Well I've guess you've gotta choose between having more viewers watch it, or angering a bunch of people who hate having to wait 5 days for no reason. Personally I would choose to just have less viewers.

There are alternatives as well. Especially since it was a long series, you could've just streamed it by itself at prime time on a weekday. Or, you could've released it on youtube (perhaps as a private video where people need to request the link from you), and still stream it on Sunday.
literally anything would have been more logical than having casters casting in the game but having it streamed from first person pov with 110 viewers.....

A more carefully planned stream with no random inannounced short streams and consistent hd quality has been the main guideline that almost tripled the amount of viewers. People here can act as if they know everything better, but at least try to do so without ignoring this fact.

Well the fact is that the monday stream had a record amount of views. And the Mitoe-TLS games were played on monday.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Record amount of views would be 700 though.

Correct, we're in the RO32 now. I assure you that record won't stand this weekend.
