This, The number from Dreamhacks SC2 tournament in Stockholm supports this (>450k). Sc2 is really a giant in gaming streaming right now.

450k HOLY SHI-

Now THAT'S impressive.

Btw, with 22.5M streams, considering that about 20% could use add-block(me included), that's 18M advertisements through a weekend. Make it 2 cents per ads(I'm not sure, I'm just making assumptions) that's 360k dollars through a weekend.

I think its okay.

<edit>
@up
450k is a record in SC2 history afaik.


450k isn't only SC2 tho. So can't quite be called SC2 history. But still an amazing statistic. I'm really happy MLG Columbus turned out so well. MLGs are the most important SC2 events in America for sure!

One thing to consider is if you look on the MLG forums is that the Halo and CoD forums are vastly more active than the SC2...though TL might have something to do with that

Yea, looks like MLG is getting the SC2 fans for a really low price pool cost. They put more money total in the other games. The price pool goes deeper in Halo and CoD.

It might have been more than 450,000 people.
Remember, not everyone watches on a different IP. I know me and my buddies watched on one screen/internet connection.

These numbers are useless. It's cool that a meaningless number is really high, but I'd prefer some numbers that mean something.

The total unique viewers was probably about 500,000.

They said the viewers for the SC2 finals was more than the TSL finals.

Dreamhack Inv. in Stockholm had over 450 000 uniqe views, so I guess that MLG has a lot of SC2 fans watching and fewer on the other streams.



It's hard to directly compare Dreamhack and MLG as their competitions have different lineups:

Dreamhack for instance has 6 different games:

Counter-Strike 1.6
Quake Live
Super Street Fighter IV
Tekken 6
StarCraft II
Heroes of Newerth

Whereas MLG only had 3 games:

Call of Duty
Halo Reach
Starcraft II

In either case, I wasn't aware Dreamhack garnered that many unique views, this is awesome to hear! I personally can't wait to see the numbers for the Summer Dreamhack

Thats not going to happen, fighting game fans hate any corporate influence and instead prefer to stay community based. A shame really.
