A few days ago, friends Sneak and Blak, with myself on camera, casted an stv of Mixup vs. LiT from the recent lan. We're all new to casting, so we were looking for some feedback from people with more experience.

Some things I know about already:
-My internet was pretty shitty at the time of recording this, which is why mumble sometimes sounded glitchy.
-I forgot to disable my dot hud crosshair beforehand.
I guess I'll throw out some specific points I/we might need improvement on:
-My camerawork? I've been playing 6s for a couple years so I feel somewhat confident with where to put the camera when. I also tried to emulate tftv's casts from what I've noticed, but what could I improve on?
-Stream quality? I have pretty good hardware, but unfortunately my upload is not as high as I'd like. Is there anything I could do to improve the quality here? For specifics, I stream at 3000kb/s max bitrate, and 1920x1080 at 32fps. I don't really have the option to improve my upload at the moment.
-Any tips on avoiding talking over each other? I wasn't the one talking so I don't have much to contribute to this, but I did notice sneak and blak talked over each other plenty of times. Would it be good to have someone maybe be a sort-of priority speaker?
-Rules for referring to players? Squid and alfa both aliased in that match for instance, would it be better to say their alias or their actual name?
All I could really think of off the top of my head, but feel free to mention anything else you see problems with.
