As someone who in the grand scheme of things is very new and still a complete novice in the COH community I'd like to have an input.
Firstly, when I first joined 3 of the most welcoming people where Stormless, Hans and Tenschi and this is gut wrenching to 2 of these people at logger heads as I love you all.
Onto the main part of this, I can see both sides of the coin here, the long story short thing is, Hans, what I've seen people in the SC2 community do for GSL (The Korean tournament) is do an IRL stream where they'll be watching it an input their thoughts/cast over the top BUT not restream it as the viewers can still have that channel open to watch it and your stream open to listen to your input and have your chat. That way, you both get viewers from it, you're not rebroadcasting it (as per TOS of Twitch)
I hope you guys can come to a resolution to all this and move forward.
