I find it funny that just Teamliquid.net's live report thread of the finals had more posts than all the Korean forums had combined, in every thread. | ||

I will say that esports has to be some of the cheapest shows ever produced. The players make so little comparable to TV personalities. The coaches probably make salaryman money. They have the same booth for just about all the matches except for the finals. They don't exactly need much to sustain it's viability. | ||

Now they just need a stable service for foreigners. Could probably make a little money with a reasonably priced premium service. Then again it probably wouldn't be worthwhile. | ||

especially when most 'basic cable' in kyeongkido doesn't have OGN (they have MBCgame instead) Not to mention there are still ALOT of people without cable here PS: The highest rated cable show in Korea last year (excluding news etc) had a nielson scale rating of 5%. | ||

500'000 is not really that much? How many people live in Korea? | ||

About 50 million. About 1% watched the OSL finals. I don't know about thing about TV viewership, except that the world cup finals was watched by 33% of the population of the world. 2 billion people or something. Well it must mean something because it did pick up a shiny new sponsor, Korean Air. The MSL might continue to be sponsored by random mmorpgs. | ||

That's not much. 8000 people attending an OSL finals is probably a new low? Think about it this way. Korea's overall population is about 50 million. 0.5 / 50 = about 1% of the entire population watched the OSL finals. The NBA finals (i think in '06) had a viewership of 13 million. The USA has 300 million people. 13/300 = about 4% of the entire population watched the NBA finals. Now, compare percentages: 1% vs 4%. So, a decade-old computer game battle between two mega nerds attracts about 1/4 of what the NBA finals attracts. I'D SAY THAT'S PRETTY DAMN FREAKING GOOD | ||

Then of course there is the fact that a fair number of people probably get together for the finals. So 500,000 people might well just be 500,000 screens tuned in, while the true number of viewers would be much higher. | ||
