If both players agree to playing with observers, ESOC probably shouldn't enforce protection of the players. If neither the protection of the players, nor the ESOCTV brand is a problem, why is it still not allowed?
This is my question as well.
It's a good question. I think brams post answered this. The brand is affected. If someone streams a game, people know it's a tournament game. We can't enforce on private streams as many of the responses have pointed out. That's why It's not realistic for us to allow private streams.
In the same way a production crew controls every aspect of a sporting events coverage we do the same for our events. Imagine if one week your football game was covered by Joe with a shakey camcorder running up and down the field. imagine That was the only coverage you got for that. It will link back to us for allowing it to happen.
we have a wide open door. If you shoot an application and you have high quality and a reasonably good effort to your casting you are on the list. You can cast anything you want by working with our caster group.
What would be more helpful is to talk about any ideas you have to improve our casting system rather than asking us to make it optional.
