I watched the whole first 2 rounds of the draft, and also almost the entirety of MLG. The NFL draft was also on TV, so it's a bit of a disingenuous comparison. Still great to see so many tuned in to watch regardless. | ||

If every organization work together, blizzard included, I don't think breaking 1 million unique viewers would be too challenging. Maybe invest a little more into advertising on main stream media? (I have always thought its somewhat stupid that the esport community is trying so hard to grow and advertise sc2 while blizzard kind of just sit back and net the profits) | ||

So unless I'm missing something the average stream view lasted for about 6 minutes... I think a couple million of those views were me refreshing because the stream wouldn't switch back from prerecorded video to live events on its own. Indeed. Without exaggerating, I, by myself, must have provided at least 100 "stream views" by switching between streams, refreshing when the stream died for me, etc. | ||

22.5M streams served... over 450K unique stream viewers. We don't break out streams by titles. So basically lots of refreshing going on. As well as SC2 viewers having both red & blue streams up. | ||

There's no doubt in my mind that Halo and CoD would be towered by the enormous numbers of StarCraft 2. It's probably a very proper decision on their part. Let's just hope that the popularity of SC2 can also help with the growth of other games. The more #'s the better regardless of which game viewers are flocking to! Wouldn't revealing the individual numbers encourage fans of other games to tune in more often to help their game's numbers go up? 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. | ||

Every one of us who watched the streams and felt elated or down when our favorite players won or lost helped with the success of the event. Great thanks to the MLG people for putting together such a great tournament and much luck ahead (although it does not look like they need it). If you organize it we will come. | ||

Well MLG has been around for over 6 years now. SC2 has only been around for a fraction of that. So id say they did alright with halo as the main game. Of course they are doing better than ever now, but do not dismiss console games as nothing. | ||

Anyway, it's nice to see esports moving forward. What's the source for the DH numbers? Did they report how many stream hours were consumed? I'd be curious to know what the average amount of time each viewer spent watching the stream was. If MLG's is really in the neighborhood of 4.9 hours per unique, I imagine that'd be a hell of a selling point for potential advertisers. | ||
