As long as MLG hides their numbers on the streams i dont really believe any of those numbers, especially as MLG only releases info when they say their have broken records etc.

Be 100% transparent or those numbers aren't worth anything.

Transparent? lol, that'll never happen. That's just bad business. Not to mention there may be legal issues depending on who tracks it/what their agreement is.

Probably because of LoL for the large increase.

Also, it's unnecessary and detrimental to "twist" facts into some ridiculous trivia. It's obvious you're trying to make the actual numbers "look" bigger than it really is. Most of us can see that. Don't play dumb.

"5.4 million hours of 4.7 million viewers = 616 years...of one person"

Another trivia: Despite having more than 36 hours of content, the average view time per viewer was just over 1 hour

"4.7 million is more than the population of select countries...that are small"

"437,000 online viewers = 8.5 Yankee stadiums...totally ignoring that we're comparing online viewers vs. actual spectators"

Another trivia: "20,000 spectators over 3 days = average of 13% of Yankee stadium per day for 3 days"

That said, congrats on having a record session from the previous.


Sadly, they are misleading comparisons like usually...

So are these real or bloated numbers? I ask because recently I learned that US events count it differently and add up numbers for every day so they end up with huge, fake total.

Are those 20k spectators unique or mostly counted 3x the same guys? Similarly, is the 4.7M total unique over all three days or just added from separate day counts?

They don't count people that come in, they count the amount of passes sold, obviously.


No they count everyone every time they go in atleast when they were discussing it on a rakaka show Sundance responded to it on twitter confirming it.

So if the event is three days and people come there each day same person they're counted 3 times.

Amazing numbers. Congrats MLG. Anaheim was definitely a sick event. As for viewership breakdown, Slasher said on Lo3 that we might get a game by game breakdown. I think sc2 did pretty well at this event. The hype really grabbed the communities attention and the tweets saying they shat on every record came when the kespa stuff was going on. Probably didn't beat LoL, but sc2 should have held its ground

all that matters (for people investing in esports anyway) is that the numbers are growing to previous events ^^

Nice for MLG, but 4700000 unique viewer with only 430000 as peak sounds a bit weird to me.
How many people just flashed by for 5 minutes and quickly switched it of? :-/

edit: just saying that "unique viewers" is an incredibly bloated number, people should rather look at peak or average viewers.


Indeed, would be nice to see a per game split as they had a lot going on.

How is transparency bad for business? Sure they can chose the numbers they release to the public, but at the end of the day their cash flows won't change.

What this REALLY shows is that New Zealand needs to step it up. Even ESPORTS is better than you now.
