Yeah. If this is what it takes for SC2 to hit over 100k viewers, I would rather have a "dead gaem".


I don't think the winner takes all concept was the real reason for the numbers to cross a 100k. The games for the past 2 days have been very good and the SC2 finals are played in a lead up to the LoL finals.

I don't care if people say the games were good or bad. Was just boring and anticlimatic to watch is all.

We don't know if they agreed to split or partially split the prize before hand. sOs seems like the type to not do that. Anyway he does get 800 WCS points for second which is a lot.

Huge viewership!

And even the main stream broke 100 k

Just a fyi you have to go by the viewers on the Stream page ie http://www.twitch.tv/esltv_sc2 not that one, it is heavily delayed and adds up the numbers funny compared to removing. (iirc this is how you can tell if theres a lot of viewer bots as well)
The curse is real

Imagine a Jaedong vs Polt final going to game 7 or something similiar.


Imagine Jaedong vs NaNiwa finals (this includes NaNiwa behaving of course so exclude shitstorm).

Although personally, I think winner-takes-all series are bad for eSports in general, maybe one big one a year is okay, but that's enough.

The games might not have been entertaining, but seriously, there have lots and lots of similar finals in the past. Remember the cheesefests in broodwar?

There wasn't something like these finals in BW yet. And it will never be.

I disagree with the Winner Take All idea just on the principle that it screws over everyone else (and apparently is only used to increase entertainment value, rather than help the pro-gamers), regardless of how good or bad this final is. But this final certainly didn't help make the case for a WTA format lol.

I haven't been following the HotS scene, has there ever been a worse final than this in a major tournament?

I really wish artosis et al would shut the fuck up about hero not winning "Ahny Mohney!!!" while were watching him sitting distraught and ccrushed in his booth. Just cruel.


Why would Artosis care, he gets his caster paycheck like everytime anyway. :p

Hence why IEM should only pay the best caster, makes the casting more exciting.


I am truly afraid of the potential this has.... :D
