Whatever happens, the viewer count will always range about the same value no matter what. People do not tune in for a certain player or whatever, they tune in for the whole tournament or just Ro4 or the finals. Yeah recently in 2015-16 the core viewerbase has been practically unshaken, when I saw an IEM last year don't remember which, I was like "Holy moly 20k for the open bracket? imagine the finals!" Then it turns out the finals only have like 10-15k more. The dedicated viewerbase was just actually watching from start to finish lol. | ||

He was like top 10 on aligulac before he lost to Bly which is completely absurd considering how Hydra has been playing in LotV (and yes viOlet's rating was really low). Yeah Hydra's rating is inflated mostly because he steamrolled a ton of online tournaments. It's a little ridiculous when you look at it. But I'm not sure how you can say viOLet's was really low considering that with the exception of one slump period in early 2014, he has consistently been between 1800 and 2000 over the last 3 years. Moreover if you look at his recent results (2015 and 2016 in this link) you'll simply see that he hasn't been playing a lot and he also hasn't been winning as much as you might think. | ||

Well, I didn't say viOlet's rating being low isn't justified, I just meant it's really low compared to some other players at DH so aligulac wouldn't predict him to win On a side note, I'm curious about Drogo's Blizzcon chances now... | ||

There were times he pulled his entire army back for ONE ZEALOT THAT WAS ATTACKING A BUILDING HATCH AND DIDN'T COME FROM A WARP PRISM. Obviously you have to split off more then a few units to deal with late game prisms warping in 12 zealots. But even then you don't need to pull the whole army over there. Here lemme try....man do you even play sc2, you realize 2 roaches will kill 1 zealot right? They even added hotkeys in lotv that make it easier to split off units. Proof or didn't happen =D | ||

With a real time and not this farce of time, the final could have outdone Dreamhack LotV winter easy. I am not the Thorin fan, but he is right with one thing, when he talked about NA CS and EU CS: EU citizens stay late up to watch content out of NA, NA cannot (work, school, sleep) get up super early to watch EU content. Even tho I hate the new weekend events in the WCS Circuit, I expect a very strong viewernumber at Dreamhack Austin. But on the same side, CS:GO final started at 13.00 CET (7 EST, 4 PST) with 200k viewers. I dont think this tournament does say alot about the circuit. In the end, WCS Spring finals at Kato will do this: A real (side-)stage, maybe a real time for the final (wasnt it last year 16.00 CET? Sunday?) and alot of games directly next to SC II: CS:GO 250k event and IEM World finals of LoL. | ||

I can't think of the last time I've seen any numbers as high/higher. Do you think it would have been 50-75k if it were two Koreans? Or one Korean and a Foreigner? I don't think it would have been much different either way. | ||

No but if WCS 2016 was all about this magic rainbow of getting casual viewers I'd expect to see an uptick in viewership for an all foreign final, not a group of numbers that's down 20% on HSC | ||

I don't see the correlation between the system and casuals, casuals wouldn't know/care if it was all foreigner or all Korean, or a mix at this point in the systems existence. The hope appears to be to prop up the scene overall around the world, so that the long term effect is to stabilize the viewership and then slowly increase interest in the game again. The first step to doing that is to try and create a more global following for a variety of players. Then you'll be able to pull viewers from all over that are fans of Koreans, Foreigners, etc. This is the same strategy used by a lot of major and minor league sports to grow their product. Put it this way, the previous system was dying, might as well try something new but to say it somehow failed already(as you are implying) is not only shortsighted but pushing forward a false narrative to prove a point that won't be proven for another few months if not year or two. | ||
