I went to BlizzCon 2009 and the hall was packed for the finals. I think it held 15k. I know thats not a single game tournament, but most people there seemed to be fans of the game. Well "seem" just isn't good enough for trivia/statistics like this, although I agree with you. The reason it seems surprising at first glance is because most of our household major events aren't SC2-only, talking about MLG, DreamHack, IEM, Assembly etc. All of them existed before SC2 and kept shifting their supported games throughout these last 3 years, but I don't think that they've ever been SC2-only. And events like NASL and IPL have also had LoL so yeah, there you go. Although it does strike me as quite peculiar that GSL finals attendance didn't manage to break 3700, especially given the precedent of tournaments 5-8 years ago. I guess LoL is simply too popular in Korea. :D | ||

also no mention of Polt and super tournament... lame since it was the most prestigious tournament in sc2 history... no mention of fruitdealer or nestea... both very top10 important characters in sc2 history... no mention of leenock, thorzain, rain, etc, all much more important characters than kaaz and eve lol it mentions neural range nerf but doesn't mention the fungal buff when fungal became the best spell in the game... etc etc. if you put in the effort to make such a picture at least get good info from someone who watches sc2 from the beginning. | ||

Well it's not a list of "skilled players winning tournaments", but rather various interesting benchmarks and achievements. As stated in the OP (and as you should know if you've been around here for a while) she was the first actual female pro-gamer, you know, signed with a legit team (a huge team at the time, to boot). It doesn't matter that she was perhaps inferior to players like Aphrodite or Flo at the time, or even thousands of male pro-gamers, semi-pro-gamers and casual Master league players, she's there because she was the first female signing. Should this matter? That's not up to your or I to decide, but rather the community as a whole. | ||

I'd argue better milestones could have been chosen as well. | ||

You realize this is a timeline of really important steps in sc2's history ? Most of the stamps are "first of something". So Kaaz and Eve definitely have their places there. While for Leenock and Thorzain, what ? You're not even citing DRG or MKP while they have bigger accomplishments. It misses Fruitdealer for first GSL champion, Nestea as first player to win 3 GSLs. To me one thing is really missing : Fenix, first foreign player recruited by a Korean team. But well no point to make an infinite list. | ||
