The Livestream Update: Recent Episodes
Project Livestream
Hans ends Magnus's 53 win streak by... cheating? Thanks Ludwig for giving him the idea through your xQc stream. Speaking of xQc... where is he? Not at Camp.
The big news this week was Froste's accusations of 100T. He alleged that 100T took a whopping 95% of sponsorship deals (not true... right?) among other financial hardships.
We also talk about Mizkif cheating on his diet, Ludwig getting swatted, Kai Cenat hitting 60k subs to become the 2nd highest subbed Twitch streamer, and Crap Camp's announcement.
Camp Knut is over; was it any good? Also, Twitch announced today that they are ending the exclusivity clause in their partner program.... sort of. Tune in to learn about how Twitch streamers can now stream on YouTube and TikTok.
The Livestream Q2 results are out! Let's discuss the still falling hours of the "streaming recession." Also, Lirik announces that he will become a father, Hafthor "Thor" Bjornsson joins Camp Knut, and Team Spirit wins the Dota 2 Arlington Major.
In this episode, we discuss the problems underlying Twitch's stance on gambling on its own platform (or the lack thereof) along with the new PC company, Starforge Systems, started by OTK and its implications, motives, and the immediate public (LSF) backlash.
Is YouTube the future of streaming, or will Twitch stay on top? What’s with all of the DMCA bans? Are streamers lazy?
Check in weekly every Tuesday morning to hear about news from the livestreaming worlds of Twitch and Youtube as we dive deep into the industry.
See you next week.
