MBCGame to shut down? - Page 41

Keep any SC2 vs BW comments out of this thread. This is a thread about Brood War and Esports (Tekken Crash, Special Forces, etc) in general. If you discuss what this means for ESPORTS be sensitive about it.

Online streaming technology will still need several years to be become a stable, "complete" product like TV is. There are still a lot of glitches, uncertainties and problems of scale, it's not going to replace TV any time soon.


It already is starting to replace TV in some parts of the world. Look at the SC2 international scene(which is larger than any other e-sport right now), which is thriving without being on TV(except for Anibox in Korea). It definitely is possible for bw to go back to an internet thing, but I think it'd be harder as it's not as popular internationally as some other e-sports that use the internet.


How much have SC2 streams peaked at so far? 100k? That's really fucking small compared to TV viewerships. Could a stream handle 1 million concurrent viewers without acting up? Does anyone even know? Those are the uncertainties I'm talking about.


The royal wedding had millions and millions of viewers and did not stutter even once.

Streaming is ready for mainstream.


By "millions and millions" you mean just above a million? Also that was one event, with absolutely massive resources behind it. That hardly proves streaming is ready for "mainstream" on a large scale.


Oh was that it? I thought it was something like 22 million. Either way. Peer 2 Peer streaming is the future of TV in general I believe. It's good because it means you don't need a football field of transmission equipment to produce something really well.

Then again, having said football field of dishes is always nice.


Don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree that streaming is the future, but my point is that it's not ready to replace TV any time soon. It's not yet consistent or consumer-friendly enough, not by far.

If both MBC and OGN went off air tomorrow, eSports would become a niche market in Korea rather quickly.

Sad that so many BW fans take the time to attack SC2 in a thread that has nothing to do with SC2. Grow up guys.

ah, this is the end of an era

Proleague will have to change format unless a second channel can be found to run it. Hopefully the MBC team can either find a new sponsor or be sponsored by the new MBC music channel...

This sucks, but it's not end of BW. Just the end of two PL matches at a time and dual leagues.
