That's not concurrent viewers. 181,000 concurrent viewers means you have a lot more in total. (not sure what it would land on though)

You are not comparing it correct. MLG stats are concurrent viewers, not unique viewers. MLG had 181,000 people watching it at the same time at its peak.
If I read it correctly that's not Unique viewers which should way much more (My guess is slightly above 1M).
+ Props to MLG for releasing some real relevant stats this time and not only stream views!

That's unique viewers, MLG is talking about unique concurrent viewers, which dreamhack did not announce. They did however announce concurrent viewers (they didn't specify whether it was unique or not) and that was 179,000... 2000 short of MLG's 181,000.
edit: lol, 3 posts in a row correcting the poor guy 
edit again: 4...

Yeah, the post does say
Concurrent viewers, highest peak: 179,446
So it was still pretty close, would be interesting to see full stats for Orlando like dreamhack did.

Wasn't the LoL stream 200,000 alone or something ridiculous like that?

That release from DreamHack includes every game except LoL.
If you combine the both you have appr. 3M UV for all DreamHack games.

That's great news, Orlando did not disappoint, truly a stupendously sick event.

I'm pretty sure they've been accepting paypal for quite some time now, as I bought my gold membership with it 3 weeks ago or so.
I'm glad that they finally got that added, as I already wanted to buy premium since before Dallas but couldn't because of stupid credit card only.

I've never bought a gold membership for MLG before... I might buy it for Providence.
|
That's fantastic! Congratulations to MLG for continually improving and showing great games, results, and commentary! They deserve all this 
And just think... MLG Providence is going to dwarf Orlando's records! :D
|
This is excellent news for SCII! :D
Can't wait to see it in ESPN! xD
|
I think the really impressive figure there is not the online streaming numbers, but the 15,000 people that attended in person. This is starting to border on the numbers you might pull for an arena based sport like basketball or hockey. Very cool!
Especially since gamers are usually so averse to the mysterious "outside" 
|
I hope to see their rules/format start to reflect their status as a leading esports event!

Maybe it depends what country you are from? I also paid with pay pal.

Oh boy, here we go.
I'm actually really glad MLG is growing like crazy, you never saw crowd shots of the WoW crowd. Mostly because there was never a crowd.
I'm so proud.

For me the Stream was crystal and was as intense as a tournament could get! (Minus the finals -.-)
HELL YEAH MLG!
|

|
