I dare say that Starcraft 2 is still much bigger outside of Korea than inside, and that the large majority of stream viewers are non-Koreans, though I have no data for this. It might be interesting to graph the times the Koreans stream to see if they stream at hours convenient for Koreans or us Foreigners. | ||

Koreans score low indeed,relative to their fame and skill. Not sure why, maybe foreigners like to see foreigners more then koreans, it can also have to do with the time at wich they are streaming. Koreans often stream when its morning in europe and manny fans are at school/work? Personally i always go Polt/Mkp/Stephano/Idra first and if none of them are streaming i look at other streams. Destiny still doing well. Somewhat suprised idra still tops stephano, but idra is still IDRA It definatly cant be for his music choise lol. | ||

(Large version also here) Note that the largest spike, around 3pm KST, translates into 11pm PDT, not too bad a time for the fans in the west coast to watch streams, while the other spike, around 2am KST, translates into 7pm CEST, a very convenient time for us Europeans to watch streams. So, yeah, it looks to me like the Koreans do cater more to us foreigners than to the Korean fans at home, most likely because there's simply a whole lot more of foreign fans than Korean fans out there. *MarineKing, SK.MC, Liquid`HerO, MVPDongRaeGu, TSLPolt, SlayerS_BoxeR, Liquid`TaeJa, oGsForGG, ST_Bomber, IM_LosirA, FnaticMoon, SlayerS_Alicia, oGsVINES, SlayerSCoCa, NSHS_jjakji, SlayerS_Cella, NaDa, EGJYP, SlayerS_Puzzle, Liquid`Zenio, ByuNPrime (Apologies if I missed one!) | ||

So I took all the Koreans from the top 50* and plotted their streaming hours by time of day. Behold!

Interesting graph. I guess it would be possible to get confirmation from asking someone like Polt, or Hero whether Korean pros specifically target foreign audiences or whether they just stream at hours that are convenient for themselves. From what I have learned from Liquid players staying at OGS House and from Artosis' interviews, Korean pro-gamers stay up past 2am as normal practice and rise late at noon/early afternoon. The hours they keep are certainly not regular office hours in Korea. | ||

I guess the attention to starcraft2 isn't as high yet and the way RIOT handles esports and community is much better than blizzard. I think if blizzard would care a lot more the viewers would increase greatly. | ||
