The VOD of episode 3 of #criticalinking is up now on YT! I feel like the topics in here are important to keep in mind as both competitiors and organizers, and I'm hoping we can continue the discussion on proper competitor conduct going forward. Check it out here: youtu.be/WPWg4pEzZeQ

The next episode of #criticalinking will be airing LIVE Wednesday, June 18th, @ 2pm PT / 5pm ET! The topic of the day will be viewership in #compsplatoon, and why so few people watch tournaments.

I have a LOT to talk about, but I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts down below beforehand!

#CriticalInking we should just have a melee doc for splatoon and do deep dives on the stories of teams as youtube videos. I think that'll spice things up for viewership @hitw.ink

For the informational plug, go check out the #CriticalInking podcast by @hitw.ink. If you want to be a personality for the scene, reach out to myself or @broadcastbeep.com if you would like to appear on the #SplatChat and we may offer you a spot at some point.
Information is there but hard to find.

I agree with what @hitw.ink said on this week's #CriticalInking podcast.
If we want to get more storylines to be told, it needs to be the casters to give them to the viewers. HOWEVER casters can do so much work on a continuous stage, so we need information given to them.

Listening to the latest #CriticalInking and I think the kind of #compsplatoon content I want to see most is art that depicts hype moments from tournaments

I listened to @hitw.ink ‘s #criticalinking podcast from this week regarding attracting more viewership and excitement around the competitive scene, particularly with commentary (my focus is on ways the doesn’t already exhaust and over-worked production/prep crew)
