Some feedback from a Twitch viewer.
-
Stream room. Having both streams in the same room was a fun idea. As Tompa said: it's good to have activity around. I experienced the interference of the two stream as a good thing, it makes both streams feel more connected, instead of two disjoint events. Especially when you could see stream yellow in purple's background.
-
Hosting. A hosting schedule would be a big, big improvement to avoid bad hosting / hosts.
-
Schedule. Cutting of runners during ending credits while they're still wrapping up talking isn't very nice. I get that there is a (tight) schedule to stick to, but it's not very respectful. Tying in with this: I like that idea of having a post-run interview when there is an in-between-runs host section (to kill the time if nothing else).

General. I agree with Joshimuz and Melis about making ESA not too professional. The faffing about and mistakes is what gives an event such as this one its charm. I really, strongly agree on this:
[quote=Joshimuz]I actually enjoy the lack of donation/charity whoring, "professional" hosters, and "donation hype train"ers. This is what makes ESA different to the GDQs. This isn't what ESA should be about. The GDQs are a charity marathon ran by a company (more or less) to raise money for a cause. ESA is a speedrun marathon, by runners for runners, and really represents the community, warts and all, and I love it![\quote]
