If I had to be honest:
Stream is terrible. 720p is unwatchable since it get's lagged constatly (image freezing) and it doesn't even look like 720p. Again it's not just me since I usually watch 1080p streams without major problems (while downloading shit via torrent at high speeds, meaning 3MB/s). Then again on low quality you can barely see combo count.
Hitsound spam is annoying, though peppy is already working on this so I guess this is ok.
Commentators are clueless about what they're talking about. Doing some research about maps being played and each player overall performances would be a good idea. Getting comments late/early I don't even know what's the problem is something you can fix, I've found myself watching streams where I myself was talking and everything came up late. Meaning there was like a 2 minutes delay@video AND audio (Skype conversation). Anyways commentators should study each map, know what parts player are likely to miss on, do a little research about each player (I don't really know many but sometimes I'm watching and it's really easy to tell who's gonna do well or bad because of how they play).
And the 15 minutes rule is, indeed, useful, but there is a priorities problem. You can show up 20 minutes late, but then again you gotta join the game 15 minutes earlier than the time you arranged. Having to wait 15 minutes before the match w/o playing can be troublesome since your hands "go cold". I'd change that time gap to 5 minutes (unless your cat is on fire or you're playing Stream Compilation you shouldn't have any problem with this) and even let the player play 2 or even 3 warm up maps just in case.
Only good thing I can say about this is the stream is almost always online, which is good, and most matches are being played w/o much trouble, but really there is A LOT to improve, rather than the 15 minutes thing. Like really I would love to know why you need the players to be there. If you want the initial line-up you can get that information via PM. You can set up the stream while players are just screwing around, etc.
