I'm an amateur tournament shoutcaster looking for advice.
Hello Summoners!
My nickname is ChrisCrossed, and I'm an amateur shoutcaster. Twice each semester, our college hosts a League of Legends tournament, which a fellow shoutcaster and I stream on Twitch. However, we don't tend to receive too many (if any) viewers, which has always been a bit of a disappointment.
I'm coming to you all, looking for some suggestions on what we can do to get a few more viewers. My buddies and I tend to do what we can to improve the quality of each tournament and cast, providing various details such as team/player discussions, pre-game shows, upper/lower brackets, and Best-of-5 final tournaments. Our tournaments are rather large even, sometimes hosting up to 16 teams!
However, the main problem that I feel we have is that we can't afford to hold constant tournaments. We are a college and cannot hold competitions but twice a semester, and thus it is difficult to keep a viewer count up.
That said, I personally have been proud of the progress our tournament broadcasts have been making, and feel it is a shame to not find any interested viewers.
As a shameless plug, our stream is over at http://www.twitch.tv/digipenesports, but honestly I'm just looking for any feedback possible to entertain you all more!
