<div class="IPBDescription">How to access the most people</div>The past few years have seen an explosion in streaming videos games via twitch.tv/justin.tv. The game that has seen the most users tune in to a stream to my knowledge is LoL. Why?

I don't play LoL but I know they have something inside the game that allows you to view any current tournament stream. They pull serious numbers. I'm talking over 100k concurrent viewers.

UWE will benefit greatly from having some sort of ingame notification of current streams/clan games going.

    QLPrism (a customized browser to launch Quake Live) has an 'active streams' news ticker. So if you want to see how it's done outside of LoL, there you go. Plus it's a free great game!

    There's also <a href="http://qtv.quakeworld.nu/" target="_blank">this </a>which uses the in-game spectator system in Quakeworld to watch live games. Like HLTV but with an up-to-date list of active games on a webpage.

    Actually most ppl went to own3d.tv (especially from LoL which gave a big push in popularity of livestreaming) since they were the ones bringing Xsplit Broadcaster, which made lifestreaming that much more userfriendly for gamers.

    Tho its more LoL on own3d, while i feel a bit like twitch has more sc2, dunno.

    Whatever, having fans of ns2 in the twitch.tv staff seems practical.
