Hey hey, what's crackin'? You guys ready for a wild weekend of hype West Coast & East Coast tournaments? I live I am. I'll be streaming HADOCON all day tomorrow, while our boys over at Team Spooky will be keeping it down both Saturday and Sun for NEC. Yup, I'll be the ultimate stream monster on Sunday, you can depend on that.
In the meanwhile I wanted to make everyone a heads up on a few changes here on iPlayWinner and what it means for you as a reader.
We get a lot of cool stuff planned in the future - yeah yeah, what else is new - but stay out all these new updates below. Team Spooky Merger
Of feed the big news this past week is the fusion between iPlayWinner and Team Spooky. We are combining forces to get you guys the best Fighting Game live streams, media and content week by week.This is something Spooky and myself have been preparation for quite sometime now, and finally hammered out all the details just recently.
A lot of mass were somewhat surprised about this move, but to us it simply made perfect sense. We find we can get a lot more done by working together and covering Fighting Game events from both the Eastward and West Coast.
iPlayWinner on Twitter | Team Spooky on Twitter | iPWxTS Facebook
iPlayWinner YouTube | Team Spooky YouTube
We felt that by having one point to where all our fans can go to get up to hurry on everything we're up to makes far more sense then constantly cross posting, retweeting and all that other internet nonsense.
This is precisely the beginning, and we're off to a big start. Thanks to everyone's overwhelming support, and stay tuned for more cross over projects between iPW and TS.
If you guys have any cool ideas and or just general thoughts on the merger, post up in the comments and let your part be heard! Justin TV / GamesCast TV
Many of you probably noticed both iPlayWinner and Team Spooky have a new family at Justin.tv. In our first week we've seen outstanding success by switching over, with our weekly streams seeing double the viewers than they commonly do, so we're really pleased so far.
One concern I see pop up a lot though is the "international viewer cap" that at a certain point would kick viewers from overseas.
This is not an effect on either the iPlayWinner OR Team Spooky Justin.v channels.
Justin.tv contacted us directly, and we mentioned this was out number one argue for not using them. Since then, they have removed the international viewer cap for us, so no matter where you live, you can always tune into what we're broadcasting.
Also, keep in judgment we're partners with GamesCast TV now. What this way for you, is that you can go to either one of our GamesCast pages and see what events we have planned or just watch the stream live from there. You can chat using the Justin.tv chat so it's only the like as if you were watching from Justin.tv. You can also determine other cool streams from other broadcasters there and genrally stay up to see on what's going on in the last stream e-sports - God I detest that word - world. Live Stream Schedule
I recently added a Live Stream Schedule to the proper side bar which will save you up to see on both iPlayWinner and Team Spooky live streams. There are even a few tweaks and adjustments I'd like to make, like the place that the events show up in, but over all this will be your one end to quickly see what we have plotted in the immediate future.
This course is powered by our friends over at GamesCast. Contact & Donate
I also redesigned the Donate page and added a Link page - both links are on the top navigation bar there. By leaving to the link page you can get in contact with the iPlayWinner Staff and also Team Spooky for pretty much anything. We likewise get a course on this same page that you can take out if you're interested in advertising on the site or our live streams.
The Donate page is completley different now as well. You can easily donate to either iPlayWinner or Team Spooky by striking this page and clicking either link. Your donations help us more than you can imagine, as we are constantly travelling and buying new gear to work you guys the better of the best Fighting Game content.

All in all, as I mentioned, the feedback from you guys on all these topics has been great, but keep sending us your ideas and what you'd care to see! Either way, enjoy the streams this weekend!
