PlayhemTV, the official stream and channel for all things Playhem related. We're committed to providing nothing but the highest level of games and production quality to the eSports scene, and set our standards for excellence just as high when we have 200 viewers as when we have 10,000.
Our open tournament, unlike the rest of our daily tournaments, is not restricted for lower leagues. The games we stream daily are mostly high level masters, grand masters, and pro players from our EU and NA daily tournaments as well as show matches, special events, and other SC2 related content. We put out an average of 8 hours of live stream every single day, 7 days a week. All of our casters are carefully picked and auditioned before ever getting the chance to go on stream, so you can be assured a LAN-quality stream and commentary at every single game.
Caster's expected airing dates will be shown here so you can follow your favorites and know when to tune in! (these may change last minute without notice when the need arises, but we'll try not to!)
Once a week on Sundays, Playhem holds a Best of 7 show match between 2 amazing players from the Starcraft II community, chosen by us based on fan suggestions and current standings/popularity among eSports events. Links to our past show matches will be listed here:

The color mod makes player colors more noticeable so it's easier to tell units apart in close battles such as ling/bane zvz, here is a link to the thread and a sample screenshot comparison: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=216725 Before After
Frodan and Robin are amazing. Coming from a Halo and console/competitive gaming background, I feel a connection to them every time they reference the good ol' days
Great SC2 casters and they both have a ton of knowledge of eSports history

Srsly - What else is there to say^^? [a bunch of synonyms for "awesome"] - So - with that, yeah, I can think of about a million nice things to say - but they all boil down to the same thing:
I LOVE StarCraft, and I LOVE the surrounding community(ies). There are 'okay' streams, good streams, great... etc... and I tend to gravitate toward the ones with the most personable personalities and quality streams. Playhem = those star qualities :D
Usually I'm long-winded with feedback posts, but I'd just be repeating myself here. It's great that there are so many open tournaments - stream looks great and doesn't lag - casters are excellent, and constantly listening to the community and improving -
Keep up the great work, good people of Playhem. <3 what you're doing.

@BrightSide_SC2 <-Fun twitter updates about ...Starcraft community stuff :D
wow, every time I fillow the Dailys I struggle trying to find the bracketts, wheather I watch it on Axslav's stream or on Playhem's stream
I hope this thread gets used everyday from now on to talk about any daily, or showmatch or whatever, so ppl don't get lost between so many Playhem thingies . And I hope this gets updated always too

The thing that i enjoy about playhem and its casters is they way they interact with the community, all the casters communicate with the audience, the barrier that usually exists between the audience and the casters/streamers is gone on playhem.
I like to put up the PlayhemTV stream 10-20 mins before the cast (and after during our periodic post-tournament shenanigans!) to play some music. If you would like to request a song, post it on this thread

PlayhemTV is pretty great stream to watch. Especially the 75$ daily get to see some camio of some great players like EGaxslav and machine. The casters are straightforward, entertaining and create a lot of intensity for these daily tournaments.
Well, nothing different to say... this guys are AWESOME, amazing stream...they have alot of humor, they are committed with what they do and they definitely deserve a greater number of audience!!
that's it, i hope the people continue with the support and GREAT JOB GUYS!

Just a heads up, don't talk about the game or you'll get timed out in their chat.
Keep it up Frodan, remember you from way back at MLG forums.
Not sure which stream you were watching, but "don't disrespect any player" is the rule we uphold above all others in stream chat. Besides spamming / links / disrespect we pretty much never issue time-outs let alone bans. If one of the other moderators in the chat was abusing the ban or time out functions please PM me and let me know what was going on.
I time-out players for making any comments along the lines of "so and so is bad" or "is X bronze league?", but any legitimate criticisms and pointing out mistakes and flaws about the players or casters are never removed by myself or any of the other Playhem staff.
