Dota 2 cybersportsman and streamer Anton `dyrachyo` Shkredov commented on Twitch`s decision to reduce the maximum quality of broadcasts available in Russia to 720p.
Honestly, I`m not completely in the loop, and it`s hard to give a detailed answer, but reducing the quality is nonsense.
On June 23, Twitch users from Russia observed a decrease in the available video quality options. The standard 1080p resolution was no longer an option, with only 720p remaining selectable. When addressing this change, platform representatives stated that the maximum stream quality in Russia was lowered for economic reasons.
