That isn't even the full list of streamers; i found out yesterday personally that there are WAAAAY more streamers participating; those names listed are just the Leaders and a couple more notable names.
Either way, the stream was going okay until the Siege section.... there were some major technical malfunctions and they had to cancel yesterdays Siege event because the client build they were using kept crashing right when all the attacking players began converging on the castle.
Supposedly there is this 15 minute 'buffer' window that all Siege participants go into to essentially prepare for the fight whether you are on the Attacking Alliance or Defending Alliance.
It appears that Amazon modified this game client build so that the 15 minute buffer window would be skipped to save time during the event......and so.... well, that is the current theory on why the game kept crashing during this portion. Some thought it was just because it was Steam - Steam, Tuesdays, Tuesday steam maintenance... you get the jest.
But it kept happening over and over, at a couple points even the Amazon twitch feed was going down, that is when folks began speculating if this was actually a DDoS attack on Amazon's servers, though nothing like that from what i could find confirms it, it was just a thought that passed a lot of minds yesterday - considering both Rockstar(GTA Online servers/RS Social) and Final Fantasy XIV have been dealing with these DDoS attacks this month.
Today's 2nd day event is still supposed to happen from what they said, and they did keep the Amazon stream up and running yesterday to let people finish getting their drops... hopefully today we get some actual clarification on what happened.
