hi everyone, this is an area i've been thinking about for a bit and i've come up with something.
so a neat thing you can do on twitch is hosting. this is most effective if you've just finished streaming and another one is live or just about to start, and i think i've seen some players do that before.
i'm trying something a bit different, though: hosting a stream on mine and just inviting people to chat in there. the idea is that i can break down the absolute basic stuff to go along with the stream's more advanced commentary, which i think would be more engaging to new viewers than just going into the actual stream where the chat is all experts & memelords. the actual stream still gets credit for the viewers through hosting, and it gives you a button to follow them, so it wouldn't cannibalize the way a restream would. i brought this up on twitter and am going to try it with the titandrake-pubby match and future A/B matches in the league.
anyone with a pre-existing audience from elsewhere could do this, i think. any other suggestions?
