Like, uniqe views are kind of a good number?

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


You are comparing the wrong thing.

The Dreamhack Inv. in Stockholm was a 100% SC2 event over one day.

no one disappointed it's just 450? I mean it's three games and three days. 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

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

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

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.



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

Why is it a bad thing that is bigger than NFL drafts?

Great news!

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.

you are wrong, check the calendar and then say it's not perfect timing to generate at least one click from an european gamer
