Some 200,000 people gathered in Chamsil Baseball Stadium to see one of the final matches last year. And with the growing success and popularity of these tournaments, more large companies are sponsoring game leagues or pro-gaming teams and more youngsters dream of becoming a pro gamer when they grow up." http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/culture/200405/kt2004052417533611690.htm | ||

I think a fairly optimistic estimate was 20.000 people, and even such a relatively small number looked like a damn huge crowd. Though watching finals and knowing there's a huge 100.000 crowd in there, cheering, would be a revelation in itself, I don't think such a number is a reasonable expectation. Besides, where are the finals being held anyway? they said that the crowd there was estimated 100-130,000 people, according to uzoo and eforce probably the real number was less, but i doubt it's as low as 20,000, where did you get that number from? source? | ||

Makes sense I guess since your really watching it on tv. I'm guessing their only revenue is through exposure? | ||

the 20,000 count comes from estimating how many seats were in one "block" of the crowd section, then multiplying by the number of chair "blocks" | ||

Put it this way, 1k kids fit into the tiny gym at my school. Each of those blocks of people looks about the same size. Count the blocks, -20% for gaps, and you still have over 100k. | ||

I'd say it's about 50K. I don't think using pics of stadiums is a good idea because the way they're designed makes it looks much more crowded since you can see most ppl in a shorter distance. Here is a pic of a demonstration with 100,000 ppl. ![[image loading]](http://news.joins.com/component/htmlphoto_mmdata/200410/htm_2004100422275290009040-001.JPG) (btw it looks like SKoreans do love US a lot ) | ||

edit: in the nighttime picture there are at least 17 blocks, giving at least 6500 people. While 20,000 is somewhat possible (especially for the one held in a stadium), estimates of 100k or higher are probably either a result of miscommunication or deliberate propaganda/marketing. It doesn't really matter though, even just getting thousands of spectators is a hell of a lot for a merely 10 year old game that doesn't lose much, if anything, when watched on TV when compared to normal sports (after all, at a live SC game you're basically just watching the TV broadcast on a huge screen anyway). | ||

Wouldn't it be absolutely idiotic of the marketer to inflate the number x5 times more than it is? Such deliberate fix would most likely be denounced as "unlikely" by these reputable source (the article says 200 000.. Would be quite idiotic to inflate the number x10 or x30 times than it was). I have no idea what the real number is but it seems more than 20 000 from my view. The "Bell Center" here in Montreal has a capacity of 21 000 people (which I went to a few times) and the arena itself is not all that big. (In fact, it looks just slighter bigger than the NaDa vs Anytime OSL final) | ||

I don't think that's a hundred thousand. A hundred thousand fills central park! (I'm awfully terrible at numerical estimates, so please excuse my disbelief) | ||

That's 12x30x25=9000. Bystanders are another few thousand, let's say (again, being very generous). That adds up to about 12 thousand. ![[image loading]](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/Doctorasul/1100539006.jpg) If I'm not mistaken, this is the same location, same number of parcels, right? This is certanly not a 100k crowd, but much, much lower than that. Edit: I see others beat me to it | ||
