I really don't know why more people don't watch the event. Good casters, top quality games, excellent player list, and excellent production. Also, only 66 subs means a great chance to win stuff. 1+% chance to win 10 days in FXO house is cool. Also, it's awesome that Boss posted the numbers, I hope after this thread more people will watch and sub so that we can get more in the future.

P.S. Early congrats to marineking for winning FXO invitational series #5!

I'm not sure I can adequately explain why but I don't really watch any team organised tournament. I'd much rather watch tournaments that are independently organised either because I just may not be a fan of the particular host team or just that a lot of the time the hosts put all their team in it automatically. The exception for me was the EG masters team tournament just because there was no alternative team tourney at the time.

Sometimes it just feels more like an advertising exercise than a "real" tournament. Obviously these reasons may be irrational and I haven't given it a great deal of thought anyway but never the less I just don't enjoy them as much.

I'm Happy to be one of those 66 Subscribers. But wow, only 66 people. It's only 4.99. And they are some great games to watch.

On a side note, The raffles are only for Subscribers who are "on-line" at the time of the drawing. I can rarely watch live QQ. I would of subscribed raffle or no raffle. But I would of loved to get in on some of that raffle action too somehow.


Hey,

We actually don't require you to be on-line at the time of the drawing. We have a complete list of subscribers Twitch.tv accounts thanks to twitch's awesome system. If your not on-line we will contact you

This invitational event is definitely one of my favorite new tournaments. The major highlights of course are the great players and the format. I also like the feel of the overall production mostly due to the FXO team bumpers telling us we're watching FXO TV. If I had one complaint I'd say that said bumpers are a bit lower in production quality than they should be (probably due to whatever camera was used, but I'm not an expert on that kind of thing).

Anyway, I'll keep watching as long as you guys keep streaming.

Hey all, not trying to be a stick in the mud but just want to remind everyone that we promoted the FXO event to the TwitchTV front page, which has a history of adding 10's of thousands of uniques within a short hour or two.

This is important in the overall revenue calculations because promoted views do not receive advertisements and do not generate ad-revenue. This comes into play for both CSL and FXO, but Xeris I think its a bit more relevant for you cuz we had you promoted for a good portion of the CSL event.

Thanks for the tip, ben. This is news to me.
Thank God and gunrun.

Would you mind breaking down the 3.5k production costs as well? Just curious to know. I'll understand if you don't want to though.

Production costs are only casters + graphic designer.

Note that unstable is FXOpen staff, not specifically e-sports, so his cost is not included in it.

Can only speak for myself and everything sounds/sounded awesome but I simple didn't know that the tournament was actually going on for some reason.

I am unsure of your CSL LAN. But we broadcast for 48 hours straight.


Ooh, welp that could be it then, but still I'd imagine you guys have a higher CPM rate than the avg featured stream. Could be wrong tho


I wonder if the higher-than-expected CPM can be a result of that 24-hour ad cycle as explained by Kevin previously,

- Frequency Cap - High paying advertisers usually only allow companies to show their ad 1-3 times per day to a unique viewer. This is to prevent over-exposure of their brand and ensure higher performance. Frequency caps can be as low as none (as in they will allow a company to show their ad as many times as possible) or 1 per day. The ones you see over and over are usually the lower paying CPM ads.


http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=300563

Since FXOpenIS is generally the first show of the day for most viewers. Perhaps they get a higher than normal share of the high value CPMs compared to the CSL lan?
Thank God and gunrun.

I think an update will be great now that the MLG drama is raging on
So please FXOBOSS if you would share the final numbers now that the tournament is over.
