Go Congress broadcasts reaching new audience heights

The E-Journal’s US Go Congress broadcast coverage is achieving unprecedented audience levels this year, thanks to Twitch.tv, which hosted their first official "Twitch Plays Go" event three months ago. All Go Congress broadcasts this week are being featured on the Twitch front page, and Saturday's Pandanet City League final stream saw a total of more than 2,000 viewers, who witnessed an exciting 300+ move battle with a half-point finish.

The EJ broadcast crew includes Stephen Hu, Nathan Epstein and Joel Cahalan, along with commentators (see below). Live broadcasts of pro commentaries and interviews can be found on the official AGA Twitch channel, and abridged version of the recordings are posted daily in the 2018 US Go Congress YouTube playlist, which includes:
