i'd like to see a top 50 list arranged by average viewers multiplied by hours streamed please ♥

Here you go!

I kept the original ranks since that makes it easier to compare (also, I'm lazy). 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?

Actually, I did that, too, though it took me a bit longer since I had to change my script accordingly. 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.

Do you plane to stream a lot ? I enjoy your stream a lot, and you're show with ToD even more.

I wonder if this ranking is fair.. Are we counting effort and streaming on a daily basis for a stable number of viewers or just the other case which is stream 5 times a month, get 10k viewers? Makes me wonder who actually diserves to be on top of the ranking

You need about 135 more viewers on average to make the list (assuming overall numbers stay the same). You can do it!

People don't watch streamers necessarily for the same reasons as you do. Most people are just content watching entertaining streams, by streamers who interact and speak the same language as them. People like players they can relate to, too. So being a multiple GSL champion doesn't mean that much to a lot of foreigners if they can't interact with fans.


Actually for MVP's case, people wanted to see him play 1v1, but instead he played 4v4 with the viewers instead, hence why his viewer count is not as high.


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

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.

There's also an alternative version which sorts by average viewers*streaming hours. I'm not sure which is the best yet, though having Hui as #1 seems.. odd.

Both are extremely flawed. That one would only favour people who streams a lot. I think the best list would be something like, take the average viewer-number of the streamer's top 10 viewer hours of the month or something like that. Don't think that would be possible, but for now it's either punishing streamers whenever they stream off-primetime-hours or punishing streamers who don't stream regularly even tho their streams are extremely popular.

That is quite possible, actually, though my current guess is that it would barely make a difference compared to the current version. 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 ^^

I didn't realise ForGG wasn't with a team? I often go onto his stream and he seems quite confident and a skilled player, the games i've watched, granted just ladder, he wins a very large majority of them. The variety in stream viewers is pretty strange, a few thousand less on some to only a few hundred more on others. All different races + countries too.

Naturally as more top level players stream, the competition for viewers will get more intense, which will mean less viewers per individual streamer but not a decrease in total actual viewership.

Most of the Korean streams are just them playing, no webcam, no interaction, and blasting KPop. They can easily get tons of viewers if they realized what viewers wanted.

Because he has the 4th largest avg viewer count?

I agree, and im glad he has at least broken top 50 man gives free coaching sessions.

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.

Wouldn't a better ranking would be: Avg viewers/hours streamed?

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
