MLG gets me hyped every time, and it keeps me hyped from the first to the last minute. + Show Spoiler + It is hard to compare to TV though, because TV station are limited to 1 country mostly, unless you have a satellite but (in Belgium) almost nobody has that. I think the main reason MLG is so hyped is how its always 1-2 months till the next stop and ppl are more excited how their favorite player will move up on the MLG rankings and the addition of the GSL partnership. Of course i could be wrong don't crucify me. | ||

If you win, praise your opponents. If you lose, congratulate the winner. That is the only way a victory gains meaning, if you lose to someone who sucks: what does that make you? We should be glad that MLG and DH is showing great form, despite a long, arduous season this autumn. That DH would get less viewers than MLG Providence isn't surprising for two reasons. 1. Providence was the weekend before DH and MLG was extremely tiring (not complaining) 2. DH had two weekdays instead of one and fewer koreans (a lot which sadly declined in the last minute) | ||

Also find it kinda cool that sweden is in top 5 at watching, since we are pretty few people, but seem to have a very large fanbase. | ||

Neither company sees it as a rivalry, we're just constantly bombarded with questions/comments that attempt to create one. Esports events failing is bad for everyone, so we're happy for their success! | ||

It's a flawed comparison as MLG's streams are readily available and easily accessible (for free) to people all around the world, while US cable channels obviously aren't. To make it worse I guess for this comparison they only used the US viewer numbers for the cable channels, whilst using the entire viewership for their own streams? Also, how do they know the ages of people watching their streams? | ||

(I'm assuming it means average # of viewers over any given 15 minute period, which would include times like 4am when almost no one would be watching) | ||

To compare DH and MLG is, as you say, not really correct. DH is a made into a culture event in sweden, they don't work with a 100+ staff to market, sell, produce and create content for them. They create a lan where people can create stuff, play and watch games being played. They have also got 2-3 guys working with esports, making it a new part of Dreamhack. I would love for Dreamhack to go all in with esports, but that is not what the Dreamhack brand stands for to 22 000 people visiting every Dreamhack. MLG does what it is supposed to do, and have done great 2011. I hope they finally have found a business model that can support them for many years to come. In a perfect world MLg and Dreamhack could do esports wonders togheter, MLG doing the esport content at Dreamhacks. As Dreamhacks CEO said on Lo3, everyone is welcome to make stuff happen at Dreamhack. Perhaps that might even be true for MLG. | ||

It's a cultural event that supports the general concept of a "Computer Festival" So dreamhack aren't actualy spending all their resources on promoting Esports, to compare MLG with Dreamhack is like comparing oranges with apples. | ||

MLG and Dreamhack (and others like IPL) have had great years, why do you have to bicker about it? American businesses like to manipulate statisitics? Businesses EVERYWHERE have and will continue to do as such, if it helps them make money. One of the core ideas that defines a business is that it should exist to make money. For every 1 nerd bickering about meaningless statistics there are 10 or more people actually impressed/influenced by said statistics. With that said, I'm happy that SC2 is growing and MLG and DH are two of the major platforms that will help it do so. | ||

3+ hours per weekend, I'm sure there are some of us that pretty much have it on from Friday 5pm --> Sunday 9pm (less sleeping time) 175 countries 240M peak concurrent viewers Interesting to see which new sponsors they can get for 2012 Circuit, and what the prize pool will look like. | ||
