I personally can't wait to see the numbers for the Summer Dreamhack  You are comparing the wrong thing. The Dreamhack Inv. in Stockholm was a 100% SC2 event over one day. | ||

I thought the stream quality and content would at least generate one million clicks, considering how many gamers got internet nowdays. I feel like the word of MLG could've been spread a bit better It is on bad EU/KR time. | ||

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. No - the first GSL match with Boxer broke 700k viewers http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=161872 And that's only korea - GSL international viewers were around 100k | ||

And for those hating in this thread - even if only 60-70% of these 450 000 people watched StarCraft2 it's really impressing numbers. The only comparable would be Dreamhack Invitational which had about way over 100 000 simultaneus viewers and about 400-500 000 unique viewers. | ||

Its worse than just evenings in EU. If you want to watch it, it starts at like midnight and finishes at like 6am. Which is pretty much the opposite of my sleep schedule :D. Halo used to finish at like 3am but SC2 like to last longer... So it looks like in the summer I'm messing up my sleep schedule for this :D. | ||
