I’d say the minimap isn’t really that usefull, you can barely pay attention to it, and you can already see players through walls

Map Score – must have
Previous Map Score(s) – must have
Kritz / Medigun being used – good to have if casters don’t talk about it
Numerical Uber Advantage – must have
Overall Team Health – I personally never really pay attention to it
Individual Player Health (above heads) – makes everything look kind of messy imo
Individual Player Names (below) – not really necessary
Casters Names Overlay – not needed, during the match, but before and after it’s good. could aalso just put it in the stream title
Casting Org Logo Overlay – unnecessary
Team Name Overlay – just put it in the stream title
Fixture Overlay – not needed
Player Outlines – must have
Projectile Outlines – not needed
Fixed Bird’s Eye Views (specific pre-determined views) – haven’t noticed that, so I don’t know
Fixed Player Aliases – nice to have
Custom Models/Textures for Teams/Sponsors – not needed
Minimap/2DRadar – not needed

Map Score Yes, so people won’t spam WHAT’S THE SCORE?
Previous Map Score(s) Same as above, but it should be smaller
Kritz / Medigun being used Nah, usually casters pay attention to Ubers/Kritz
Numerical Uber Advantage Nah
Overall Team Health Nope
Individual Player Health (above heads) I would actually prefer it to be Numeric, instead of a bar
Individual Player Names (below) but Above > Below
Casters Names Overlay Only during pre/after game, there’s also twitch title for that
Casting Org Logo Overlay Same as above, pre/after game
Team Name Overlay I would prefer it to be combined with Map score, like: Team name – Map Score – Team Name – Map Score, like in older Casts
Fixture Overlay Yes
Player Outlines Yes
Projectile Outlines Stickies, Rockets and Pipes are quite noticeable OR have projectiles leave a small team colored trail
Fixed Bird’s Eye Views (specific pre-determined views) Yes, for quick switching between Flanks and Chokes and all areas
Fixed Player Aliases Well players must use their ETF2L nicknames in Prem, but if someone is planning to stream games below Prem, sure
Custom Models/Textures for Teams/Sponsors Yes
Minimap/2DRadar Nope

Map Score: Yes, in the map fixture overlay (updated as soon as possible)
Previous Map Score(s): Yes, in the map fixture overlay
Kritz / Medigun being used: Yes
Numerical Uber Advantage: Yes
Overall Team Health: Where it would be?: If you can find a suitable spot, then yes
Individual Player Health (above heads):/b] No, I would imagine there would be too many numbers everywhere
Individual Player Names (below): Same as latter, there would be too many letters flowing around I think.
Casters Names Overlay: If they would activate like in Mumble, it could be cool I guess
Casting Org Logo Overlay: It’s not like there a lot of other casting orgs there. Your unique overlay should be recognizable enough.
Team Name Overlay: It should be on the Stream Name
Fixture Overlay: This would be the maps overlay, right? Then yes.
Player Outlines Yes, this is mandatory-
Projectile Outlines: I don’t know about this, I feel like there would be too many red and blue lasers everywhere.
Fixed Bird’s Eye Views (specific pre-determined views): If you are able to do them, then sure. Not too many though (maybe one per point?)
Fixed Player Aliases: I would assume people put their right nicks anyway in casted matches (in prem there is a rule for this).
Custom Models/Textures for Teams/Sponsors: If it’s subtle like in the Yoyotech frag video, then why not.
Minimap/2DRadar: I would be curious where it would be placed and what it would look like. Maybe boomeh can tell us… Show a picture and I can consider it more.

Kinda unrelated, but it would be cool if there were replays or something. So if there was a huge airshot or something like that, casters could go back to that highlight during a stalemate for example. I barely see that in TF2 streams anymore.

That was being done at i52 I think?

+Stream Overlays must be slick, clean and informative(see tftv), every element must serve a purpose, otherwise it would look cluttered(see early vtv overlays)
+Streamers should have each individual player assigned to separate buttons so that one does not need to m1 through 4-6 of other players cams to find the one casters are talking about
