This is false. The only event from the FGC that has a significant amount of non-playing spectators is EVO and it's about the same as SC at best. Every other event's audience consists of the players themselves mainly. | ||

I think the argument he's making, one of which I agree with, is that the overwhelming majority of those at evo who are spectating are also players themselves. This is proven to not really be the case with SC2, where many viewers don't even play the games themselves. Note: This is not to say everybody at EVO plays or everybody on the stream plays, but it's something industry insiders have talked about w/ SC2 for a while. That despite it's actual relatively small player base compared to some games, it retains large stream viewership from those who don't play. | ||

The overwhelming majority are players of a game, but not the game that they are watching. That's like saying the overwhelming majority of mlg watchers are players because they either play either starcraft or cod or lol. | ||

The point isn't that the viewers play X specific game, the point is that the viewers are competitors which most starcraft viewers are not. | ||
