What does lying about such a thing mean? How does it benefit them in some concrete way? Besides obviously showing off their fake numbers to try and gain more sponsors (which is surely a big deal). Anything else?
I just get this image of the :Eclypsia team manager as Nicolas Cage from Matchstick Men

They get more ad money illegally.

Eclypsia also uploaded StarCrafts episodes on what seemed like a french version of youtube. However they did take them off after taking to them.

This is ridiculous! Can't believe thy tried to pull something like this!
That graph just shows it all.

Can't we all just play Starcraft?
We should all chip in and buy KawaiiRice a detective hat and a pipe.

This is a really interesting find, thanks for sharing. I hope their ad-partners cut them off quickly -_-

If only it was Nicolas Cage from The Wicker Man.
AAAAAAAUGH NOT THE BEES
KILLING ESPORTS WON'T BRING BACK YOUR PRECIOUS HONEY

wow.... this is almost more pitiful than a crime. I hope that twitch unpartners them quickly

Cute trick. What precisely does it do though, that makes it that bad? I get that it eats up your internet connection and that it's shady, but does it do something worse than that?
At the moment, I just view it as a cute trick that is somewhat underhanded, but doesn't necessarily do any significant damage to anyone.

I couldn't find Eclypsia's sponsors on their website...
|
Such a pathetic organization..This is absolutely disgusting.
|
Eclypsia doing shady shit?! NO FUCKING WAY!

It devalues stream advertising.

To play devil's advocate a bit, so what? Who really ends up getting hurt?

Oh. Yeah, I can see that, now. If this becomes common practice, ad revenue is going to go to hell. It'll wreck everyone's stream revenue, even if they're pulling tens of thousands.

Hmm, I don't suppose it could be construed as defrauding dailymotion/the advertisers in some way? After all, they're not actually providing what they get the revenue for.
|
hey guys what's up. From my point of view, it seems that eSports "may or may not" be the primary occupation of the owners of this organization. For the record that's just speculation, I don't have any evidence or anything.

I just find it hilarious that they're trying to inflate their viewer numbers this way. Even if there is no other damage or whatever, its amusing to see how far this team will go to put on the appearance of being popular

I doubt it, since DailyMotion would have had to agree to add the stream. It's not like Eclypsia is tricking them into anything.
