http://www.gametrics.com/rank/Rank02.aspx it seems sc2 isnt even on the top 10 of pcbang popularity list, sc1 and wc3 still have more people playing it. It seems all the pro hardcore korean players are playing that game tl seems to hate for some reason.. 30% league of legends. | ||

Another interesting thing to note: Everything except the RPGs are free to play. Says a lot more about the people at PCBangs than it does about popularity. | ||

WC3 and SC1 need one copy for every machine in the shop, and zero extra payments from the users. That's how PCBangs work. | ||

That's how PCBangs work. true, the pc bangs buy the copy of the game, and ANY person can use it. for sc2, you need to buy an account just to play it, so its outside of the pc bangs control. Huge difference that we all need to be aware of when we look at these types of statistics. Maybe one day, blizzard will release ftp sc2 after LotV........ | ||

Overall, I did not see much concerning the number of viewers, so I'd say it is dodging quite a few stats to make it sound optimistic. | ||

I would really like to see the thread that gives out the number of stream viewers, by streamers (along with their increase or decrease, by amount of viewers AND compared to other streamers). The longer Blizzard takes to realize they need to revamp some very important aspect of the game to be popular among viewers, the more Starcraft will keep declining. And trust me, once the sponsors start leaving the scene (or sign less generous contracts), you will see things fall apart pretty quickly. I'd say the first ones to be affected will be Kespa. The HUGE decline, both in Proleague and Starleague (go see the difference in attendancies between the last BW OSL and the first SC2 OSL), will critically affect Kespa to the point that I wonder if they will even survive. | ||

Stats can be added to or ignored to support a preconceived hypothesis. Not that SC2 is dying or anything that extreme, but one has to be extremely careful when dealing with statistics and graphs. | ||

I'm pretty sure pcbangs are still very popular. Am I the only one who is unimpressed by the amount of content in this graphic? Other than exact numbers anyone could have put this together in their head if they followed the scene at all. | ||
