Hello guys, I think the title says it all. I can spectate games of friends with out a problem, but for some reason I cant do the same with pro matches. Any theories on this?

What pros are you talking about? You could be watching games from across the world which always seems to be super laggy at least for me.

For example the current ESL tournament.

and one thing I noticed is there is a much higher upload rate when I try to spectate those matches. Usually there is like 5-10KB/s upload rate but when watching these "pro" games, it jumps to 70KB/s. Downrate is normal tho.

Trying messing with rate settings "rate 5000-20000" and stuff in console. Also it requieres more data to get through the client so it takes more bandwitdh.

it is just because of the mmr difference, the higher it is, the more it lags

Perhaps there are more people watching pro-games.
than there are people watching your friends-games.
