All stats are relative to the time of the broadcast of the finals between Flash and Movie.

- #1 watched show
- 1.7% viewership rate for males of age group 13 to 29 (according to AGB Nielson Media Research)
- Viewers on PotPlayer: 40,057
- Viewers on official OGN server: 23,403
      - Led to server crashes
- Total # of viewers: 525,000
- Approx. 8000 people attended the event live
- Among the 8000, approx 3000 people had to be moved elsewhere as there was insufficient space in the Olympic Hall, where the event was held
      - As a result, the event was delayed by 10 minutes
- On the Korean search engines, the most searched terms were 'Lee Young Ho', 'OSL Finals', 'OnGameNet' and other related terms
- On Korean forums, approximately 3800 posts were made during the games

With these statistics, OGN has promised to continue upgrading their services and thanked all e-sports fans for their continued support and interest.

Half a million? Wow. That actually seems kind of low. Are around 49 million people in South Korea (I believe?).

Either way, the OSL is awesome and it wasnt even that much of a hyped event. ESPORTS

That is awesome, MSL probably got the same amount of forum posts but mostly flames and threats :D.

Didn't MBC say that there are 20 million e-sport fans? O.o

I suppose those are good numbers? (It should be expected of a sport final after all, unless there is another sport final competing)

I am pretty curious about the MBC stats. I think it may actually be higher because it was Jaedong v.s. Flash. The forum post count should DEFINITELY be higher, because of the flaming and death threats. :O

The viewership is relatively low to be honest. I actually prefer MSL commentary and excitement over the epicness of the OSL, but ZvZ finals and shitty work by MBC has to screw it over.

500k viewers watching a 10 year old computer game being played is in no way "bad".

Remember that figure is only for live. Many people might have things to attend to so they couldn't watch the game(Esp. north american fans)
