Seeing as the Stockholm Invitational also had over 450k unique viewers it's not that impressive, though it had the advantage of being covered in several Swedish newspapers. Anyway, it's nice to see esports moving forward.

What's the source for the DH numbers? Did they report how many stream hours were consumed? I'd be curious to know what the average amount of time each viewer spent watching the stream was.

If MLG's is really in the neighborhood of 4.9 hours per unique, I imagine that'd be a hell of a selling point for potential advertisers.

The numbers are from their Stockholm Invitational postpromo (

And wuut 1.4 million unique for DreamHack?.. I doubt that very much :/ The stream numbers were only constant 60k. Although DreamHack is one of the largest tournaments in the world so maybe I guess but unlikely :/

You're thinking of Stockholm Invitational, not Dreamhack Winter. Also, the Invitational had 2 different streams.

What is up with the NFL comparison? It's a draft not a game.

Still impressive just not sure why that's even mentioned.


The NFL draft gets 20-30 million viewers on television alone, it's a huge sporting event. It actually gets better ratings than the NHL and NBA finals combined, and neither is willing to attempt to compete with it during those two days.

Grats MLG on your great viewership numbers!

I'm actually curious what the TSL numbers looked like. It also had ~60k+ max viewers on the stream as far as I saw.

Actually an important part of the 22.5 million views is also, every time you refreshed the stream a new 30 sec ad would play. So without taking into account AdBlock, that's 22.5 million ad views or a combined 187,500 hours of ads viewed!

Yeah the 22.5 million obviously wasn't going to be the unique viewer count :p That would mean E-sports has already become completely mainstream. Still very, very impressive with the 450k. Although in fact, it's probably a bad thing the streams served number is that much higher than the unique viewer count. Lots of refreshing due to problems :p

The question is. How many were Starcraft II?

Starcraft II deserves to be the main event next year!

Would be interesting to see a breakdown based on game. The % of viewers that were SC2, versus Halo versus Black Ops.
