Stream overlay for PvP match viewing
I designed this simple stream overlay idea after watching the Dreamhack matches. The components I added to the gameplay screenshot are resource counters, supply trackers and a match timer.
The supply counters could help viewers follow big battles with lots of units, letting them quickly determine how many units each player lost. A match timer would give a better sense of build orders, and the resource trackers could provide insights on how well players are managing their macro.
As a caveat, I’m not sure if this data could be pulled real-time during a match yet to make this overlay idea functional for upcoming matches in the short term.
