A few of their players catch crap for results, but EG certainly is a team with several players who are capable of taking 1st place at major events, at anytime. Clearly their entire team makes serious effort to create tons of content, and get eyes on their sponsors. This is EXACTLY what pro players are supposed to be doing regardless of results. You could almost say the job description of a pro gamer is to "get eyes on their sponsors in a positive manner" I think pro teams should do even more. Very large sponsor logos on team shirts, constant mentioning of their sponsors (especially sponsored equipment they use!) and overall make as many podcast appearances and to as many interviews as possible. When not playing but present at events, they should have hats on with clearly visible sponsor logos, so every time a camera is put on them a camera is put on their sponsors. These should be the norm, there is no shame in doing your job well! I would not be surprised to see more teams named after their sponsors. This will fuel the growth of the industry. You want corporate executives who are considering sponsoring esports to say "these kids get it". EG is doing it better than the rest, but even they could turn it up a notch. In the end the teams that do this will be the ones who last the longest, have the deepest talent pool, and have the proper resources to support every aspect of their players needs. You sound like you're having some sort of religious experience. All hail the sponsors! | ||

MaximusBlack I'm not surprised. His stream is very neat, but his playstyle is so irritating, probably the one and only thing keeping his viewer ship at where it is. MarineKingPrime's stream makes me cry TT ReplayKing ftw. | ||

Honestly he's one of the smartest players i've ever seen, really analytical and very honest with himself. Also a good attitude. I'd watch Axslav over anyone, love when he's on. | ||

If you are talking about only the +/- side of the top 50 list, then this month there has been a 2707 average viewer increase. If you are talking about the total numbers of the top 50 list, there were 68362 in June, and 68609 in July. That is a 247 average viewer increase. I don't know where all of this blind negativity is coming from. I know tournament numbers are down, but these aren't. Sorry to disappoint you. | ||

Essentially, if each streamer showed ads equally, it'd show who is making the most money from streaming (although there are a few other variables present).

I don't know where all of this blind negativity is coming from. I know tournament numbers are down, but these aren't. Sorry to disappoint you. The #1 rank viewers decreased this month. In May, the #1 spot was 6844. In June, the #1 spot was 6936. In July, the #1 spot was 5952. May and June were also both a race between Stephano and Idra for the #1 spot. This month, Stephano dropped out and we have a bit of a drop-off at the very top to Thorzain at 4713 for 2nd place. If you very quickly look at the list, it's very easy to overemphasize the first spot and get the wrong impression like grapesludge probably did, but it's good that you noticed his error and pointed it out. | ||

Apart from thorzain though, EG players don't get many good results nowadays. | ||
