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. May true for the first two days but on the final day most of time both stream are running the same game there is no need for switching streams. The high point of viewers usually come from the final of the third day. | ||

It is the National Championship, but the most popular players (Idra, Huk, Naniwa, MMA, etc) won't probably be playing until later Saturday due to the way the tournament is formatted. I wonder if Providence can bring people in with the open bracket play for most of the weekend. Don't forget that the MLG Global invatational Finals are on Friday of Providence. | ||

I wouldn't be so sure about that unless you can verify it, it's at 4-5am in EU on a work/school day so barely any europeans are watching the finals. Live that is. | ||

So you count as a single viewer. | ||

Either way i still think theres something sketchy with the way MLG comes up with these viewership numbers. It does rival many TV shows/channels. Last season of TUF(the ultimate fighter) could not even hit 1 million concurrent unique viewers (it's the only show I know numbers for) And that was with a SHITLOAD of promotion/marketing and even bringing in Brock fucking Lesnar. And thats TUF. Think about some other random shows that nobody gives 2 shits about. | ||

I do believe that this was their most viewed event as of yet and that there were quite a lot of people watching on championship sunday, there's just no way that they are competing with traditional television. | ||

The quad view probably counts as 4 unique viewers, even though you are probably only watching one at a time. At the same time it is simply bullshit to post "refresh numbers" since that mostly points towards the streams having problems, thus people having to refresh...

I don't think you understand what "unique" viewers means. | ||

Once again a Swede can't believe that MLG puts up numbers that rival DH. Its not just numbers for SC2 either. Its Halo and CoD. SC2 is the vast majority though. | ||

I don't understand how you can argue with numbers. It's not like MLG lies with these articles. Also, it isn't just SC2, sure the majority of the viewer are for SC2 but there's a decent percentage that watch Halo and CoD. | ||

"placing MLG viewing in the same ballpark as traditional TV viewing numbers" Ratings for last night Wpg Jets - Tor Maple Leafs tilt on TSN. 1,399,000 viewers – peaked at 1,937,000. 1.9 Million people watched the Leafs vs Jets last night on TSN. This is only in Canada. You say 180,000 peak for world wide broadcast in in the same ballpark as traditional TV? Your stats nor claims make any sense. | ||

Fuel TV averaged 7k. A Leafs/Jets game is gonna be a big draw. | ||
