Hello everyone! So I recently got the idea of streaming League of Legends on twitch with OBS. It seems like it could be a lot of fun but the problem is I'm not sure if I have the internet for it. I really do not have the first clue about upload and download speeds and what is good for streaming, so I was hoping to post my speeds and get some feedback to see if I could handle a stream with my internet.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks!

Yep, you have the bandwidth. Streaming to Twitch will only use about 2mbps upstream. Exceeding that isn't a good idea, as it will limit how many people can watch your stream smoothly.

720p@30fps, 2000kbps, x264 Veryfast. <- "Golden point" for non-partnered Twitch streamers.

I'd also say that League may not be the best game to start streaming with... it's exceptionally saturated, with literally thousands of zero-viewer streams at any given moment. It's a hard nut to crack. By all means, play what you enjoy; just realize that the likelihood of attracting viewership is near-zero, even as a Diamond/Challenger player, or the top ranked for your favorite champ, unless they're the current Riot flavor of the month.
