Sure, it brings them more viewers, and good strategy for them to do. But it ruins those of us that do care about esports and looks/watches for it 24/7 Yea more people watching esports ruins it for you HARDCORE people. Seriously grow up. Other people having success does in no way ruin success for you or for what you care about. | ||

It's a great thing that more people are watching games being played. The more games with high numbers the better overall. | ||

Do you realize how many people play LoL? Them having 45k viewers right now is no surprise. stream jumped from 15k to 40k SOLELY because of the logo (I was there). If their playerbase truely cares about esport/their game, I think they would've know that their SECOND BIGGEST TOURNEY is going on and wouldn't need a huge shiny embeded stream to remind them | ||

Be happy that there are other games out there that are good for other gamers. It only helps us in the end. Actually watching LoL over SC2 when I can during the group stages. Its a lot of fun. | ||

Opened both games kind of cheesy and fell behind but caught up with multiple drops - all which seemed to be effective. First game was pretty cheesy but second game I thought was just really interesting strategy. For anybody who didn't see the second game, Puma proxied a factory and started producing hellions in Sase's base. At the same time Puma was using a bunker/marine attack at Sase's FE, (essentially splitting Sase's forces extremely early in the game). He then transitioned into heavy multipronged drop play. | ||

Teamliquid twitter didn't seem exactly confident with their tweet. Puma against stephano is scheduled for main stage at 1pm. Finally! 26 minutes ago · reply · retweet · Or not. Puma 2:1 stephano. Trust me schedule is as confusing here at the event as it is at home. Hoping for some starcraft on stage soon 3 minutes ago · reply · retweet · Does seem like it did happen though. | ||

Doesn't matter how they get there. By watching, they are showing interest in it. I mean hell look at the sc2 english stream right now. 5k people. So if 15k people were watching LoL before the logo was up, they are still doing something right. | ||
