Spectating Custom Games without Delay

Hi, I have been thinking of hosting 5v5 Lan - Tournaments with friends and we want to be able to spectate the games in an adjacent room on a big screen. The problem is now that there is always a 3 minute delay on spectating games. It would be nice to be able to cut the delay in custom games to be able to follow the game and the player reactions in real time and maybe even commentate the game like in the LCS.

I honestly think Spectate Mode needs a complete upgrade. From different camera angles, to like you said, removing the delay. Personally, I want an ingame feature to record my own matches, view them with a self spectate mode, and can see where my mistakes and advantages were so I can improve.

The delay should be a room option. That and a spectate password will keep ghosting from happening in custom tournaments and such.

you should be able to watch your friends play live when you spectate them, even if you see from your friends POV and not the whole map.
