no sadly, The chat is used for vital communication so I can easily organize everyone and help people if there facing issues.

Just want to note that I cannot attend the event because it is in the middle of the day during a work day although I guess it'll be super late for the EU players 😐 aside from that: Great idea.  I hope it turns well.

 

I wouldn't be available any sooner than 8 pm EST if I'm lucky.

I was looking into it and under the impression it can be streamed, But after searching you need to buy a $100+ device to stream which will make it impossible atm, My apologies.

Would only one person would to stream it, right?  I'm not sure (I don't know how it all works).  If it is, then maybe GFL can take the hit and have it sent to a staff member who might be participating?  I would imagine the item can be reused for many future events and $100 ish dollars isn't considered much for an organization.

Honestly, Im a little new to the whole concept of Nintendo switch streaming as well. I learned you need a capture card in order to steam which does cost some $$$. Only one person would need one since there is built in spectating in the game. Although Im not sure if Gfl would want to send one to a staff member mainly because We dont know how popular switch events will be and it is a decent cost.

Send a PM to someone like Ben or maybe Ben and a few people to see if it might possible?  It couldn't hurt to ask.  It doesn't seem terribly far-fetched that it could happen.

 

It's true there is a risk the event might not be very successful or may need more work.  Investing into it might help or at least be a stepping stone for future successful events after some tweaking.  Streaming the event can be justified as a type of advertisement; it might simply improve community morale or enjoyment, or have other indirect benefits.  I don't think every financial decision has to necessarily be profitable-- thinking too directly is not always the best move.
