Would love to see what was the original content of the post, kinda weird to have some innocuous statement seem to result in a ban. But anyways, those numbers are INSANE. MLG SC2 had what, 60k in its prime? So the large majority of the viewership seems to come from LoL... time to see what LoL is about I suppose :D | ||

I never once saw the LoL stream hit over 200k(though I wouldn't be surprised if it got a bit over that), and I highly doubt the SC2 stream got 150k even with GOM Player GSTL numbers added in, seeing as it peaked at about 80k on the main stream IIRC. I'm guessing they added numbers from the other streams as well? LoL got ~210-220k at some point and I believe some of the Stephano games broke 100k so I say it's entirely plausible. | ||

MLGs biggest number they had was 241k across all platforms and that included LoL. | ||

drew an all-time high of 346,000 peak concurrent online viewers, the largest-ever online viewership for an eSports event held outside of Korea. As I said a few hours ago on twitter, i would be SHOCKED if a chinese event never managed to top 350k, considering numbers i heard just for DIVINA. Basically there's no way this is true, and they should reword it to says non-asian or Western event. | ||

I think by "event" they might have meant having players phsyically at an event to play with a live stream. That's the only reasoning I could come up with. | ||

The international(a lan) should have had 1.4M viewers at one point. | ||

Currently, western esports is exclusively for people who can listen to English, sometimes there're German, French streams, but very rare. Even the Koreans don't really watch Western Tournament that much, if they watch it, they're not gonna spend 5 hours to watch it, so exhausting. People should start doing that. Instead flying in 10,000 different English casters, they should diverse to some other language too. The only bad thing about it is the number maybe high, but it doesn't impress the sponsors too much because Chinese or Asian market is still relatively small. | ||

Do we know if that was during the finals, or semifinals, or what? It says it's the biggest viewership outside Korea. Does anyone know what number has surpassed that - I'm guessing, some kind of GSL finals? | ||

Even Homestory cup had a better production and that is of course not counting the general epical awesomeness of Homestory cup. | ||

As far as I know and read somewhere, GSL had their numbers in Millions and not in hundreds of thousands of people watching. | ||

Healthy or not, it doesn't matter - IPL and MLG are direct competitors. CBSi (which owns gamespot), is a direct competitor of IGN. It's no coincidence that they would partner with MLG also a fact that is commonly missed. Is that when the esports community posts huge numbers and says growth.... Guess what that attracts? Media, hype, sponsors, which is even more growth. | ||
