Keep the rage to a minimum. This includes wait times between games, music, and balance. Fair warning to all. | ||

ESPN won't ignore something like this for long. I've got say, as an RTS diehard who just can't play with others, I'm jealous -- but also interested in where this will go. I've heard so many times that LoL fans aren't really interested in the game, that the stream numbers were because of in game inbeds, and other things to explain away its popularity, but yeesh this is wild. We dont even get mad at that anymore lol. Just used to it. And when you know the reality its easy to look past that. | ||

I have a right to be sad that it never got this kind of exposure out west. Stop being so nostalgic and shit . It's getting really annoying to read shit like this lol. Everytime LoL has an event, someone from SC2 or BW cries that their game is superior and LoL doesnt deserve the attention or they say "LoL so casual pls" Christ. Just love the fact that esports is growing and stop being so negative. | ||

That misconception makes me >.< LoL, I used to believe in that as well. Well, just accept it. LoL is huge, looking at this all across the board right now. LoL grand finals will have at least double viewers compare to TI2 and will be the most watched E-sport event on earth. | ||

Just love the fact that esports is growing and stop being so negative. I didn't say LoL was casual or didn't deserve the attention. I love LoL. I want it to do well. I'm allowed to be sad that my favorite game of all time tried and failed to make it big in the US. You can't take that away from me. | ||

The English streams are almost hitting double TI2 numbers on their own. | ||

330k Riot Twitch 150k Garena Twitch 65k Other Twitch 170k Riot Own3d 37k Other Own3d 75k Chinese Flash Streams 827k viewers, not including OGN viewers or non-Flash Chinese streams. Including those, it's probably over 1 million no problem. One thing that surprised me is that the Chinese viewership is actually a lot less than I expected. | ||
