So, I believe this means MLGs are doing more views than G4TV does an entire night. Or several other cable channels.

Interesting thought.

G4 is lucky to get 100,000 views a week.

Ah thanks, anyway if SC2 puts up 140kish (should be resonable) and Lol puts up 120kish (it probably will, assuming Riot adversities the event into their client again) then this is going to be demolished at Providence (assuming Lol actually works and the Riot's spectator client doesn't crash).
Go go Alliance.

The downside is that LoL viewers are used to free HD streams which MLG doesn't provide, so I'm not sure the LoL numbers for MLG will be at their usual high. Still, Providence will be a major stepping stone to eSports if all goes well.

Glad they're doing well, but hope they dont stop trying to improve. Personally I got a very much interrupted 480p stream, not an uninterrupted 720p. Pretty much every commercial had me refreshing 1-2 times because screen went black. Missed plenty of starts of games beacuse of it. Stability was much better in Raleigh.


I had the same problem for the first two seasons that I watched, when I was being a cheapskate and watching for free.

If you have $30 kickin around, you can purchase the entire year commercial-free.

Best decision I ever made. The only problems I've had were universal stream crashes that were usually fixed within 5 minutes, if not right away.

I think the MLG would do better with a larger prize pool.\n But this is great news!

I kinda feel bad for Carmac and IEM that they were up against MLG that weekend. I watched both but IEM viewers were just a sliver of the people that tuned into MLG.

The viewer numbers might actually be considerably larger than that once you take into account the rather large number of Barcrafts ongoing, which use one or two streams.

The Barcraft I was at had around 30-40 people.

Yep, these are very impressive numbers. I think it would be safe to say the vast majority are sc2 views as well.

If there wasn't a weird set of sponsor issues, you could reasonably see MLG taking over G4 for some weekends.

Oddly enough, one of the reasons that SC:BW works well on Korean TV is the Korean system for commercials is to do them in 5+ minute blocks. So you can run an entire game, then drop a bunch of commercials.

I'm not sure how it works, if I had two streams running, does that counts as two concurrent viewers? If so, the number is heavily inflated since most of us had two or more streams running at the same time except for at the end of sunday.

wow, when he tweeted that previous stream records had been crapped on, I didn't think it meant numbers this big.

181k unique concurrent viewers is respectable for a lot of tv shows with decent budgets.

no-- that will count as one unique concurrent view, but if you watch for an hour it will count as 2 hours total.
