Im pretty sure that 250k MLG was the only one with the Lol present. Sundance stated, that the second the LoL stream was turned on they had 90K ppl already tuned in...

i think sc was bigger than lol, i saw the room for lol and it was really small, but then again i wasn't actually there.

I don't doubt that LoL has more stream viewers though. I don't doubt it has more players than SC2 either, so in that way it sort of makes sense that it has more stream viewers. It's a free-ish game so it's very accessible. On the other hand people get more hype about SC2 and people seem more inclined to go to the venue for SC2 events. So LoL gets more stream views, SC2 gets more people showing up at the events.

250K was providence because the LoL stream wasnt working that weekend so they didnt get high finals numbers they typically get from it. With an actual LoL event running and with what else is probably coming than it probably could hit 500k concurrent and that would be sort of a huge deal.

based off of YT videos I've seen, the LoL room was ~20-25% the size of the SC2 room, but the important thing to note was that the LoL room was packed
I believe David Ting said that for IPL5 their focus will be on improving LoL in terms of stream production and live viewing while maintaining where they are at with SC2. So LoL is definitely going to get a bigger room in IPL5, but I'm not sure if it'll be as big as SC2's.
also, it's only a matter of time before MLG adds LoL. I think the only reason why they haven't yet is because MLG is trying to use a set of games that cover a variety of genres and gaming hardware and having SC2 and LoL on the circuit would make their event super PC-centric.
I can't imagine MLG continuing to resist the #s (live & online) that LoL can and will bring though and will eventually add LoL to MLG.

Anyone know how many viewers dreamhack or MLG has had so far?

MLG had LOL at Providence last year. Not sure why they didn't have it this Winter.

I feel like those numbers are a bit inflated-- some people probably had more than one stream open. Still, cool numbers.

Sundance said they are in negotiations to bring another title to MLG (possibly a moba) I'm wondering if everyone is just sitting on the fence to see what DOTA will do before making the decision. He has mentioned they are interested though. They would be stupid not to really, given the numbers.

I hope they'll add Tribes Ascend? Please? It's a good game with tons of fun moments and a high skill ceiling.
