experience didn't get ruined by it, we were just in time, every single time :P

Of course huge thanks to everyone involved, but the waiting was pretty annoying, and I would imagine some newer players would get mad because of that. Also, maybe try to confirm the casters in the future so that such shenanigans won't happen again?

Actually the winter tournament finals got almsot 500 I think. But that one was more anticipated, theres a 100 viewer core or so that knows this event is happening and tunes in within the first hour of the stream. Then there's a group of ~200-300 people that might tune in over the course of the stream if they notice it, which they may or may not. Then there's another group of unknown size that might randomly find the stream without knowing about it or so, or viewers that are very hard to reach (they're more easily reached by an ongoing event, if they catch one stream they might get hooked or at least look out for the finals). But for such a one weekend event, 250 viewers is awesome indeed. I feel we still lose a lot of the less diehard members when there's a caster switch or the stream goes down for a little bit or if there's other downtime. I have no idea how that would be fixed given that we have no professional casters that can do all of it in one sitting some way or another.

Fortunately, @sircallen saved the day :P Really, I haven't seen the game in high graphic setting in a while, and that first game on Bonnie Springs looked very appealing. In these moments have to appreciate the work of our great map team!

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I understand that it wasn't ideal, I didn't know that minimized UI was needed to run aiz's UI. I was notified about 5 min before we went live that I had to stream/cast, and I had never had the UI before ,or cast before, or streamed on the ESOC channel.

I knew the UI didn't look right, I was reading the chat, but when i changed minimzed/maximized UI in-game, it still looked the same, so I just went with it. I apologize. Didnt' really know what to do :S

As far as quality goes, I can stream much higher :p I had it turned down by default since my personal channel doesnt have quality options. Glad it seemed high enough quality, was slightly worried.

And a huge thank you to @umeu of course for talking the whole time and providing worthwhile commentary.
