World Championship 2015 - São Paulo, Brazil - July 17-19, 2015

it's not just you, someone please send me a picture of the venue so I can print it and tape it on my computer screen

I literally laughed out loud when I read this. haha Brazil is known for many things: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, producing world class soccer players, formula racecar drivers....unfortunately, IT (Information Technology) isn't very high up on the list I fear.

I hope it's somewhat decent during the 3x3 finals, watching it live would be awesome

Edit: Managed to see Feliks doing 4x4, but the quality was bad so I couldn't see his times lol

Wow, what has happened to Chan Hong Lik? He was an internet sensation a few years ago, and now he seems te be one of the best cubers on Worlds, getting 2.99 avg5 on 2x2, putting him on third place right behind Feliks, for now. He also got a 41 avg on feet. Isn't he still like only 6/7 years old?
 
The connection this very bad indeed. :(

The problem of the live stream is not that we can't see anything, but that cubes (or cubies for that matter) are really small. I can sometimes tell, "oh yeah, that's Feliks", but I can't even tell if he's solving a 4x4 or a 7x7. Essentially, the live stream lets you see the silhouette of everything, which, in cubing, is kind of missing the point.
Maybe you could move the camera closer to one specific timing station and focus on that? That would raise the number of solves visible at a time from zero to one.

Or even two maybe ! This would indeed be a nice improvement, especially if the top competitors are advised to choose the feature table :)
 
Second round of 3BLD, and the live stream has good quality!
You can actually recognise people from their faces, and not just from their hair colour/style haha!

Can't see a thing in regards to what people are doing on the cube, though. Fortunately, you can tell by their reactions if it's a success or not. :)
