In many instances, the audience can play an important role in the game at hand.\u00a0 The cheering crowd at a sports arena, the coaches on the sideline of a boxing match, the audience at a game show, etc. \u2013 all of these examples show a distinct and momentous relationship between the spectator(s) and player. \u00a0But, in my daily life, there\u2019s one player-audience relationship that sticks out to me most prominently and interestingly.<\/p>\n

Imaqtpie (a popular Twitch streamer and YouTuber for League of Legends<\/em>) and his video editor, Sequence, are a perfect example of this relationship between the player and spectator(s).\u00a0 Essentially, Imaqtpie only plays the game.\u00a0 He spends his gaming time live-streaming on Twitch, just him, his natural commentary, and the gameplay itself.\u00a0 He does not, however, create any of his YouTube videos himself.\u00a0 Instead, Sequence does.\u00a0 Sequence, as a member of Imaqtpie\u2019s audience, goes through all of the day\u2019s live-stream footage and compiles the best parts into a ten-minute (approx.) video that flows almost as if it were happening real-time.\u00a0 He edits the video with his own appreciation and knowledge of Imaqtpie\u2019s gameplay and style, creating content of his own in turn, full of jokes, sound effects, and overall feel characteristic of Sequence.\u00a0 These YouTube videos are quite different than Imaqtpie\u2019s live-streams on Twitch despite the gameplay being the same.\u00a0 And this magic comes to fruition each time because of the interplay and understanding between Imaqtpie and Sequence \u2013 the player and the spectator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
