The problem is that only people who regularly watch SC in the first place would be interested. Otherwise you just have no idea what's going on.

As much as we'd like to have promoted the TSL more, remember that we didn't know the final 16 until a week before the first broadcast, and we couldn't officially announce Razer as a sponsor until a few days before the first broadcast (even though we were confident that they'd sponsor, only the details and actually signing the contract had to take place).

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.

Not true at all. 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."

Not true at all. Tons of people from Shacknews watch who haven't played StarCraft in a decade.

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.

What if announcements of the cast were posted to some social networking news sites a day before? 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.

Why is it so impressive? Are there any numbers to compare with? MSL, OSL, GSI, BWWI, numbers of visitors to this portal or any other internet-sites, numbers of downloaded vods from other leagues?

It's impressive because this is made by a website, not by a huge company. It's foreign in a game that's not appreciated as much as it is in Korea, which is why it's so amazing.


You actually didn't answer his question. That number can't be impressive if you don't have anything to compare it to. 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

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.
Super serious.

That's a really good idea Zzoram, I'm surprised they haven't done this already. I mean shit, we already ask people to register at tl.net why not advertise tl.net attack?

Many people don't watch the live stream, because it starts too late. Stream finishes at 2/3 am for most europeans and many people have to go to school / work the next day. It's even worse for asians.
