If you had/have an issue with the way Eclypsia is doing things, there's better ways than making a public message on TL calling them cheaters...You could raise a discussion and probably even contact Eclypsia directly. Eclypsia meme competition was stupid though, glad someone got fired over that...the april fools thing was blown wayyy out of proporation by some touchy people around here though. I personally found that kinda funny. Cheers, Ramone | ||

Now that the SC2 community is reluctant to associate with them or even look at their stream or contents, they are trying to get a higher base of viewers for their contents even if the target audience has no interest in what they offer. Most of this audience will not invest time in the gaming community and even less in the SC2 community in the long run. But EC doesn't care they just want to artificially boost their "look how much people are interested in us numbers" so that they can maybe score some audience from people not knowing EC or how they do what they do and their history. Numbers of views, subscribers, and interest from the public is EVERYTHING internet wise, what would prevent to use the numbers they bought to advertise themselves to sponsors or get help to organize events that they would represent. The last thing I want to see is a company that doesn't care about players, tournament or engagements they talk about and is just on the Esport scene to try to make profit no matter what means they can use. | ||

I wasn't able to find it on the aAa website (boolean errors) or on the Eclypsia website period. I can give it a shot if I can find it. Although if that Google translate is any indication its mostly fluff. I just want to see if they mentioned daily motion anywhere in the release since they're the only ones that matter when it comes to the implications for the advertiser. | ||

Since the departure of fan-favorites like Desrow and Scarlett people hate Eclypsia for anything they do. You have to know that Eclypsia is a team run by people who have no experience and no knowledge of e-sports, hence a lot of stupid moves, but there's nothing shady about them. | ||

Whereas I am not on their website and not interested in their stream, I count for one viewer. Neither dailymotions, nor annoncers /sponsors (who paid Eclypsia, according to the number of their viewers) know that. It pretty seems to be cheating to me. | ||

That's assuming the advertisers really did know. If not then hit inflation is fraud, much like click fraud. | ||

I don't know much about advertisement and all the rules that are involved with it. So can you please explain to me why this is fraud and why this is so much different from any other ad on websites (expect that this one is a stream instead of a picture). In my eyes this is just a way (maybe not the best) to expose your team to a bigger audience, and so also your team, sponsors and e-Sports as a whole. I just don't see what is wrong with it.
