EPTSpecifically right at this moment there does seem to be a ton of saturation, but I think this is actually somewhat of an anomaly of scheduling(especially since TI4 is a month earlier, which basically condensed the DotA summer). Sure there are usually multiple events going on(is that bad? I mean there are multiple regions to cater to, multiple events have to be running), but this stretch right now is pretty unique.

Even fanatics don't care that they could be watching other leagues/teams, even if their skill level higher than their own. This whole content oversaturation is unique to ESPORTS, even though sports have as much quality content (but a bit more stacked on weekends and wednesdays). Even professionals are not expected to know everything about leagues other than the ones they cover. There's plenty of high level football leagues in Europe and you would have to be mad to follow them all. If you only cared about watching Navi, C9 or DK, you wouldn't be having the same problem. That's not a bad thing, because noone caring about Relax vs Next.Kz would be a bigger problem. Overall, people just wanting to watch good games is probally better than the alternative. this just isnt true? | ||

Most people don't watch more than 1 game a weekend. People that do, maybe watch a couple other good games. Noone tries to watch every game. It's far more about following your favorite team than just anything that's on. | ||

no one is really going to watch sunderland cardiff or something unless they support those teams or it will affect their team, there will likely be other games to watch whilst that match is on, just like people in dota arent going to watch Nyx Ehug just because its there, theyll look for teams they want to watch. | ||

Are you talking just about the Premier League? Because there are often other top rated tournaments going on. Look at a random sunday for example: http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/match/index.html?type=fixtures You can easily watch 3 or 4 games a day with decent teams on weeked, if you wanted to. | ||

If people prioritized great games over everything else, Live Viewership would be shit and everyone would just go to VoDs. Because obviously you don't know a game is great until it's happened. But that's not what happens, so obviously what you believe means absolutely nothing. More tournaments at once = more games that people don't watch. The numbers don't lie. | ||
