Um what? He has never said that. He has only said watch it if you want to and can afford it. Oh and that if you like it and are watching restreams to consider buying it next time. | ||

I assume that anyone watching the games with the MLG player is not counting towards the twitch numbers | ||

I'M enjoying both tournaments, especially with DRG having finally waken up and Thorzain owning it up at DH! | ||

As I haven't paid I have no idea which of the "extra" streams are currently worth watching. http://www.twitch.tv/directory?category=StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty&page=1 73k watching SC2 on twitch, all MLG numbers are hidden. 60k watching DH. 3k watching the next four biggest channels ~1k watching all the othres clumped together SooooOOOoooo ~ 9k watching MLG streams (anyone who has paid can watch multiple) A paid event getting less viewers!?!? Someone call the cops! | ||

Of course it has more pages >_> | ||

Foreigner event that's free vs a basically korean ppv event (MLG may be based in America but it's all Koreans now) Bit different | ||

If you look on the list it's ordered by number, by the bottom of the page already you are in to streamers with less than 5 viewers. There are only 106 streamers in total so it's pretty likely that although you cannot directly see the MLG viewer numbers you can infer it by the different from the total.

DH has live viewers, a much bigger cast of players (128), a bigger prize pool and arguably better streaming. MLG has only 8 players, kinda glitchy streaming and a much smaller prize pool (though admittedly, the players are bigger names). How does the DH business model work? Are ads and sponsors that good for DH? O_O | ||

I personally prefer MLG as they have the top players and top casters. Also i have lagless 1080 with no gaps between games, MLG is fucking awesome To be honest all this tournament rivalry is completely stupid and irrelevant. We all love SC2, there are two tournaments on at the same time thanks to the popularity of SC2. I am just glad there is so much content to watch and choose from. I personally think it's completely worth the $10, but others just don't even consider paying for MLG while another great tournament is on and I don't blame them. If these tournaments had better communication and would organise a bit better at the start of the year to avoid conflicted and overlapping MAJOR tournaments, I think it would be better for everybody involved, especially the viewers. Edit: Woo DRG vs MKP rematch number three! | ||

Competitors had to buy competitor passes, anyone competing had to pay their own travel and accomodation costs.... all adds up! | ||
