EPT2-3 thousand people was standing in line to watch the finals, 1,2 got in. They need a much bigger stage for SC2. Time to brainstorm before Dreamhack Winter!

Sc2 was probably around ~1.2mill Huge numbers, love to see so many people watching. Well that would give cs + quake+ hon 0.1 mil unique views.. which clearly isn't realistic. Got any source on that 1.7 mil for LoL? I think thats a little to much and that its more than 3 million in total btw. To topic, epic epic epic!  So nice to see esports going in a cool direction! HUGE congratz to dreamhack for hosting an awesome event, The Event. | ||

I wrote the blog post - the viewer numbers is for DreamHack Summer as a total with all of the games (Quake Live, Counter-Strike, League of Legends, StarCraft2, SF4, HoN, Bloodline Champions etc.). From sources I've heard the official stats will be released next week, and I think the StarCraft2 numbers will be really high as well as League of Legends. By comparison MLG had 450 000 unique viewers for all of their games and SC2 stood for a majority of this. | ||

HUGE congratz to dreamhack for hosting an awesome event, The Event.Yeah, it was just mentioning Sc2/LoL forgot that figured in css/quake. Then again they didn't have huge stream numbers, so it's still around that ballpark of ~1million. And yes, 1.7 is accurate for LoL. http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2011/06/lolseason1-1million/ | ||

And yes i know monday was bad for US. But not that many matches was played monday, and I don't think that many people wait until the RO8 to watch, in an event like DH on a weekend. Actually if i remember correctly, there were more viewers saturday night than at the finals. Impressive number nontheless. Really looking forward to Anaheim number too, now with the Columbus hype. | ||

I think you are making stuff up, this is not a blog from Dreamhack, and if you read the chart you can see that MLG was bigger in social media than GSL super tournament. MLG is mentioned as the only tournament outside Korea that gets anythin close to Dreamhacks figures, wow what a sly dig. | ||

DreamHack is something so unique as a Swedish pride. It’s something unique that the whole world looks at – it’s might even a national symbol that Sweden should be proud about." So much Swedish pride ... | ||

MLG is mentioned as the only tournament outside Korea that gets anythin close to Dreamhacks figures, wow what a sly dig. Ermm in my English this is a " sly dig " @ MLG when they say; Today there is no eSport event outside South Korea that are in the same league as DreamHack. The only one close is Major League Gaming in US, but they still have a few games and the live streaming numbers are not on par with DreamHack yet – the Swedish Pride is still dominating. Saying they are the biggest eSport event outside South Korea? More viewers than MLG? And that Sweden is still dominationg ^_^ ermmm read between the lines? Im all for them with friendly comeptition BUT i would not ever like them to get angry with eachother and they start having events on similar times and they start dividing the players up between MLG and DH. The reason they had so many viewers this time because it was literally a GLOBAL range of SC2 Superstars that turned up for that side of the tournament (Not sure about LoL). | ||
