Reddit mentions of Rosco E Colour Primary Lighting Filter Gel Pack (4) 10"x12" Sheets

Ok, so I am a casual COD competitive fan, but I wanted to give my 2 cents about this issue. As much as it sucks to have one team overshadow the rest of the players, and have them not get the same promotion as a top streamer like Scump, there are soooo many things that a lot these players can do to help their cause instead of complaining about not getting a retweet from CWL or sponsors or whomever.

​

-You want more natural viewers? Put up a camera like 99% of all successful streamers. Also, light the fucking room. Put a lamp near your face, turn on the overhead lights in your bedroom, and stop having 90% of the camera shot be your messy bed and your ceiling. If you think the lamp light looks weird, here are $10 pieces of plastic that can change the lighting of basically anything when you clip them to the light. If you think your room looks weird, turn your desk around and have the camera face the wall. Put up your teams t-shirt on the wall, or a poster, or anything that looks good and it is instantly 100x better.

​

-Another note on production value, if you are streaming without an overlay....why even bother. It is the most basic thing that you can add to your stream to instantly improve the quality. If you don't have a reputable graphics go-to guy, pay $50-$100 to some cod fan on the internet and they can make you one. If you're broke, spend one of your off days and learn the basics of Photoshop and do it yourself.

​

-Also the interaction with the chat is another important aspect of the success of guys like Scump and others. Aside from just talking with them, he's doing giveaways every X number of subscribers. Obviously not every player can give away pricier things like Scump, but shit get some t-shirts made and give those out signed or something. At a certain point its simple math. If you are making $250 off 100 subscribers, spend $25 of that on a giveaway. These young COD fans don't care, they just want a prize from one of their favorite players.

​

-If you're boring, then that's the only thing that isn't straight forward, and I don't think anyone can help you there. But guys like Aches and Clayster who have super polarizing and entertaining personalities don't have any excuse on that front.

​

If these pro players want to see serious results and success on Twitch that is even a tenth of what a guy like Scump can get, then they have to start taking it seriously as a business. Because the time to make money streaming is now, and in about 2 years there will be some young kid who is going to take your place on your roster and he's going to be fucking fluent in Twitch, because he spent half his childhood watching streams.

​

Stop looking outward at the lack of your success, and start fixing your own damn shit.

EDIT:

ALSO, as long as I am ranting, why don't some of these orgs make a team stream???? If your whole team is scrimming or in a 2k, and they are all streaming their POV, get some nerd on the internet to splice it all together live with an overlay and have them switch back and forth COD caster style. Obviously it wont be as good as a professional crew like CWL has, but jesus a lot of people have the computing power already that can do it. I think this is something that even huge teams like Optic should be taking advantage of, especially considering all the resources they have.
