Can we please get 2 hours of dead air after the broadcasts end?

I enjoy watching the various regions pro scenes on the esports page. The problem is that I rarely start watching them the moment they start so usually I'm ~40 minutes behind on the youtube stream.

It's really annoying having the stream turn off in the middle of a game because it ended during real time. I understand that later on I can watch the VOD, but it really kills the moment when you're watching the game defining teamfight only to have the video cut out then having to wait some times hours to pick back up where you left off.

Youtube allows for you to go back 2 hours during the broadcast in case you missed the start or wanted to go re-watch some thing. Is it possible to get 2 hours of dead air when the stream ends to allow for the people watching it on youtube to finish the stream normally?

I often lose time in the middle of the broadcast to go back and double-watch certain chains of events, or need to pause to handle real-life matters, so some dead air at the end of the broadcast would be really appreciated to avoid getting "cut off" in the middle of a game.

+1 I also like to watch the youtube stream on the site. I want to pause when the doorbell rings and pick up right were I left off. I hate how they just cut the stream off.

This is still really annoying to me that the stream suddenly dies in the middle of what you're watching.
