I second this. How the hell can idrA get 10k viewers when the 2 guys above are at least twice as good as him? And notice that terran players in general get relatively few viewers. This is a general problem with the foreign scene - that people are more interested in zerg/protoss than terran. There are almost no SC2 front figures/casters on the foreign scene that play terran. Stop being so hipster and recognize the incredible skill of top korean terrans! | ||

If you want have all streams from people currently in Asia, though, that's a lot tougher to do as you'd have to keep track of who is where right now. How much overlap in time is there between say Idra's and Stephano's stream? This and similar questions could be answered with the data I gathered, though I don't know yet what the best way to present such data would be. Maybe create a graph to see on which time of the day a given player is streaming. Might be interesting to see for, say, the top 10. Are more Europeans watching streams than Americans? What about Asia? I can only say when people are watching, not from where. I have no data at all about the viewers themselves. Finding the most popular timezones to stream can lead to players optimising their streaming revenue if they stream at these particular time-slots. True, though I'd say the streamers themselves have much better statistical tools than I do, and I'd guess that those who do live from streaming their games looked into this already. Also is it possible to sort the data by days of the week. Are streams generally more popular at weekends? Are Fridays generally more popular than Mondays? That's definitely doable. Though not quite as simple as it sounds, as I'd have to default to a time zone here to differentiate the days and I have no idea which one I should pick Are total stream viewers increasing or declining That's another thing I could put in a graph. I actually also log the total current viewers as displayed on TL.net (upper right corner), so that one should be quite easy. I can see how individual streaming is great for players but is it harming tournaments streams? It's the other way around, actually. When there's a big tournament like MLG or IPL, even big names like White-Ra get very few viewers. At the same time, very few pro players stream during such events, either because they participate in the tournament or because they know it's not worth competing with it. What about data from China? I imagine they have big numbers. Any possibility of getting some of that data to compare with the rest of the Foreign scene? As I said above, I could at most order the streams by the origin of the streamers. I'm not sure there are any Chinese streamers on TL.net, though. I understand that is a lot of questions. But the rest of the thread seems to be hi-jacked by silly Idra bashing. Haha. Everything that distracts from the discussion about Idra is quite welcome.  | ||

I guess that's why Bomber won against Idra by having hellions on the right place at the right time? Overall, yeah Bomber comes out on top, but twice as good? No | ||

He is probably three times better than idrA User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Anyways.. Thanks for the great statistical information, OP! It is very interesting to see those numbers. | ||

My question about whether more Europeans watching than Americans could possibly be reworded into a time-zone question. Most European streamers are doing so in a time-period that is convenient for European/African viewers because they are in similar time-zones. If the top ten streams from European-based players have more viewers than the top ten streams from players based in the America's then that could be a measure to loosely compare whether more from Europe/Africa are watching compared to the America's. It would not be too accurate a correlation but if there is a big difference in the numbers that might mean something about geographical distribution of viewers. As for tournaments streams being harmed. I was thinking of NASL and the league part of their competition. This streams pretty much every day. I was just wondering if their viewers are significantly hit by having to compete with mostly US based player streams which operate at similar times. Anyway regardless on how you want to proceed, you deserve plaudits for the work you have already put into this. | ||

IdrA has a 32% win rate in 2012 vs. Korean Code A-S players and a few EU players. Yeah, it's that bad for IdrA, but you don't get three times from that. | ||

Thus why people with more personality attracts more viewers. | ||

Furthermore Koreans don't get as many viewers because it's easier to be a fan of a foreigner. | ||

OT: Some surprising people high up in that list but most of them were expected. Personally I don't watch streams of people that simply plays music when they play which is why I watch LoL streams over SC2 streams (even though I enjoy SC2 as a game more) because they commentate and interact with the viewers which is far more fun imo. | ||
