If someone posts the first final where Grrrr won and it's like double the size of this one, than yea, you can say that this final was bad. But I'd say if this was a good run for OGN than all's good, and maybe combining the two teamleagues now, or just hyping HotS up would be enough to have a bigger domestic audience. While everyone was crying about the size of the audience at least DRG got raped, so congrats for that to Bisong and also for Royal Roading the Fall. Was it? This was the typical audience number for ZvZ finals. Every other finals had much more fanbase than this, hell I think even the number of fans who showed up in Shanghai might match the number of people who showed up today (and that's considering that cops blocked some people from entering the Shanghai stage). | ||

Sigh... so much negativity and doomsday like proclamations recently.. 1) yeahh according to those who remember BW, yes. 2) read the recap. The first game was zvp boring, the other games were epic mindgames and strategy from rain | ||

Not even hating on BW since it's the first ever PC game I played and I still play it since my comp cant run SC2 Do you actually believe in the mid 2000s Korea did not have pop music and tv | ||

That foreign BW interest actually rose between 2005 and 2009? 2005 is the often cited comparison year because that was the peak of BW success in Korea, and things slowly started to decline from there. The 2005 crowds were larger than the 2009 ones. So if anything, all you did was just disprove your own point even more. No, the point was that outside of korea, there was no such thing as professional brood war. Counter-Strike was the biggest game at that point in time, if you look at the whole world. I know you love brood war, so do I, but to say that it was the only esport in 2005 is stupid, seeing as it wasnt even the biggest one. | ||

Not saying non of the fans were SCBW fans, as you can clearly see some fans have cheerfuls for the SCBW players. But i do think 60% or more of those people mostly were there to see Infi, Sky & co (not entirely sure who was playing at that time). On the CS vs SCBW issue, i have no idea which one was more popular in China. Also speaking of the crowd size in this OSL, it was more than i thought. Not too many people of course, but i feared worse. If anything i was a bit disappointed in the online viewership numbers at Twitch.tv. But their stream was fairly bad, at times nearly unwatchable. | ||

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that when posting these pics one should mention that the crowd was pretty much the same for every single final game that was played on the same day as can be verified from the VODs. This included the famous eSport title "Asphalt 4" played on a mobile phone. It also included games like CS and WC3. I have my doubts about how conclusive evidence this crowd is of the popularity of any individual title on this list. | ||

You're gonna compare dramas? Let's be honest here. How many non koreans even know of korean culture back then? Look at it now, so many non-koreans so into Korean culture. That's how BIG k-pop and their dramas have become. Obviously thanks to technology and other stuff but a video game isn't really the "thing" anymore in korea. Starcraft only happened because it was a cheap means of entertainment back then. That's why people like Boxer and Nada were celebrities with fan girls and whatnot. | ||
