Well, it sure isn´t that bad, but I think it´s hard for ESL to expand outside of Europe, especially USA since they already have experienced and big rivals that are established.


Didn´t both IEM (the one in China) and Blizzcon europe invitational did really well?

I don´t think ESL will do badly.I actually don´t know why IEM NY is getting so less viewers than MLG, its not like it was all bad players coming


This event just really had poor timing. No one is to blame here though.

Yeah, but I don't know why the community somehow prefers MLG. I mean MLG its not bad, but of all tournaments MLG gets a lot of hype when compared to other tourneys

Yeah, i have the same feeling, MLG is great and all, but it gets more hype than it deserves, maybe its the number of players and games...but common, up to Orlando they even didnt stream majority of games. Just strange.

Blizzcon Invitational was really amazing and China was good as well. But Blizzcon was advertised by Blizzard themself and at China ESL made great coverage here at TL. They made all LR threads, updated, put it in calender...
The players in NY are fine for me, but I just don´t get hyped, don´t know why. It´s not the 4 streams at MLG, I take Rotterdam and MrBitter over most casters at MLG and most matches get casted without I have to swap streams. I like that better.

Like I said, I think Xlord is to pessimistic, but if it happens more often that they have so few viewers... Everything for SC2 ofc, LoL seem to run great.
But yes, perhaps it´s just a bad weekend, with DRG, TOP, Mana, Strelok, elfi... I think the level is good enough, but MLG lineup this weekend just can´t get topped.

IEM SC2 events always seem to draw less than the rest (not just this weekend). Never understood why because they have good production and well run live events.

This is the main reason. ESL just isn't a very well-run organization; they don't have a good sense of how to hype their events, and they exist in their own little bubble isolated from every other eSports organization. When you look at all the other tournaments, they profit through partnership and working with the community.

hmmm yeah now that you mention it. Thats might be the reason. Bad to see their Sc2 events not get many viewers, they have tons of quality games

Wow never would have known if I didn't read this thread, kept waiting for the stream to come up on the side bar.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.
