LoL has few tournaments per month, when they have something. Sc2 has so much content happenning at same time most of the people cannot afford to watch everything so they split. Tomorrow we have GSL+IEM+NASL Broadcast+MLG if you put the viewership together its really insane. LoL has one tournament, every one from that scene that watch tournaments will probably watch it, so they are all bunched into one big number.

Well, the Steam was implemented in the client/launcher, even though it did NOT start automatically.
You can definitely ay that this increase the viewers by a bunch, I really want to know how many people are watching LoL from esl.tv.

so? who cares where the viewers come from.

Blizzard just cares about getting sponsored at a tournament and stealing a % of the loot.

Well, they ARE sponsoring the GSL as far as I know.
But they could promote the tournaments more explicitly.

LoL is also a far more popular game. Doesn't say anything about the game's quality, but facts can't be denied.

Sad but true. I guess it goes to show, if you want to make a popular game, screw quality and make it free.

I'm in no way discouraging LoL's viewer, just want to know the facts, I'd love to see Blizard implementing it and then see the facts of SC2

Can someone tell me how exactly did Gatored vs DRG games go? What bo's and stuff in each game (we gotta wait anyway so tell me about it!)?

Thanks.

Haven't seen the start of the first, it ended up being a ling/infestor push which transitioned into roaches(Destiny style).

VR/phoenix denied DRG's third, Gatored defended the push quite easily and rolled with Colossi/Gateway units afterwards on Shattered Temple

G2 was FFE into 6gate+robo push(he had 3immortals) against standard fast third hatch ling/roach on Dual Sight, Gatored killed the third but handled a ling runby really bad and lost ~25 probes to that. DRG transitioned into roach/hydra, defended his natural and pushed afterwards. Ling runby and overcommiting when he attacked the natural cost Gatored the game.

G3 was on Shakuras, DRG played speedling expand into third against a FFE, Gatored played 2gate Phoenix and 6gate + warp prism, sniped the queens with his phoenix, denied ovi vision and warped onto the highground, forcefielding the ramp and killing the main. After that he added a third and killed DRG with colossi+gw units.

DRG thinking he'll win as long as he survives the first 5 minutes.

I don't think he will be so confident anymore.

The point is, it should Blizzard's job in the first place.

Blizzard's job is to make the freaking game. And still even if you feel like Blizzard is not promoting the game enough(and seriously people forget so much that Blizzard promotes DH, GSL, MLG in the game client) complaining about it on a LR thread is stupid. Complaining about another game getting more viewers is even more stupid.
