For a while now i've been holding trains for whatever reason there is (sometimes i even asked you people for a reason).

but NOW there is finally a reason (or atleast a couple).

1

i've been an active hearthstone player for a while now (more specifiecly since the closed beta, been playing for 7 years now).
accumulated over 8k arena wins and reached legend rank 15 in wild europe with the aim of getting 1st for the first time(and maybe getting invited to a tournament).

in the past i've managed to get rank 11 in legend and 10 in legend, but this is the first time i reached 15 in legend this early in the month.

i have another friend who is an active hearthstone player and we've been thinking of opening a twitch channel (never did this stuff before, heck i never even uploaded a single youtube video).

any tips for starter streamers?

p.s if you want to add me on europe i am LiorTheSote#2880

2

TESTS, yes i am sure all of us are big fan of those, heck on my free time i'm downloading and solving harvard physics exams, no?
am i the only one? alrightie then.

seriously though, me and my friend (the one mentioned above), are both roomates and we are studying computer science, now there's only 20 days to go until our first test, and we are lazy af to study, so here we are, me asking the community to give us some motivation!
yes! you! the little guy!
motivate us!
use your hypnosis skills, threatening skills, barganing skills, heck even your monopoly skills to beat me online and convince me i should study and that it's good for me.

i've been rambling alot but now here's the fun part.

i am currently away from my main PC which holds most of my games for the GA (yes yes, i'm aware nobody cares about the above and everyone wants to get on the chu chu).

this chuchu will be quite special since ill try going for an all new personal record!! over 500 GA in a single train!!

currently can host 822 GA's at the same time so it should be fine.

HOWEVER as mentioned above, not all GA's will be here right now and some wont even start today, i will however release GA's whenever i can and feel like it(we talked about motivation stuff, don't judge me)!

the GA's will end the day of the exam!

so until then please give me/us/all students world wide some godamn motivation.

and as som1 i know always says and i hope to god wont sue me, Yes.

How would you encourage a person to study?

Don't do this test mate! I mean, really. I don't need rivals, the less people graduate in computer science - the higher will be salaries of computer specialists, and vice versa. So I'm genuinely interested in your fail.
Also, this poll is confusing... Where exactly am I supposed to stick in that carrot to make someone study? ( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)

My motivation for you is this:

I studied and finished sociology but I never worked in my field as it does not pay well and there are too many sociologists. So my dream now is to find a job that pays 800$/m or more while my last job was 575$/m.

2 of my friends studied something related to computers and programming and one is earning 1000$/m and the other one 1500$/m.

So if you don't want to be poor study hard things that are useful :)

while i do understand this, it's hard to follow through.

i've been raised by a single mom who is defined "poor" but the country, we hardly made ends meet, i even had to take a job to help pay rent at some point instead of save for my living, currently i live at the students dorms, but even with all that, somwhere in my head, it's either addiction to electronics, or simply the "don't grow up" thing, but in the end, the result is no studying.

it's funny, but my friend entered the field because he's interested in the money, while i entered the field beacuse i'm interested in the occupation,

ofcourse we both care about both things, but if i had to define the main one this is it.

And you're not curious to know what your ranking is in the test scores? That is to say, you are level fifteen in whatever that is, but and in the studies? You don't mean, "hey, I'm the number one of my promotion, b **** s!"?

it won't be easier, but the big difference is that first couple of years the subjects are very broad and probably very boring (they were for me). if you're not in it for the money, the latter years get more specific and hopefully you'll find everything more interesting and challenging (in a good way).

a very shallow example would be: you need to learn to do operations in binary numbers before you understand how and why circuits work.

any tips for starter streamers?

Consistency I'd say. Make sure you set a schedule and stick to it... unlike me :P Playing a popular (enough) game like Hearthstone should be enough to help you grab some attention so that shouldn't be too much of an issue. Also, most viewers would expect you to speak while you play - can be anything really but if you're funny, that would help a lot. One last thing, make sure to set a catchy title for your streams. Something funny or random (or even clickbaity stuff, depending on how far you're willing to go) usually work. SG has a lot more successful streamers around so I'm sure they could give you some more tips :)

so until then please give me/us/all students world wide some godamn motivation.

Well, starting a Twitch channel now wouldn't be such a great idea :P

I've always believed that motivation, especially to study, comes from within so you'll need to want to study first before any of these techniques would work :)

1. I find that listening to inspirational epic music (or any suitable music like the "battle music" from LoL championships) helps a lot to hype myself up prior to studying and even during if you can study with music on (Not at full volume though; Just enough to subconsciously notice it while you study). A f.e.w of my favourites back when I was in school and something more recent :)

Haven't tried this but I heard Lo-Fi stuff might help too :)

2. Set bite-sized study goals with a bit of reward at the end of a study session, that helps a lot too!

Well you are away from your computer with all the games, so that's a plus.
Next, you want to hit the gym and work out all those unnecessary thoughts making it hard for you to study.
For me I didn't go to the gym since I was dirt poor, so I went outside the library and did jumping jacks and cartwheels like a maniac. Don't be like me, or maybe you do ;)
In any case stress builds up no matter what you do, so a little physical exertion helps clear your mind.

So personally I've been streaming around 2.5 years actively over the course of 5 years. So, honestly, there's more advice to give than I can fit here and honestly, there's just not enough time to write a comment that long either :D

I'm not "successful" on Twitch, but I'm an affiliate with around 6 viewers on average on Twitch as a variety streamer, with normal minimums being 3-4 and maximums going at around 12 viewers. Though I've reached 40 viewers through recent raids in the past 2 weeks and also I've independently reached 75 viewers at one point (single stream, of course), with currently being at 10 subs, around 50% to my creator payout that I reached in a month or so. $75+ raised for Australian Red Cross in the last 5 or so days.
So now that I've got some stats for you, you can just decide if I'm worth listening to or not.

With Hearthstone, your high level of play means that you will have an audience. The question is how you can get them. Hearthstone is saturated, but I'm actually surprised that statistically you're in a solid game. So, what does this mean in your current case? Hearthstone's got a load of viewers, but also a lot of channels. The ratio is around 28:1 in terms of channels to viewers, so 28 viewers for a single channel. That's a really good ratio. For context, League has a 7:1, Overwatch has 8:1 and CS:GO is 10:1. So, there are people for you to catch.

How to catch people? Make sure to emphasize your skill. That will be the thing that can catch, but also something that can hold viewers. An extra thing can be also to make sure to promo card openings in your title, if you open any.

You need to have quality behind your channel. No AAA, cinematic stuff. Just get the basics going. Decent microphone, decent audio, solid video quality, but also have a decent description. So don't just throw a PayPal logo asking for donations.

Interact with people, but also talk to yourself since you'll always start at 0 people, meaning they need a reason to stay.

Take advantage of real situations. So, titling your stream appropriately can help. First stream? Make sure you mention it. People love to see first streams. Same goes for first playthroughs of games or whatever else like that. Make sure you get eyeballs on yourself. One of the biggest mistakes I made was writing relatively random titles. Wittiness isn't the thing you should aim for. Instead, be informative with your title.

But like these are the most shallow things, I'd say. Like, feel free to add me, ask me whatever. If I can help ya further, I gladly will. Hit me up with the channel name too. Not too interested in Hearthstone, but I'm always interested in personalities :)
