1. Assuming cbmm is in play it would always favor the people in closest proximity to the streamer to have a countdown. Hence, I think it's a stupid concept and would argue that the other streamers have done it the wrong way. 2. One would think that a "sponsored" person would endorse said company in whatever avenue they have at their disposal. These are nowhere to be found in Goth's stream or on his social media pages. Nor was the stream in question labeled as "sponsored" - the stream actually stated that he would play Zelda afterwards.
