that basically means that a tournament which has 100,000 viewers today, will have 3.2 million viewers in 10 years.... | ||

The highest amount of vieuwers i have recently seen was 200k people watching a lol game (wats in a name) and then we dont even count all the vieuwers, only the ones on one (western) stream So thats already doubled every year during the past 2 years? 3.2m seems like a stretch, definatly in 10 years but is it realy impossible? 100kx2^10 would be 100 million btw wich seems completely rediculous but i can easily imagine 1m vieuwers for some esports event 10 years from now | ||

I really hope this guy is right on a prediction for once... Fans of specific systems and bloggers like to give Pachter shit because he speaks his mind and doesn't sugar coat anything. If he is wrong, he will be the first to admit it. But he will go one step further, explain why he thought what he did and what data he missed that made him wrong. Pachter gets paid a lot of money(and works very very very hard, watch the video on his average day to see) and is right a lot of the time. He is extreamly good at what he does and is very respected in the financial industry. If he says E-sports has a future and solid growth, it means that it was worth this time to look at. That is a really good sign for Esports as a whole, because it means someone wanted(and likely paid) Pachter to look at it. He is also well respected and liked in the gaming industry for making very blunt, to the point calls. I am sure anyone running a league would love for a few hours of Mr. Pachter's time to discuss the future of Esports. | ||

A bunch of fanboys cutting together a few times Pachter misspoke into a video. They take a guy who is a lawyer training and spend the most of the time looking at market trends, effective marketing and things that have nothing to do if this PC is better than that counsel. They leave out the part where they ask a panel what the number one selling game this year will be and Pachter answers with the exact game, number of units solid, profit and projected sales until the end of the year. Per counsel and over all. Pachter is a pretty smart guy, just don't ask him to build a computer. | ||

Not a fangirl though if games would become more popular (and casual) tempts devs to become like EA. (well not the devs but their bosses) But esport can do what it wants, if games get tainted by greed, they become bad, if they are bad they are easily replaced by a small team of devs. So there is nothing to worry about for me. Even EA has something good, they keep casuals away from ruining the good games. And well everyone knows the hardware in the pcs is way better then in the ps3, but the advantage of the ps3 is that there are no differences in hardware. Well that was before microsoft ruined console games. The general rule now multi platform games use the pc. (xbox and ps3 programming is so different, making it run on both really makes the ps3 look shabby, as programming for xbox is easier but well doesn't give the output to battle the raw power of a computer). But if you explain it to casuals, of course you say that the ps3 is better, they don't need more information. When i talk to people on why multiplatforming sucks for the ps3 and explain it detailed, they get this blank look, bit of a sadistic streak of mine. | ||

Second i saw he compared it to college basketball i just deemed him a moron. Let's just say i don't foresee people feverishly filling out March Madness brackets for SC2 or LOL in the future. | ||

Edit: Oh, baseball? I guess that's a little more reasonable, but still pretty far off considering how many live spectated games are played on any given day during the season. | ||

Well it's an awful example/comparison then because the two are nothing like eachother. Even the WNBA draws far more attention than Esports as a whole. (at least in the US) edit: Just saw that he meant College Baseball, not Basketball. lawllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. That's definetely a much closer comparison, but I'd still say CB has a higher overall viewership | ||

also the learning curve is just too steep for most non-players to grasp the concept of what's going on in the game. anyways i love this game and hope the culture stays alive at least in korea. | ||
