I must say that I did have some freezing issues with the stream, but it wasn't overwhelming and I can understand the amount of traffic produced by an event like this. From the sounds of it, investing in an HD pass would be a good idea too. ^_^ | ||

Congrats to MLG for the good numbers, but as mentioned above I also had to refresh the stream after every commercial brake, due to the stream freezing after said break. Hopefully the next MLG will be even more successful for both players and organizers. | ||

But they have to grow for the right reasons not how they can manipulate their sponsors and fans. I have an extremely hard time to believe that MLG Anaheim had 20 000 visitors while DreamHack Summer 2011 had 12 475. How is those 20 000 counted? Event pass is x3 and every day pass added on top? These questions grows at least in my head when you use numbers in a way that suits you the best. People in this thread BELIEVES that 35 million people watched MLG Anaheim, why you ask? Because that is the number MLG what everybody to see, even though it means nothing at all. The difference is that you have Uniques per stream and Unquies in totalt, at DreamHack it was like +20 different streams. Absolute is also absolute, so it didn't matter if someone was all 20 different streams No sorry mate, LoL was not included in those numbers as first of all it was run on own3d and also that it wasn't a DreamHack Tournament. Riot ran that event by them self in the exhibition area at DreamHack. I guess it feels good to try to spread false numbers, guess that will be the truth too =D Thanks for clearing that up and no I wasn't trying to spread false rumors. If you read my opening sentence I clearly state I BELIEVE. Either way I don't really have any desire to continue this conversation with you any further. Thanks for clearing up the LOL numbers though that was news to me. | ||

I understand that this is the Internet and a lot of people want to sound cool and criticize everything, but how about some of you become less ignorant and more supportive of the growth of our amazing sport. Remember, MLG doesn't HAVE to continue improving their online stream quality for spectators tourney after tourney, but they choose to for the good of the scene and for the continuing support of their viewers. Be grateful. | ||

MLG is currently the best chance that the U.S. ESports scene has at matching the popularity of Esports in Korea.

Be grateful. because they lie. if they wirte it this way, people could think they had 35 million viewers and obvious they had not. You say: " but the lie help support esport, so dam you that you say they lie...." Oo | ||
