That's quite a number. Things are looking very good for MLG and ESPORTS!

As already stated, the number is very nice, but you can't make much of it unfortunately. During those three days with refreshing and switching the streams, I might have around 300 stream views.

I'd like to know total number of unique viewers and peak number for SC streams.

Not to be a Debbie downer, but are these views unique? Otherwise, it's probably 10,000-20,000 people refreshing everytime the stream locked up or lagged out.

Nonetheless, it was an impressive weekend and event. I was so glad to be able to watch all of it with no regrets of dishing a weekend away, it was truly spectacular!


The same conditions apply with the NFL thing, but yet they had 11 million less views.
Its still pretty damn impressive.

good job MLG!!!!!


Nice try, the comparison is a bit of a stretch.

Big numbers :O)
Shame I don't actually understand it
22 million different people watching it (seems far to high)
or 22 million times people loaded a stream ?

Dunno about anyone else but I watched both Starcraft steams at the same time often refreshing and I switched between all 4 streams in breaks in play.

Anyway with numbers like that even if you /10 the final number and suggest that is would be the average amount of refreshes per person we are still talking total number of people in the millions

I guess with these numbers we know why sundance was optimistic about having a free HQ every MLG. LOL it will pay for itself and more! 2011 is the year of MLG.

Note that 22mill views even with refresh means 22million advertisements played because switching stream and resolution is an ad.

i do wonder myself. i know i had at least 2 stream going maybe even 6 at a time in my house with it playing on all the diff rooms in my house. Also it did have to be refreshed a lot when it would black screen and just sit there.

I don't think these are unique visitors :s

I mean, 22.5 million visitors watched 2.2 million hours? The average person watched way more than 6 minutes each.

Haha wow I'm almost more impressed that the NFL draft got 11 million views...

Still though, 22 million of anything is great for mlg and sc2, even if that was millions of refreshes.

Maybe they're recounting a stream view each time a commercial ended...

Doing a little math...

I'm too lazy to look up the exact schedule, but let's assume there were 8 hours of stream for each of the three days. (It was more, I'm pretty sure, but some of it it near the ends I'm also sure had much lower viewership.) There were 4 streams between the three games... So that's 3x8x4=96 hours of streams. If that to 2.2 million hours of video seen, then average viewership is something like 2.2mil/96, or about 23k.

On top of that, I'm willing to be a lot of starcraft viewers had two streams open. So average viewership is probably below 23k per stream. It's good, and maybe starcraft was substantially above average, but it's totally in line with TSL, NASL, and other pretty normal starcraft events. Nothing that surprising here. (On the other hand, if this is a huge record for MLG, I'm willing to bet that their focus on starcraft only increases.)

Stream views is just numbers for advertisers IMO, doesn't really say that much.

well there is one ad which might not have helped much the product and probably worsened it ... :p

22.5 million streams sounds HUGE, but I wonder how many unique viewers really tuned in. If it only was 1% (which equals 225.000 Viewers) this would be a tremendous succes and still leaves room for growth. Keep up the good work MLG.
keep it deep! @zulison

I know that I switched back and forth a lot between red and blue trying to figure out what was going on at any time.
