Matthew, did 'Funny Animals Shower Curtain, Funny Dinosaur and Cat in Japanese Kanagawa Waves on Farmhouse Rustic Wooden Board Shower Curtain for Bathroom, Fabric Shower Curtain 12PCS Hooks, 69X70IN' meet your expectations? Review it on Amazon
They did, though I guess it counts more for a final boss vs a boss early in the list. Anyhow as sponsors are involved the last thing they want to do is lose their income revenue from all of those, even if they lose they'll generate a lot of viewership. If Echo wins without streaming then they lose that entire pie, I wouldn't be surprised if sponsors contact them to tell them to stream.
Stopping the stream after their raid is done just to test tactic on the next boss to provide better content to the viewers on the next day is not the exact same thing. The problem was that the boss was the joke and just died while they were testing tactic. If you are having trouble believing that check the time between Limit's kills and you will notice ~1h differance. Echo just stopped before peak hours during which their streams are peaking while they have huge advantage over Limit currently which is a douche move.
Feel free to google "Red Bull Method drama" and get an idea of how their sponsorships worked (or... did not work). Method was on the rise as an organization and should get a huge amount of credit for helping the scene move towards this kind of streaming, but at the end of the day the sponsorships they had are nothing compared to a huge organization like Complexity.
It wasn't even a context thing, it was the standard thing every racing guild does. If they get to a new boss at the end of the raid time they pull it a few times for timers, test a strategy, etc really quick so they can theorycraft before the next raid. The problem was that council was a pushover boss and just died which they didn't expect to happen.
Method's Eternal Palace World First kill of Queen Azshara has 564k views on YouTube after being available for more than a year. Max currently has over 50k people watching an empty chair on his stream in this exact moment, while they take a lunch break... If you're not familiar with the typical ratios of concurrent viewers versus total unique views, it's very lopsided and this stream is infinitely more popular even with literally nothing happening right now. Twitch is hugely popular for a reason, don't be that guy.
Here's some more stats: https://twitchtracker.com/limit_maximum -- 3.3 million hours watched, do you really think that's not more valuable to sponsors than a single YouTube video?

That's so wrong it's hilarious. Limit's N'zoth video still to this day only has 300k views and that's an end expansion boss kill. The world first videos are absolutely nothing to the weeks of constant advertising to thousands upon thousands of people for 16 to 20 hours a day.
So they probably won't be streaming it then since it's likely this will come down to the wire.

Limit has been streaming sire progress all morning. They just took a break for lunch. Unless you mean the sub 1 hour kill of council where including trash they likely pulled maybe 3 times and it just happened to die because they picked the right order.
If personal loot could be traded regardless of ilvl in that slot you wouldn't see that happen. You would simple see more guild splits just like they did the first week.

Jokerd is actually getting pretty darn good views now that he is in pieces.
The Twitch crowd isn’t what Corsair and whatnot need to reach anymore. That market is already cornered by the gaming brands.
It is also pretty much the same consecutive people that are watching the streams. Even if it’s 50k people.
The audience a gaming brand need to reach to widen their brand are those who still use old HP keyboards. Those are more inclined to watch a video shared on the wow Twitter than a livestream
