me thinks it would be logical for wcs-na to have a french and spanish stream also. South america, is spanish based and a big part of canada has french as language. It would draw more viewers (certainly south america).

How am I supposed to enjoy the North American scene if I have to watch Capoch amove zealot colossus phoenix against ultras?

Capoch is by far one of the weakest players in WCS NA his seed was pretty much a bone to the South Americans (Why levin whom at least took a map off lucifron and qualified for the WCS world finals got snubbed while he got invited is beyond me).

I'm really starting to get annoyed by all these players who don't get macro hatches. While goswser did hold this off, he was floating over 1k minerals even after making the ultralisks. Either get another hatch or get some extra queens.

Hmm so looking at the viewer numbers its pretty obvious that not a lot of people want to see American player vs American player. First everyone bitched about having so many Koreans in WCS NA and now no one is watching when they are not playing.

Those may not the same people

It's really not as simple as that, I certainly wouldn't put my neck out and say words like "obvious" for something as one dimensional as stream numbers. Didn't EU challenger only manage to pull in around 20K average 30K peak?

*edit* when i say "only" 20K I actually think those numbers (for challenger) are great. I meant it in the context that 12k is not that far off from 20K. Especially when you consider that fact the Europe is asleep right now.

To be fair Korean vs. USA was Premier League and this is only Challenger and this is getting 13k and I saw some K vs. USA games hit 17k last week... =/ I just think people love watching Euros play Koreans by far the most. I could be wrong on that but can't speak for anyone just appears to me that viewer numbers bear that out.

Your point that challenger draws less viewers then premier is correct. EU has the advantage of a big pool of descent players that are better known to the community. Peeps like Kane are pretty good but not well known in the tournament scene. NA scene will catch up tho. I dont believe that there is a big difference in skill between NA and EU if u dont take the toppro's but the challengers into account.
