"Competitive" Racing games with the Race line still turned on lol, pretty funny

Racing lines are never the optimal path. Just an easy and safe path to travel.

It's actually detrimental to have them turned on.

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

http://twitter.com/#!/TeamLiquidLIVE/status/104144967034871808

Oh, ffs! I really wanted to see those games. Why can't ESL just sort out the schedules properly?

I kno eh!

That was probably the group stage match I wanted to watch the most...

Well, at least you can download the replays, if you manage to find the tournament page on the esl page.

Are they sure that Puma - Stephano was played? There's nothing on their match history.

Most casual gamers click on the shiny logo in LoL login screen because it is new, not necessary something they care about.

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.

Oh man can't you just be supportive?
It's a great thing that more people are watching games being played.
The more games with high numbers the better overall.

Wait, was the Puma vs Stephano game actually streamed on the German stream via Puma's view? There was a TvZ on it, but I was paying attention to GSTL.

if it got 1.4 mill viewers yesterday, then how com LoL only has 5k viewers right now?

LoL's official (and free) HD stream have 45k.


their huge IEM tourney stream logo and stream embedded right on the center of login screen pretty much ensure their huge (yet inflated) stream counts.

how is it inflated?

People stumble upon it instead of actually looking for it.
Blizzard should really do the same.

lol so by properly advertising the tournament and finding as many viewers as possible makes it inflated? give me a break. the views are legit. doesn't matter how its found or if it was intentional. if they decide to watch it, its a view. Blizzard should do the same. But the numbers aren't inflated. And I don't even like LoL, but they deserve the credit.

Thats where you are wrong.
If someone opens the stream and the connection between the stream server and the computer is set up, so that you transfer data, it's a view.
So basically you could fake views by just loading the stream into the login screen, homepages etc. You could also fake views by opening multiple clients of streams within one machine.

Don't just assume that something is legit. It's not a new thing to fake viewer counts, it has been done before and it will always be done in the future (Thats not bash at LoL here as it is likely to happen with SC2 streams as well.)


But thats not what is happening. The stream isn't open until the people are clicking play. Why can't you just accept the numbers? 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

Indeed, stupid jealous children that only think about themselves. 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.

What's with the jealousy towards lol/dota2? It's ESPORTS man. Those getting ridiculous amount of viewers is only good for SC2, since it'll help legitimise ESPORTS in general. Stop hating, and start appreciating!

People are upset because LoL has found a good way to increase their viewing numbers? If anything sc2 should do the same with B.net 2.0

That's exactly what LoL is doing. Riot is only providing a big flashy link.

Really? What do you find fun about it ?
Not hating on the game, just wondering, 'cause I don't really like to spectate it.
It appears I have been chosen.

apparently we wont be seeing Puma vs Stephano any more as Puma won 2-1


Ugh, I haven't managed to watch PuMa play once so far for this tournament. Is he playing pretty solid?


I watched Puma vs Sase and thought he outclassed him pretty hard. 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.

That's strange. Teamliquid twitter didn't seem exactly confident with their tweet.

Puma against stephano is scheduled for main stage at 1pm. Finally!

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

Its still 40k people watching. 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.
