Dont want or need to show my face, just voice to go with my real time thought process, and the game screen. Like is there any software I'd need, or do I just click a few things from twitch and it does the rest? I dont know. I only ever recorded game replays through some software that's been scrubbed from the internet by now.

- a mic for my audio input or a headset with good mic.
- uhm....???

There has to be more I need. What kind of internet speed is mandatory? I've got 20mbps dsl right now and it's all I have in my neighborhood.

OBS Stream Labs is free to use and fairly easy to set up. It's what I use and there are lots of resources online. There are also some good resources for the minimum requirements to stream, which I'll let you find through Google since I'm not very tech savvy and don't want to steer you wrong.

I have used OBS a few times for Arena, but for MTGO you have to do a screen capture. I highly recommend using 2 screens for that reason. Other than that it is pretty easy to do.

Hearing I'm going to have issues because my upload speed is 1mbps. How accurate is this?

So I tested mine, I have what my internet provider deems "basic" and I have 41.9 Mbps and had no issues. Not sure where the line is, but 1 Mbps does seem kinda low. I know a few years ago I had around 15ish and I did fine. Sorry that wasn't very helpful.

My upload averages around 0.8 upload and 17 download. At least I hadn't bought any equipment yet. No money lost.

I have 5.8 for upload and haven't had issues. You should still try it out on a few test streams via OBS. MTGO doesn't take much processing and if you want i'm always down to watch and see how its uploadiing and looking on a watchers side.
