I’m really excited about the world cup viewer and think its a great feature and also admire the quality of it (as a fellow software developer).
I would like to suggest a feature that lets you add the broadcast commentary into the viewer and sync them. Doing this manually by openning twitch in the background is very very difficult (mb easier for live viewer, but if you’re watching as VOD and wanna skip the waiting parts it gets really hard to sync them, also if you wanna re watch some fights etc).
On one hand it feels kind of empty watching the entire game in the viewer without the commentary (and crowd noises and things like that which makes it much more exciting). On the other hand watching it in the viewer and choosing the POV that interests me is much better, also the quality is BY FAR BETTER than in twitch.
I think this kind of a mix between the audio in the broadcast and the viewer can make it the ultimate watching experience without any compromises. If I took it even a step ahead, I would make sure only the audio in the stream that isn’t part of the stream in game audio will be merged to the viewer (because if you hear tracer POV in stream and winston POV in viewer, it can be really annoying because you hear the same things from 2 different perspectives).
