Netizens also showed interest in "Ryu Ji-hye" and "Yellow".

I dont get what makes you think that this news is as good as it sounds?

Where is the information which proves that BW is doing great? There is no comparison to last year's viewerships nor are there any absolute numbers.

This shouldnt be regarded as a pessimistic comment, I really just dont get it.


Judging from German, your sport is probably soccer or shall I say, football. Are you in high school? If you are, then imagine 2 out of 10 kids in your class talking about Brood War, yeah....


No im not in high school anymore lol, 2 out of 10 kids watching the by far most important match would be a terrible rating for German soccer...so is this all? You judge the state of BW in Korea on this single information?

I mean its a nice fact but I still dont get where the point is which makes people go like "omg BW is still doing great in Korea". So maybe I missed the point in the rest of the news, do the percentage allow any speculation on how many viewers the finals had?

I remember an old news which said that OGN had a market share of about 3% in 2005 and 1,8% in 2008 over an annual period so 1,77% for this event doesnt seem too high or am I mixing up?

You have to look at it for what it is. As mainstream as BW is all eSports is niche. I am going to pull some comparative figures out of my ass now but i don't think i'd be too far off. 2 out of 10 kids watching BW is enormous compared to the..... 1 out of 10000 kids in US watching SC2?

This also doesn't count people who watched online or as a group. This article is assuming that 1 TV=1 Person also

With the current trend all over the world. More people are tuning in to things online via a stream. So lets take the % as amazing as likely many many many more people were watching online.

How do you know that it assumes 1 person/tv? Every ratings calculation system that I know of doesn't work like that. And also the 2 of 10 kids number is most likely also 2 of 10 kids who were watching tv at the time of the finals, not overall.

No traceable amount. The best estimations you can get were by seeing the stream viewers and youtube views for non-chinese foreign interest. Kespa has not shown any intent in extending overseas.

NICE! Long Live Broodwar!! This makes me very happy after seeing so much bad news in the bw forum t.t , I guess this means Broodwar still blows SC2 out of the water in terms of viewers? ^^

The original article clearly states that 2 out of 10 Korean high school males in the entire country watched the final set. How many times do I have to reclarify this?

considering they were planning on having the finals in china, there is probably a sizable viewership not included in the television statistics or the TL stream.

....and this is why SC2 will never ever top BW. No one in Korea cares about SC2 - BW forever.

Wow great news! I do hope BW will live longer... IMO the only way to make eSports viable is to have a single game lasting for many years like...

To be fair (I'm assuming) most of the foreigners watched from the TL features streams, and those got like 2000 at most so it doesn't really matter (onpaper).

"achieving a max viewership ratio of 2.514% (21% of males aged 16-19). In other words, 2 out of every 10 male Korean high school students watched the last set of the Proleague final."

Oh I'm sorry, I can see how 4000 extra eyes can make a notable difference in comparison to Korean viewership.
