Or maybe it's due to the fact that viewernumbers for Starcraft have been declining over the last year.
Only the hardcore fans are left but every1 else has either gone to LoL, Dota2 or some other game.
Viewernumbers for Dota2 Invitational tournament are allready higher then the numbers for Starcraft have ever been ~30k viewers on the stream and like 60-70k viewers watching the games live in the gameclient.

Starcraft desperately needs HOTS and it better be good, otherwise the game will get overrun.

sc2 has had over 100 k viewers


Yes but not now and that's what matters.

No, this works like a regular (MLG) double elimination finals.


i think hes right, if first now looses (his first loss in the champ bracket) hes instantly out, there is no lower bracker for him. Seems like a flaw in this system? hero got 2 chances, first gets only 1, strange indeed


Can someone explain this? Why doesnt First get a 2nd chance but hero does, seems strange.

Let's look at it this way, I don't think Stephano had a major broadcast any time this week, nor did MKP. Those two are the two most popular players in this tournament. No Naniwa, Mvp, MMA, etc etc.

IEM had Mvp. Providence had Nani in the finals. Anaheim had Stephano, DRG, MKP, etc etc.

This MLG isn't as good in terms of line up popularity. So less pages.


MLG did hardly any promoting outside of their own Facebook page, and I think is showing to have been a huge mistake. It's disappointing to see them not want people to know about one of their four major events of this year.

Possible reasons why many people skipped over watching mlg
1) Guild Wars 2
2) Kespa e-sports drama turning people off
3) Current metagame of 20mins no rush for >50% of the games
4) Others

As an avid gsl viewer reasons 1-3 were why I missed this MLG. Hope the games have been good so far!

Guuuuh. Who the heck would play that Total Recall game? >.<'

Is MLG holding a Halo and/or CoD torunament this time? Or is it just SC2 and LoL? (Mortal Kombat, maybe?) Might explain why fewer people are watching; less viewers in general means less viewers who might click on SC2 for curiosity's sake.

I think MLG is just waiting for Halo 4 to come out before returning to the first person scene.

And I don't think it's those reasons why the crowd is so small. The same games were played last championship, and with a lot more people. It's probably because there was not enough hype compared to last championship, with the Kespa players, and the HotS demo.

Yes it did 1 year ago, but it has been declining rapidly since then.

This does not make me feel good.


hell even anaheim had 400 pages


"Even" Anaheim? The most hyped event ever? Biggest NA event ever? Flash, Jaedong, Fantasy, Bisu? That small event?


Providence was definitely the biggest NA event ever as far as sc2 is concerned, and I don't think it will be topped any time soon.

Condsidering how weird MLG's formats are, that isn't so far-fetched.

Considering how easily idra beat first, i have to say its wierd that first made it this far.

wasn't it 2-1 ?


one of the games was won by a ling runby, too

I guess that guy has no idea what he's talking about then

Just an Idra fanboy. I guess I would have to root against First or else the fanboys would come out and call "Idra > First (champion), therefore Idra is the champion".

Think not. That ling runby wasn't that big. I did not know (and still don't know) who this first guy is and Idra beat him quite convincingly, so I thought (and still think) he is one of those toss that pop in the scene monthly. Monthly-toss until proven otherwise.
