Everyone was working hard on making sure that the broadcast actually happened. It will be much, much easier to promote for future seasons (if we have future seasons) because we'll already have all the technical issues worked out and we can focus on things like marketing and promotion. | ||

If we were to get some people who only generally follow video games to watch, StarCraft is a game that is easy enough to understand that even first time viewers, when they see zerglings and marines and zealots and storm and such, can follow the action on screen. Of course they won't understand as well as someone who regularly watches, but they'd definitely be able to comprehend a good amount and not just "have no idea." | ||

Everyone was working hard on making sure that the broadcast actually happened. It will be much, much easier to promote for future seasons (if we have future seasons) because we'll already have all the technical issues worked out and we can focus on things like marketing and promotion. IF we have future seasons? I thought it was a given that we would be able to enjoy plenty more seasons of amazing games to tide us through the endless finals periods. | ||

Let me put it this way: what number wouldn't have impressed you? Considering the number of people who seem to be actively posting on TL and the fact that this event is popular throughout the whole non-Asian SC scene I think that number is surprisingly low. Apparently not so many people enjoy watching the whole cast live. Does anybody have numbers for the vods? I'm guessing the numbers are significantly less than MSL, OSL and GSI. The GSI when it first started had 1 million unique IPs and GSI just appeared out of nowhere. The numbers for TSL is impresive because they aren't a huge company like MSL, OSL, and GSI. As GSI has proven with their english cast, there are a lot of people that enjoy watching the live cast. TSL just doesn't have the budget to market it like the big companies. | ||

GSI had half a million IPs over the course of the tournament, and that almost definitely includes Korea. :p | ||

For instance, both Digg and Reddit have a gaming section, so the people who'd see the announcement would be interested in gaming. Somebody could post the link with a good title ("Live cast of the largest non-Korean Starcraft tournament"), post the link on the TeamLiquid forums to get people to upvote the story to get it on the front page. We did that, and Digg admins quickly flagged it as abuse and shut it down. Besides the fact that your votes are weighted by the time you've been on the site, and most of our votes were first time Digg users. | ||
