...or... at least I certainly ATTEMPTED to. About 30 minutes in, everything started falling apart repeatedly on the stream itself.

Naturally, my FIRST thought was that the culprit was my own Internet connection, but the matches never actually encountered any such trouble.

Then I suspected the service provider, as it is often the case that there's just some random lapse in proper packet routing, if not outright outage. Again, it would be reasonable to expect something like this to create interruption in online gameplay, but it's also not entirely unheard of that relatively simplistic (albeit frequent and strenuous) communication between players might slip through the cracks.

After checking absolutely everything else... turned out there was a problem with Twitch itself, i.e. the ingest server was having a bit of a moment. Heck, I couldn't even reconnect to Twitch manually at the time.

That's what you get for trying to stream during EVO, I guess. TOTALLY RELEVANT, I'M SURE.

(No, really, not only did EVO have a bunch of streams, but there were countless other channels watching and rebroadcasting the very same content with their own input overlaid. It's kinda glorious, in a super data-crunchy cascading kinda way.)

Egregiously more where that came from:

So... I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those dea...

I mean... I just put all the pieces back together and threw them into one conglomerated, uggo-ass unedited video.

Once it became clear that the stream wasn't going to be working, I captured a local recording of what would otherwise have been a redundant video entirely, since there's just the one version of the footage for once.

Otherwise, it's not an especially any more interesting than normal except for the facts that a) I'm actually uploading and publishing this thing and b) I just wanted to complain about it. Even after almost a week had passed.

My priorities are TOTALLY in order. I assure you.
