Alright, let me just say I'm not doing the "ded gaem" circlejerk, I'm basing this solely on numbers and people I have talked to. Please don't start fighting in comments about which one is better than the other, because that is not my point at all.
I'm looking over Afreeca right now and the stream list consists of castovers for Proleague with less than 5 viewers per stream (usually 0 viewers).

Meanwhile, Brood War ALWAYS has at least two thousand viewers, rebroadcasts of tournaments get thousands of viewers, live tournaments like the SBENU one go in excess of ten thousand viewers on Afreeca which is usually a castover of the live ESportsTV stream on YouTube.

Seems to be the quite literally the other way around for Twitch.

Hm, this should've been closed by now. That's odd.

I think you're mischaracterizing and cherry picking.

This comparison is so ridiculous

I could be wrong and there might be another platform they are viewing on or just viewing it on TV

What numbers could possibly make SC2 look good in Korea compared to BW? Maybe the television numbers that no one's ever seen, but I doubt it.
And I mean BW now, not in its glory days.

I'm not sure regarding personal streams, but Sc2 proleague/gsl/ssl is doing fairly decently in terms of viewership in Korea atm. Supposedly last proleague finals had the best ever tv ratings korean sc2 ever had.
It does see that the personal streaming side of Korean sc2 is completely dead, though.

Yeah, there was this really badass caster who was privately streaming games between KT and PRIME and it was not official, probably the Korean equivalent to ASL, and he only had 36 viewers

This isn't worth its own thread. Bring it to simple Q&A or something.
