Yeah, that's probably not happening. Pretty neat on the side of Riot though, if only S2 could have had as much success, quite enjoyed watching that game before. | ||

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). Shooters? I'm sure that CS1.6 still racks in over 20,000 views.. and + they have hltv access which allows them to become 'spectators' in the game with a 90 second delay | ||

SC2 revitalized the RTS scene, I'm hoping someone comes up with a game to revitalize the fps scene because cs is dying and quake is unfortunately small =( | ||

On eSports, LoL is not a worthy eSport. The only thing it has going for it is its popularity. Its poorly designed and imbalanced. Its a casual, free to play game, and thus it is extremely popular. Watching LoL is the most boring experience ever. | ||

They do make it look like you can watch the stream in-game, though, which then prompts you to click the play button, which then takes you to the stream webpage, thus adding a viewer.  But yeah not embedded, at least. | ||

Also, im not sure about this, but some people say that everyone who logs onto LoL will get the stream. edit: im pretty sure people logging in to LoL will automatically connect to the stream.Riot games uses 'Pando Media Booster' messing with the viewer count. End of the thread imo This would explain the crazy number. I dont think there actually were 115 k viewers. | ||
