As usual, don't player bash, don't flame, and don't balance whine. Failure to heed this warning will have consequences.

They put the stream right in the games frontend so getting a straight answer on if those views are real or not is impossible.

Its just a link actually, you have to click it and it opens the stream on your browser.
But you have to admit that it is brilliantly promoted. Wish Blizzard would do that :/


Still the majority of people don't bother to watch. There are millions of people playing LoL that have never seen a pro-game.


Anyways, it's about accessibility, a key thing you know.

could u expand on that i dont understand, are u saying the streamer is making the numbers bigger than they really are?


He's saying Riot promote events way better than Blizzard. Imagine loading up SC2 and most of your screen being a big IEM advert with a stream link.

He's wrong because it doesn't autoplay or anything so viewer count is just the # of people watching.

They do however publicise streams of tournaments heavily in the client which is a fantastic way of letting people know that there is something on that they can watch right this second with one mouse click.

I expect to see it in HotS if Blizzard are actually serious about esports.

I'd like to see it for the WCS finals too this year.

IEM always have problems attracting sc2 viewers for some reason, and their production values aren't even that bad.

For the last 2 years best IEM for sc2 caps around 40-50k, with most of them around 20k. Pitiful compare to MLG/dreamhack/GSL or even iron squad

When does a smile become a smirk and when were you supposed not to smile when you win? Feels like I'm out of touch here.

"Brother" my best friend, its "brother". Well Nerchio would indeed win every GSL from now till the end of time. However, he will never feel the touch of a woman or the warmth of friendship. But who needs that when your winning 1.700k in tournaments.

but bruter. dont u think making 10k/day will allow him to buy those fiscal things?

Still the majority of people don't bother to watch. There are millions of people playing LoL that have never seen a pro-game, in fact Sc2 is far more watched by % of userbase.


Can you show me the number you used to make that statement?

If its not directly embedded they link to it and people have been saying the links get counted as well or something. I dunno. There was a big deal about it awhile ago not sure what happened with it.

aww ok, well i think that it is important that we note that is their grand finals so if that is over and sc2 grand finals are on our numbers should go way up!

LoL is played by 30M people.
SC2 barely in the million.

I found our viewers number way more impressive :o

Wait, does that mean that even 10% does not watch LoL tournaments?
Wow, never knew that! Thanks

The dudes just happy to win lol, be it a smirk/smile/fistpump w/e, at least he shows some kind of emotion after a win, unlike a lot of other players ^^


Problem is that he whines and cries like a baby when he loose. Good player but very much a douche.

He's just like Naniwa, kind of a dick, but such a good player that I don't even care. I just straight up love them.


he is nothing like naniwa. nerchio is actually a nice person, he's just frustrated when he loses. naniwa is permanent douche

I'm pretty sure you can get "the touch of a woman" for less than 1700k in most countries.
If you're not getting better faster than everybody else, you're getting worse.

Eww just the two players I really dislike But good that not everyone like the same players or it would get boring

It's one thing if you're a dick with nothing to show, but when you've knocked MC out of a tournament, I don't care if you bite the head off kittens in your spare time, I'm going to respect your play.

I don't understand this with starcraft2 fans.. Why do you dislike so much if a player shows some kind of emotions after they win/lose, do you really want them just to fucking sit there not doing/giving a fk when they win?


Its not about "emotions", its about his particular smirk combined with the fact that he has behaved like a whining child when he lost games before. But I agree that its a useless thing to talk about. He wins and is allowed to have whatever expression on his face that he wants.

Lol guys, you accuse Nerchio of being BM every game with his "smirk", but in fact he's just happy that he won a game, whats wrong with that?

The one being BM are you, guys. Ther's nothing wrong with being happy.
