EPTAccording to that website S2 WC had approx double the ratings of the TI2. With reports that 1.1 million concurrent online viewers tuned in at its peak although the other sites reported 18 million veiwers and not 8.2 million so idk these numbers are all over the place.

That's the whole reason why people liked CLG, and then TSM. People like winners. It's different right now though. CLG and TSM have been relevant since... forever. Even if they don't do well they'll probably have bigger fanbases for a long time. They also stream a lot more, although CLG has slowed down and I think that's gonna hurt them in the long run. C9 has a growing fanbase right now but it's still behind TSM and CLG. | ||

I don't think it'll happen in 2013 for sure. but if riot jumps the shark with season 4... The response to dota 2 in korea has been fantastic though. even if the response to GOM has not. | ||

Most people who I've talked to who are in Korea or were in Korea recently and paid attention to it described the response to DotA 2 as being somewhat lackluster. | ||

I've heard the opposite from people i've talked to from Seoul.

I think it was like 400-600 people turned away every day from the GOM studio due to building limits. and some obscene number of teams, i think 800? dota 2 teams registered for the starter league. The actual nexon leagues won't start until post TI3 so we don't have much information on that. | ||

again though, currently the vast majority of Dota content is online content, I don't even think what TB said would be that big of a stretch if it wasn't online vs lan I don't know how people can intentionally watch online over lan. | ||

The numbers for TI3 don't mean much right now unless we compare them to last year's TI2. Having 4 streams with different games on and counting the in game numbers as well gives a very inaccurate unique viewer count. The only number that'll really matter is the viewer count for the grand finals. | ||

There haven't been any official numbers, the rough count based on stream viewership was ~500k concurrent in the prelims last week, not counting TV viewership in various places across the world (China, Sweden, etc.). "Unique viewer" counts are going to be wild guesses, but I'd say something in the ballpark of ~5 million is reasonable, given that the "Unique users last month" count on the DotA 2 website spiked by about 1.5 million in the last week, and that represents the number of players who watched the game in-client and did not play a game of DotA 2 in the last month. Counting stream views and active in-client players, 5+ million for prelims seems reasonable. I expect the number to rise drastically during the main event because the prelims were not heavily hyped the way the main event is. It won't match S3 WC, but it won't be outdone by a factor of 10. | ||

You can't just have a ton of $5,000~15,000 tournaments and then BAM --- TIME FOR A GORILLIAN DOLLAR TOURNAMENT! Players can't sustain themselves. Valve is working to fix this with more fan to player interaction. i don't think you need a valve league to succeed though. thats just lol experience being projected on a completely different scene. | ||

The only number that'll really matter is the viewer count for the grand finals. The most meaningful number we have right now is the ~1.5 million user spike in players who played DotA 2 in the last month over those few days, because the overwhelming majority of those users could only have logged in to watch TI3. Which means we have ~1.5 million as "players who watched TI3 in-client but have not otherwise played DotA 2 in the last month", and extrapolate the total viewer count from that.

Irrespective of anything about the two games, DotA 2 just missed its shot to be on top. | ||

First because of their exclusivity agreements with ESL/MLG/IPL/etc., and even when those lapsed, the organizers of those tournaments had the expectation leftover from Riot that Valve would pay them to run the tournament. Consequently, of those only ESL is running DotA 2 events right now, though MLG has been doing their stupid hype bullshit they always do for months now. | ||
