Re: AGA Seeking twitch.tv Streamers for Go
What I'd like to see instead of the AGA seeking volunteers to stream games is for the AGA to get some of the American pro players to do some streaming of their games with their thought in real time so we can have some free top level instructions to inspire a higher standard of go for everyone. It seems to me that right now all we see is what AGA and KBA offers to those who win the title but I'm not really sure what the titleholders actually bring back to the community other than their individual accomplishments.

I think this more than anything would help attract more players. Sure live streaming some games on twitch would do good but some folks won't take the plunge into Go without watching someone (on a pro level) explain things.
I think the Pro's in the Asian countries are far more accessible. Also it seems that the pro organization as whole in those countries does more to promote the game. In this online world there should not be a reason why we don't have the same access or quality.
Something to think about.
