Afreeca numbers seem to be 30,000 simultaneous viewers and 200,000 cumulative viewers (which counts the total number of users who visited Sonic's channel). We can probably add the numbers for any pro gamer who was streaming at that time since they were all watching Sonic's stream with their fans. This doesn't count the OGN TV viewership or viewers on other platforms. An interesting thing I read in the news: OGN said that while it is mostly sure that it can keep StarLeague on OGN as long as the sponsorship money keeps flowing, it couldn't say that with 100% certainty because broadcasting BW is a "sensitive issue" with regards to their "business relationship with Blizzard." I hope they'll work things out in advance so that this doesn't become a problem. | ||

Sueing KeSPA for broodwar was probably the worst thing blizzard could have done. Not only did they damage the BW scene they also put off some people from transitioning into SCII. | ||
