I'm not exactly surprised by #1, but the rest does look pretty interesting. Also note that I use more accurate numbers for the viewers*hours column, specifically non-rounded average viewers numbers. thank you! although i was looking for the top 50 viewers*hours rather than just the top 50 average viewers rearranged (as i assumed you had all that data still) the difference probably only affects the bottom half of the list looking forward too seeing this every month! also, i've never heard of hui... how is he not featured if he streams that often with that many viewers? | ||

After the top 15, the changes are quite drastic, actually. As predicted, that list heavily favors lots of streaming hours over lots of viewers, with someone like gaulzi being ranked above NesTea. I wouldn't call that a fair representation of popularity, but it's an interesting list nonetheless. also, i've never heard of hui... how is he not featured if he streams that often with that many viewers? Hui is a Taiwanese player, and I think that's where his main audience is. My guess is that most of his viewers don't come from teamliquid but from other sites. He doesn't seem to participate in any tournaments outside of Taiwan either, as far as I know, so that's probably making him less interesting to the foreign community. | ||

Yeah I think so as well. He is being nice and giving fans the opportunity to play with him and stuff, but I'd rather watch him crush Korean GMs | ||

I'll probably try that out tomorrow and see what happens. (Edit: ) Actually, I think it would be more akin to sorting the table by peak viewership, and I'm not sure that's fairer, either. Why should someone who has at times a lot of viewers and at times quite few be higher ranked than someone who consistently has average viewer numbers? I just created a ranking based on viewers*hours, just out of curiosity. The previous one I provided only included the players already in the original top 50. This one includes all streamers. And the results are pretty interesting. Look for yourself. The top 15 or so streamers are as expected, but then loads of new (and at times quite unknown) names appear. And you're right, it obviously heavily favors those that stream a lot. Having someone like gaulzi above NesTea just feels so wrong. I like this one :D you should put it in the OP next month if you don't take it as your primary. Thanks again for all the work its quite fascinating ^^ | ||

They can easily get tons of viewers if they realized what viewers wanted. On June 02 2012 21:25 Smapz wrote: How come Destiny is #4 with much lower avg. viewer, peak and hours than lots of others? Because he has the 4th largest avg viewer count? | ||

But the only reason i can guess why Koreans aren't the top 10 is because they aren't as entertaining when it comes to interaction with the chat, and they stream at odd hours as compared to the rest of the world. | ||

Anyways its not like it matters much. Very interesting. One thing I think would help SC2 streamers get more viewers would be more consistency with the time they are playing everyday. Some streamers it seems you have to be lucky to catch them streaming. I know that sometimes they need to keep their builds private and stuff, but I really do feel some streamers should try to be more consistent of the hours they stream | ||
