They need to get a lot of viewers, stream and lot of hours and run a lot of commercials to make it really significant. Isn't like $.02 per 1000 viewers per commercial?



Err.. more like 1 dollar per 1000 viewers, per commercial.



wow that's still not that much, for the top streams, ie essentially only whitera these days that's 15$/hr

When someone streams, it will only be ladder. No one would stream actual practice matches. That's why Puzzle would all-in with either 4gate or 3gate void almost every time. Watching every single thing someone is doing gives a ton of insight into what makes the player tick. If someone from code S was streaming, their upcoming opponent would be able to derive a huge amount of information about how they play. Micro tendencies, build preference, strengths and weaknesses regarding drops/harassment. Even just a matter of general technique, such as how to drone or how to micro can give your opponent a lot of info.

Not to mention, if a player is dicking around streaming, they are not doing the hardcore practice with in-house custom game drills over and over. Koreans got as good as they are now because of the fact that they do things differently. Streaming may only be a piece of the puzzle, but its still a piece. Koreans are an extremely dominant force in SC2 right now, so its not like we have much room to disagree with them.

I dont think they were streaming for the money at all, they were doing it for the fans.


Zenex alll started streaming pretty much in unison though, and there were some hints from the players about possible sponsorships for foreign tourneys.

DRG's comment about pressure not to stream makes sense if SC2Con wants to make the possibility of foreign sponsorships less likely.

it's simple, when they started streaming, gsl was finishing up, ie: players who got knocked out started streaming, not that gsl has started up again, these players don't want to stream their games to give their competitors an advantages, once gsl goes into the later stages, players will start streaming again. also i wouldn't be surprised is sc2con had something to do with it

15$/hr is insanely good. You have to remember all he does on the stream is things he'd be doing anyways. Basically he's getting 15$/h for stuff he'd normally do without pay.

I suppose you're right but what about what that guy said in the quote at the top of this reply?

I wish the Koreans would get more views. I tune to Rainbow's stream every day for like 8 hours or something, even if I'm not watching it the whole time, but just wanting to support the dude. Same with Dragon. Saddens me to see these korean gosus with 400 viewers when some semi-pros get 2k+ constantly.

Yeah, but why it should be banned? If someone wants to stream then go ahead let him stream for god sake whether or not it is good for him. It doesnt hurt others.

I think that's why Puzzle almost exclusively did extremely generic and totally non-specific builds. It also doesn't mean that people didn't derive information from him. When Koreans are spending 8+ hours a day doing intense training, every moment/day counts. And of course you are right that its not like every person who streams will get their ass kicked. Its just that it is, technically, less favorable than not streaming, from a competitors perspective, when ignoring money/sponsorship/etc.

Zenex.Hack streamed again yesterday. He has 90% winrate on NA. There's still players streaming: Rainbow, Dragon, Golden and Hero. The other players are busy for the GSL.

Yeah naturally progamers won't stream their custom games. But it doesn't mean laddering is pointless. White-Ra ladders a whole lot, with our without stream, he's always done that. A lot of the progamers utilize the ladder (more than people know I think) maybe not to bust out all their custom made strats, but to try new things, polish on their mechanics, get into funky situations, etc. So what you're seeing when progamers are laddering isn't "useless" it's still part of a routine they'd still be doing if they weren't streaming.

SC2Con wants all their players doing as well as possible. If someone streams, they are not doing as well. You have to realize that Korean training is already optimized to such a high degree that things like streaming take away quite a bit. Its not like foreign training where you just ladder some, play some CGs, do what ever it feels like you should do. Going from "Absolutely intense and specific training for 8+ hours a day with team mates, going over strategies and drilling certain builds" to "streaming some ladder games on the NA server, doing a bunch of all-in easy builds against (by their standards) absolutely terrible players" is a pretty big difference.

The entire philosophy behind Korean training is to optimize your training, your play, your mindset as much as possible. They didn't get to where they are now by having loose definitions of what "good enough" was. They optimize even the tiniest of details.
