Even a milisecond of lag on a stream and you can miss pivotal moments. Its must less impacting than a game like COD or Halo. The other problem with tetris is that 99% of the population think they know tetris, think they are good at tetris and in reality know fuck all. For instance I would wager that most people on this forum (who are generally gamers) would still think that a tetris is the highest scoring/most powerful move in tetris. It's a legacy hard to shake as so many people have only played it on the O GB. It is very very heavy on acronyms and terminology. There are other games which have lots like Street Fighter but somehow people have trended more with SF over the years than they have with Tetris. I'm not saying its impossible, just very very hard to implement. Your points about Game B etc make it watchable as its slowed down but anything in TF or faster is hard to follow.

Starcraft should not work as you cannot view everything at once, but the commentary is so good that it makes it work.
