This is what happens when you take a top terran and top zerg, throw them together and get lucky because no one went mech or swarm hosts. Then, magic happens. | ||

But all-in-all 55k is damn good compared to the amount of people who actually play SC2 these days. Edit: It's actually been a steady 40-45k the whole time and that's damn good for sponsors and such so I'm satisfied. I'm curious what the numbers will be for the final. | ||

Honestly Revival vs Jjakji mech vs swarm hosts was pretty sick! Just gotta throw in some mutas and stuff. | ||

Also there have been some shitty games at this tournament too. true, it's not black and white. i think the viewship levels and attendance will be the ultimate indicator whether this format woked, the players agreed to this harsh tournament, they will have to live with the consequences of getting nothing at all. but it's good for the sport i think.it's a step in the right direction to actually have something on the line, like money, careers, sponsorship. but i hear your point | ||

Because LoL and DOTA 2 get them ergo SC2 needs to be comparable or exceed the numbers otherwise it is a dead game. | ||
