Because riot uses it as a platform for season championships, links to it directly from it's homepage and game client. It's actually a big deal who wins the LoL finals.

I'm positive that only Sc2 and fighting games are even remotely watchable to non-players.

Diablo might get in there if casuals can understand what's going on.

Shooters and WoW have zero spectator appeal, and LoL is in the same league but has a massive and very casual playerbase so a huge tourney here and there might get some viewers (those numbers are most probably broken, though).


sc2 is like watching chess games though


if chess were ctrl 1 and then 1a. SC2 isn't nearly nailbiting or exciting as an esport. you dont go "OMG LOOK AT THE INSANE CONTROL ON THAT COLLOSUS!" or" LOOK AT THE ULTRA BLING ARMY GO! HE HAS NO CHANCE AT VICTORY NOW!." Its just like there isnt a difference between the semipros and the pros because the game closed that gap with all the mechanics built into it, however, the single biggest thing prevent from sc2 from becoming a major esport is unit clumping. fights last too small and some units are just way too cost efficient in their clumps. Who has a bigger clump of crap. Thats who will win. ok im bored.


what are you doing in this forum ?

Wait i just want to make sure you all understand that you have to click on the stream and watch it. I mean when they have 180k viewers throughout the entire game then the viewers are legit.... no one is asking the viewer to stay and watch...... I am confused by all the hate going towards league of legends lol. (no pun intended).

Another game getting views aside from SC2, this obviously can't happen, is a fluke and is bad for E-sports.

There is no stream embedded in the client, it's advertised with a video box which is just a url to this site: http://season-one-championship.na.leagueoflegends.com/ and pando media booster is only used for the installation, not in the game itself (afaik, I have it uninstalled ever since I installed the game and have had no issues running it).

I think this huge number of viewer from LOL come from lulzsec who try to crash the stream with new type of ddos attack ^^ (joke)

More seriously they have say this some week ago

"It appears that LulzSec has taken down the server for MMORPG Heroes of Newerth (a game very similar to World of Warcraft). The group mocks that Defense of the Ancients ("DotA") custom scenario for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos "is better."

Blizzard should really link streams on the main page on bnet... i know a LOT of people that only know about eSports because of those types of news on WC3

While I am kinda ticked off that Sc2 is not dominating in viewership(sorry but no way is the numbers -that- far off) at the moment I am watching both so who knows though I am kinda hoping this silences alot of people's thoughts on that only sc2 can get big numbers.

ESPORTS is for everyone, and while you can debate how balanced and perfect a game like LoL is for competitive scene it's obviously got a fanbase and some fairly good players. I don't mind sharing I love both games and hope they both do well and from the looks of it, they are.

What kind of comment is that. This isn't high school. We are all nerd/geeks here, do you really think anyone cares if sc2 is cooler than what ever is on the xbox or pc or whatever?

No reason to call lie to people, its a well known fact Riot uses pando media booster.

LoL'ers need to Chill
LoL stream: ~190k viewers. SC2 stream: ~85k viewers. Really Blizzard?

You claim something and never posted any source or proof that Riot artifically increases stream views, yet you call people out for calling you a liar?

/trollmath on
What we have :
Lol 5v5 games 180+-k people "watching?"
Sc2 1v1 games near 80+-k people.

180k \ 10p = 18k\1p
80k \ 2p = 40k \1p

Sc2 players and streams are x2+ times more effective than Lol.
/trollmath off

+ There's fact -Riot use very aggressive style of game promotion (wcg sponsorship etc.) so not big surprise, that they put links everywhere - i think in blizzcon will be something equal to this.

So, with the title, are you asking why it seems like other games are becoming more viable ESPORTS than SC2, or was the title just what made sense to you because ti's confusing me

From what I've seen, LoL'ers have just stated facts.

Those "hating" on LoL need to chill, not the other way around.
