Not even every german has broadband internet, so its a long way to go here. The overall number of people who bought and played SC2 here is probably the highest in Europe, but 95% probably doesn't even played one MP-Game and never watched any Pro-Games. | ||

Thought sc2 was nearly dead over here, guess I'll have to search better The SC2 competition is dead here, but you don't have to be good at Starcraft to watch GSL. You'd be surprised how many Australians tune in. Tasteless was. EDIT: And when I say dead, I mean that in a relative sense. Can't forget all the good people who help boost gaming infrastructure over here! | ||

Does Gom have chinese casters or do they watch the english stream? I hope to see the rise of many pro players from China the coming years The distribution of pro players is still so concentrated. Like Sweden has so many pros while the other Scandinavian countries have just a few. For me as a European who doesn't know better, South Korea and Japan are quite similar countries. Hi tech, into gaming, hard workers. But still I know no Japanese pro players and 100s of Koreans. Same with Singapore, India, Maleisia etc etc Still so much to gain there for sc2 =) | ||

On the other hand: MLG Columbus: http://www.complexitygaming.com/news/2828/# 22.5 Million in a weekend(non-unique) vs 50 Million all year (non-unique). It's really not THAT impressive, rather in the line of thought. But one really needs unique viewers to make any sense off of all this. | ||

50mil in 6 months is however not bad for GSL, 5 events. 10mil per event, ~20 days of broadcasting per event is ~500 000 views per day. If they count the GSTLs I guess it's less. | ||

It's identical to the English cast except they have their own version of Tastosis casting. The cast is about 3-4 minutes late because they've got to edit it and stick their own stuff in. Tastosis is still much much better  | ||

MLG was 3 day event ( 12 hours per day ) with very good hours for NA + EU. GSL for EU is at 11am ( school / work hours ) for NA its a middle of the night and still it got so many views. I guess, they dont count VODs. | ||
