Based on the response from Eclypsia, it seems pretty legit...threads like these are pretty unfair because people read the title, throw Eclypsia under the bus, and move on with their day having never bothered to read any possible rebuttle. It's like a smear campaign in politics, the truth doesn't really matter, it's the negative headline you want to put out there.

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,

EC is the embodiement of what you could describe as "shady". Weird PR statement and moves, players and sponsors not sticking with it for long, cancel tournament date without prior notice(because of an unrelevant french political debate).
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 hope none of the people posting against EC a lot in this thread use Adblock. Because that's no more morally acceptable than what you claim EC has done.

Anyone able to do a proper translation of the EC statement? I'd be interested in seeing what they said in a way that was closer to the source.

LOL Isn't it views regardless? I understand its not ethical but they are putting themselves out there for their advertisers right? o_O?

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.

I use adblock and it is still visible to me, so the adblock theory is out the window. I think that maybe EC may have changed things around and suddenly made it visible with autoplay/mute due to this thread. Last night when I checked, it was visible with autoplay but no mute. Now it is autoplay with mute.

This is actually a pretty cool marketing strategy. People are really just flipping their shit because it's Eclypsia.

It isnt marketing if nobody sees what youre marketing. It is fraud.

Indeed.


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.

You just said a couple of posts above that the stream is "visible" so why now you say that nobody sees the stream?

Ok so if I go on one of this websites to see for exemple funny video, there is a "commercial" of eclypsia running their stream. (it would be not visible for adbloker users)

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.

I post saying how I see nothing wrong with what they are doing and get called a troll and receive a warning. Hate how the community just hates on a team and is so quick to condemn them. Wish reddit and TL would not be so fast to grab the pitchforks.

What would be the point of doing this, given that the advertisers apparently know about it? Just for big viewer numbers?

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.
