Not sure if this can be done, but it would be awesome if you could Spectate a game that has already started, as opposed to the way it is right now, where you have to join a game before it starts in order to Spectate it.

I had such an idea too. Would be nice if this is possible.

Hard to develop, maybe in some years.

The game is progressively synchronized between all clients so that there is no possibility to do a "full update" for someone who's joining the game later. This actually allows the server to run a large amount of games at once which wouldn't be possible otherwise. However, I could think of an option to attach to the replay of a game later on, so that someone could view the game as a replay with some delay, maybe catching up to the current state in double speed.
That would require a PRO account, though. Interested?

Might be of some use later on... would have to think about it...
