This is really cool! I think you should definitely keep everything there but I think the overall ranking should be based off total views, avg view * hours. Right now it's too much a popularity contest. Don't get me wrong Stephano and Idra got a lot of viewers and it's great to see that but I feel people like Hui and ForGG and Dragon should be getting more "praise" since they are streaming for 200+ hours but aren't getting highly ranked just because they aren't as well known.

I instantly understood from the topic that this was your stuff again. I love it! I am curious about something though, why don't you try to add during what hours they stream as well? As I'm watching the list I'm curious to whether Stephanos huge average actually comes from him living in Europe and streaming during hours that the Americans do not. I don't exactly know how you could do this, but I think it would be a cool feature! Anyway! Keep the amazing job up!

It should be noted that Catz, VINES, ForGG, and Spanishiwa are not new. Catz changed his tag from col. to ROOT, VINES went from oGs to Empire and ForGG went from oGs to teamless. Spanishiwa is listed as Quantic on April and May and he didn't change his name so I don't really get why he's listed as new here. Maybe he was listed as VileSpanishiwa in April?

Catz lost 952 viewers and went from #15 to #29
VINES gained 143 viewers and went from #32 to #30
ForGG lost 246 viewers and went from #24 to #31
Spanishiwa gained 109 viewers and went from #43 to #34

Hmm, you're right. My script should have taken that into account, but apparently it didn't. Let me go bug-hunting, I'll update the table accordingly.

EDIT: Fixed. ~~At least the HTML table.~~ Thanks for bringing this up! Going to look into the Spanishiwa weirdness now.

EDIT 2: Alright, the other one was my bad. The table for April is wrong, as it does not exclude people streaming for less than 2.5 hours, while the comparison table does. Spanishiwa only streamed 1.5 hours in April. Updated the April table now, too.

The fact that Axslav is #49 makes me a little sad

Such an amazing streamer and player.

Also, honestly, shout out to MaximusBlack for streaming almost 150 hours.
Dragon over 200 hours ... crazy ...

Hey, excellent work, Conti! Very interesting to see the fluctuation from month to month. I assume it is for reasons already mentioned, better weather, exams, D3 being released.

Great feature for Team Liquid having this sort of information.

Wouldn't the general decline be caused by the increase of tournaments? Just saying... You stream while a tournament is going on, you don't get many viewers...

Axslav deserves much more.

Guys, give him a chance if you haven't already, you won't regret it

look at all that EG near the top, well done by their players/recruiting/whatever.

Stephano and IdrA, man it's crazy how much of a following IdrA has that he's competeing with the top foregeiner for viewership when his results are nowhere near as good. I like both of them though so it's cool to see this rivalry over stream views.

His tournament results aren't that good, but his level of play is. And his stream reflects his play.

Meh, sort of pointless to just count after average viewer. Whenever you put on your stream while it isn't prime-time, you're actually losing placements in this list which doesn't make much sense.

Maybe some of those who stopped watching, like me, is so used to having a professional caster now..like a tournament view with both sides of the players and casters with great knowledge and chemistry. But people have been playing D3, hope those viewers come back to SC2 streams.
