It was a mix of all the improvements they promised after Dallas, the fact Koreans were going, Tastosis and that MLG is always massively important. Either way it was the most important foreigner event in Sc2's short history. Does Dreamhack ring any bells? Dreamhack never had anything like the hype about it that MLG Columbus did. Dreamhack is still awesome though and I would expect any Sc2 to also watch the finals of that too.
You guys should all really stop.... you have gotten to the point where you are just arguing over an analogy... really? Who cares what either of you think about TB or IdrA. They both contribute to SC2 and they both have their downsides. There is no need to flame them for their faults, especially not here.

Ahh so you saying if we just hype up a tournament or player that makes them good?

You compare MLG to a 8 man invitational
You compare the viewers of a top 3 foreigner to a funny comentator in gold league.
TB had 20k viewers watching his tournament. The number of streams on the right side of TL that ever reached 20k viewers at the same time is not very high, it's basically major tournaments, major podcasts or the very top players. And I have seen his personal stream at over 5k views occasionally, that's more than most pros ever get.
I think you argue about nothing really. There is a decent amount of people who enjoy what TB is doing for the community. And he actually invests in the community. If all what you want to say is that probably more people care about Idra, Day9 or Tastosis, then you are very probably right. But we are not at a stage with SC2 yet, where we can marginalize a tournament that has constant 20k viewers, and since the tournament was 10hours long, probably way more unique viewers.
The TB hate train is really unneccessary.

Right, this trolling has gone on long enough. DreamHack is the biggest LAN party in the world and the DreamHack invitational had I think 50k watching at once if I'm not mistaken. DreamHack Summer will have over five streams.
You really need to try harder with your trolling, because it's not even clever.

22.5 million views are not 22.5 million viewers. And that was for three different games, not just SC2.

For the restaurant buzzer idea, make sure there is a backup system (like calling players over loud speakers, or displaying names of players on giant screens as up next) because if they run out of batteries or something, it would be an awful reason to get disqualified.

It doesn't always work, but it does keep me sane.

Not saying the claim isn't justified i'm saying that's the appeal. Going by how many people like TB and watch his vids i'd say it's working out pretty well for him. I think quite a lot of people watch him for the amusement of him not understanding the game, missing drops etc..
Understanding the game is irrelevant for a play-by-play caster, he knows enough to do said play-by-play, analysts are there for that deep understanding. Also, every caster misses drops. Even the GOMTV Observer at times, and that guy is a legend, and he doesn't have to talk.

Wow, look at the influence Idra has on the community 
I find TB delightful (probably because of his accent), and he's at least as good as the other "regular schmo" casters, Wheat and JP

Was there no show this week? or does it just take a while to upload?

Just want to raise a point about discussing players.
It would be much appreciated if whenever you guys discuss about a player on the show that yougo into more of the specifics. For me, listening to the discussions about the type of style and tactic that a player favours just adds so much more depth to my watching experience.
Let me give you an anecdote. I don't really watch Code A and so I pretty much have no clue why Losira is good, or more to the point why other people (ie Tastosis) seem to have such a high opinion of his play. But prior to MLG Columbus I read MrBitter's write up about Losira's TvZ, about how he favours mass ling/baneling/roach, and that gave me so much more enjoyment out of watching his games. I realised that I was a) more engaged in the early game because during the early skirmishes I'd always implicitly try to keep track of his macro timings in the back of my mind and b) felt familiar and a sense of endearment when I was "recognising" his strategy even though I have literally never watched a single game of his (am so gutted that I missed out on his Code A finals match). What's more, when I was watching his match against MMA in the finals, it became even more enjoyable because I was seeing how this amazing strategy of his was getting dominated by the drop play.
Of course there are shows like the daily etc. that does that really well but I feel that shows like Inside the Game (and probably SotG when it comes back on) is well placed to throw in more of this talk because there are several top players present to bounce the discussion around. You know how you always say we need more storyline? Well I think this kind of talk is another way of enriching the storyline that is "in-game" as opposed to being in the community.
So to summarise my point: please talk more about the specifics of a player's play, as I think it adds a lot of depth to the in-game storyline of a player and that's something the audience will lap up.
Cheers!

I wonder if there was some deliberate plan to create drama to get more listeners because, now I am very interested to hear what the hell would make people shit all over a caster, who threw in his own money and time to do an awesome tournament and then promising to use the ad-revenue from his stream to create a new tournament.

That's a solid point if it was teh last tournament for sc2. I would say that MLG Anaheim is going to be even bigger, and the next tournament and the finals. I would say that TSL was a huge tournament, it wasn't live (except the end) but it was still big. I would say that Dreamhack and ipl etc are big tournaments. The only reason why MLG Columbus could be considered the biggest tournament so far is because it spanned a 3 day period where every other tournament takes place over a longer period of time.
Edit: oh, forgot to mention, Dreamhack was bigger.
