Is Anyone Using Periscope at TI?

I see the updates on twitter and instagram I was just wondering if Valve or any of the pros are using Periscope. Cyborgmatt has used it in the past I know.

Since TI has left BHall and moved to Key I feel like the experience is less personal and more spread out. I know I've heard it from people there and even just watching it online. I hope and wish periscope can bridge that gap this year.

The app's trailer made me think of Netflix's sense8. Which is great.

Yeah I'd like to see this too. Everyone talking about Snapchat. But I think this one will be better.

Cyborgmatt could get away with it because I bet they'll have private wifi. But the network was rather bad in general in the arena with a bunch of nerds on their phones trying to watch streams etc.

Nerd joke aside, honestly the bandwidth would be shit for periscope.

My understanding is that it only uploads and streams at 480p, at the highest, so a mobile connection could be stable. That is if data isn't an issue.
