The thing is, the tv numbers are actually accurate, the "unique viewers" that things like twitch/mlg generate are just crap that has in the end no real relation to the reality.


LOL

You realize that US television viewership numers are still generated mostly by ratings (Gallup-like polls for different demographics and multiplied to the population that owns a television set) as opposed to online viewership can be directly measured, down to exact geographic location and demographicaly?

Yeah, sure - TV viewership is much more accurate than online media

And yet still the estimation from TV viewers is more accurate than the "everytime someone opens the stream you get a viewers, even if he immediately goes away" system that most livestream sites uses.

I mean just go to the twitch.tv page
the some stream will autoplay, and they get a new unique viewers. Even when you wants to watch something completely different.
The Estimation is way more correct than that.

I think we can safely assume that the people buying ads on MLG and other leagues demand accurate numbers and are always on the look out for "cooked" viewer amounts. CBSi has been selling ads on the internet for years and they would not back MLG if their numbers were crap.

You also have to take that statistic a little further. The Rose Bowl isn't the draw (for the 18-24 yom) market that it once was. Overall, it still (probably) gets more overall viewers (females of all age and males over 24). Also, NA (US) advertisers will probably care that the Rose Bowl will (probably) get more 18-24yom viewers in their geographic region.



...and stream seems to have cut out for a few seconds again (half of the viewers lost instantly).

Hmm I think TV is measured by following a few people and extrapolating by statistics, while twitch can measure the real number.

edit: oh i'm slow

Its why the viewership of PBS and NPR is always through the roof, even though their real viewship is much lower.. Everyone wants to claim they listen and watch the "smart" tv and radio.

It is not that their numbers are crap, it is just that it completely senseless to compare TV viewers to the model that twitch/mlg uses.

From DH Winter 2011:

Statistics
Total views: 6,755,728
Unique viewers: 1,673,270
Peak concurrent viewers: 94,932

How can an estimation be "way more correct than that"?

Topic to come.

"Building bridges, how promoters can help each other by gathering the audiences"

http://valenciaesportscongress.com/


How about unifying all the big tournaments together and creating one world circuit?


It would be a start.

didn't they said at the start that there is a lot of different business models actually going on right now, and they pretty much all work as well as the others, it will take time before a real "winner" comes out
so they need this competition between the organization to establish the future of esport

hopefully dreamhack model wins


That's the thing, tying it altogether is much stronger. All the organizers would benefit under the model I have in mind. If they really want to make more money this is the way to go. It would be far more legit and all of them would get to host tour dates.

It fits right into their system and this would help raise their numbers.

The real hardship is more on the teams and players.
