Or even make them want to spread the word more to friends? I guess it's debateable whether encouraging that kind of rivalry is good in the long run, but it might be. Also it could help StarCraft fans have a lame sense of accomplishment if the next MLG's SC2 stream has bigger numbers than this one. Might be good for future comparison. It would probably encourage them a tiny but. But they should already be promoting it and getting their friends to tune in. Whenever a big event is on, I open my IM and spam a quick X tourney, watch it because of Y and the link to it. But to the point, it would just give people ammunition to compare the streams and games and start sheeping around. So many people already seeing the numbers, whatever it means it's probably good, and then saying we want more prizemoney! wtf is that about. The prizemoney will come, it's better allow them to invest like they are doing currently, so it will have grown a nice following which will allow them to do things like that in the future. As for wheat's qoute I'm right behind that. We shouldn't look down on these games, or treat them poorly, or compare. Support them like you would support SC2. It can only strengthen ESPORTS as the games build upon eachother in a way. There are probably quite a few outdoor sports/team sports that are relatively new. I think part of the reason they can get established and grow comfortably is because they are similar to many of the ones that already exist and are popular. I can see that being the same with games. | ||

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. Yeah but thats the problem, 30 million people watch it on national TV. Its stream is practically irrelevant. It's just an odd disingenuous comparison on many levels. I guess beating anything with the letters NFL in it just sounds good | ||

NEW YORK—June 13, 2011—Major League Gaming (MLG), the world's largest professional video game league and largest provider of cross platform online videogame competition, shattered previous MLG records delivering more than 22.5 million stream views of the Columbus Pro Circuit weekend of competition, nearly double the reported 11.4 million NFL.com video streams consumed during the weekend of the 2011 NFL Draft. Viewers from 164 countries watched four live streams during the three-day, double elimination tournament online at www.majorleaguegaming.com for a total of more than 2.2 million hours of video consumed. Rebroadcasts of all Columbus Pro Circuit matches are available on MLG.tv. Yeah becuase everyone had to refresh 100 times a hour, but still impressive as hell, good to see E-Sports crushing everything else | ||
