you could use wowza. but there is not much less delay to be honest.

At the moment, just by using OBS you'll be getting 3-ish seconds of delay due to the way OBS buffers things. How "huge" of a delay are you talking about on Twitch? In general, Twitch delay is not more than a few seconds, either.

its about 10sec.

Oh, this is why i've decided to run my own server, thought its the server fault. I'm getting 3-4 seconds with some local server and 8-10 with twitch. Is it still actual issue?

Twitch will still cause a delay, yes. It will probably be bigger than your local server delay depending on server distance and load.

Yep, i know that, but what if we have a perfect case? Will there still be a delay caused by OBS?

OBS has removed almost all client side buffering. Delay caused by OBS is around 1 second or so in my experience.
