Dreamhack is waiting for the viewer count to drop below 35,000, then they will start the finals.

It's always amusing to read the opposing games forums cry in bewilderment how the other game doesn't make sense and they are confused why anyone would watch it

Wouldn't call it bewilderment. SC2 is very clear. A red army fighting a blue army, and the army that gets obliterated, loses. MOBA games like LoL and DOTA2 have heroes attacking seemingly random stuff, critters that randomly walk towards and attack towers. It's a lot less clear to non-insiders what's going on.

To be honest, I never played Brood War multiplayer, but it only took me a game or three on gomtv.net to have a general idea of what's going on, and by the 20th game I had a general grasp of the build orders the players were using.


You have to know what each individual hero does or is at least capable of to have some strategic grasp as well as a basic clue. (e.g. who is on what team?) Imagine watching Starcraft with no idea what the units did, all you can assume is one team shooting or attacking the other.

Give yourself time and a chance, if you learn the basics it will open up to you.

I watched Starcraft without much idea of what does what. I had played the campaign a few times, but I mainly started watching it because I once saw a documentary about Starcraft being a popular competitive video game in South Korea.

I had a great time watching practically all the games on gomtv.net, grew really fond of tasteless as a caster (I still am, even though Artosis drowns him out way too much and Tasteless' passion for Starcraft 2 isn't on the same level as his passion for BW). I found out very quickly how the game functioned. The premise was also very easy: destroy the other player's base.

Like you said, in a MOBA game you have to know each of the heroes, and there tend to be a lot. Next there's also the items, critters that randomly seem to attack towers (what's their function?), gold etc. There's a lot of stuff you cannot know unless you play the game yourself, or do a ton of research. That's not good for a spectator sport. Football, tennis, basketball, hell even american football are all sports that are relatively easy to understand for people who are new to them. The finesse unfolds if you watch it a lot. It's not something I see happening with MOBA games, a genre which I personally find a bastardization of the RTS genre (since you basically only have to control one unit).


Empirically league of legends has had a higher magnitude of livestream viewers than sc2 recently, at many events. So, I wouldn't be too sure about that theorycrafting. If a game is popular to play, and has a good competitive scene, people will watch.

Well, it's a free and relatively casual game, with in-game stream support (hint HINT, blizzard?). It's got a way higher playerbase than SC2 as well, again, because it is free to play. If SC2's multiplayer were suddenly F2P, we'd see SC2 player number surge!


No, we won't. SC 2 started off with a player base of 1 million+ players in the NA. It's a tiny fraction of that - around 10,000-20,000 by my last log in to the NA server - who play online ladder matches. Competitive RTS games aren't that attractive to casual players, and it's the casual players who make up the bulk of MOBA viewers.

MOBA


Please stop using this term.

It's fucking retarded.

-The Society of People Who Undestand What MOBA Stands For

Can you explain what it is then? First result on "MOBA" into google is a site about LoL strategy. Aren't LoL, DOTA, HoN etc. MOBAs?

I'm not trolling. Genuine question.

Why don't they just give force fields a decent amount of health like the Entomb ability on Oracles for HotS?

Cause zerg is imba already, immortal all ins are one of the few ways for protoss to beat zerg atm. The only real way to engage zerg is defensively because of the mass spine crawler walls in the mid to late game, the main weakness of the broodlord is that its slow, so shouldn't the protoss be able to just go for a base race without losing half its army to static defense? Yes there is the archon toliet but zergs can make tons of units in the mid game and make up for it by taking tons of bases at the same time, this also makes the protoss make tons of units to defend itself and use all their resources on the wrong tech to stop the zerg death ball in the late game, its a fundamental problem with zerg, that they can have a 200 pop army at the 12-15min mark and be able to expand like crazy off it at the same time. I would love to see just what taking the +bonus damage to armor away and an increase in the cost of the spine crawler (to maybe 150?) would do to the match-up, spine crawler walls are the stupidest thing in PvZ and need to go. If a zerg has their death ball, the protoss should be able to go for the base race and not just sit there and die. This will make the zerg make a decision, either go back and defend or go for the kill.

My god, I'm actually close to crying. I'm really tired, but it's just all these memories of DHW1 flooding back, and Naama and Mana battling it out.

Where did those days go... where did Naama go?

I want to see the SCV train again, I want to see the epic storms, I want to see the seige tanks in TvP.

<3 Naama, <3 Mana and <3 Dreamhack. :'(


Naama was/still is in Korea, right?


Naama has been back in Finland for like 2 months now. Been doing school etc.
Also heard he has some motivation issues because of current state of TvZ.
He's been under the radar though for a long time..

That's exactly the reason for my skepticism for LoL or DotA being the flagship eSport titles. They just wont bring in new viewers. SC2, on the other hand...

It's also the reason as to why DH considers SC2 their most important project, regardless of the stream viewer numbers

I missed basicly the whole MLG as well...


MLG events in Cali tend to screw over the east coast a bit. Fri and Sat ended at 2-3 am lol
