Get VODs for your Team’s Esports Scrim

and shoutcasters get practice

These are the instructions for teams who want their scrims recorded. If you want practice casting, check out the instructions here.

Playing scrims is necessary for your team to compete at its highest potential. However having a VOD review makes that learning even more effective for teams. For broadcasters, there are not many places to practice casting and observing high quality play. At Broadcast.gg we are matching scrims to amateur casters to help everyone reach their improvement goals.

Step 1: Arrange your scrim

If you’re reading this, you already probably know where to look to find scrims for your team. If not, check out these discords below

Step 2: Join our Discord

We used to have a form, but now we arrange it by hand in our discord. Join up, add the COMPETITOR role, and join our #competitor-chat and #competitor-schedule discussion. Add your schedule to #competitor-schedule on Saturday of the week prior to your scrims!

Step 3: Play Your Scrim

If a caster is available, you will be contacted via Discord to confirm the scrim timing and details of your form if necessary. After this confirmation the caster will friend request the given captain’s Battle.net username.

Step 4: Review your VOD

If the caster is able, they will stream the games to either their own personal channel or the Broadcast.gg Twitch channel. Otherwise the game will be recorded and uploaded later. Make sure to review the VOD within 2 weeks of the scrim night as most videos on Twitch in “past broadcasts” are deleted after that time. If you need to download the video, you may be able to make arrangements with the caster, or just use a 3rd party Twitch video downloader.

Understand that the casters are practicing too — some of the calls they make may be completely wrong, though we hope the calls go more like below. Feedback is always appreciated!
