Welcome to the monthly edition of the top 50 streamers list.

Last month saw the release of Heart of the Swarm, and I'm sure you all want to know what that did to the viewership numbers for the SC2 streams, so I'll get right to it!

Table of contents
  • Huh? What's this?
  • Top 50 streamers in March 2013
    • Sorted by avg. viewer
    • Sorted by avg. viewer * hours streamed
    • Stray observations
  • The big picture
  • Proleague vs. GSL
  • Older entries


Huh? What's this?

For those of you who don't already know what this is about: I'm gathering various data from all the streams that are presented on teamliquid.net (viewers, game, events, etc.) and use that data to produce the pretty tables you see below. The tables only contain SC2 players (that is, people streaming games of Starcraft 2 being played by the streamer themselves) and not casters, teams or other streams. The tables also only contain Starcraft 2 related activities. So CatZ streaming Dota2 will not be taken into account, for instance.

For live stream data, go and visit soiii's site http://sc2streamnumbers.com/ where you can check out detailed graphs of stream viewers of every stream. (Thread here). Please check it out, it's pretty awesome. I thought about doing something like that at some point, but soiii did it way better and prettier than I could've ever done.

The list


Due to space limitations, I have to shorten the headers and leave some data out of the tables presented here. You can get the full tables from the links below.
The headers aren't as clear as I'd like them to be thanks to this, so here's a quick explanation, just in case: "Viewers" denotes the average viewers in the given month. "Hours" are the hours played. "Place diff" and "Viewer diff" are the place and viewer differences compared to last month.

I have retired the HotS percentage bar. Teamliquid doesn't allow streamers to make the distinction between HotS and WoL any longer, and so far there's no need for that feature, anyhow: Absolutely nobody streams WoL.

Also, the HTML version linked beneath the images has some more information that I had to leave out due to space limitation, most notably the featured status of the players.

Now, Without further ado, here's this month's tables:

UPDATE: Added RotterdaM (minus recent ATC cast)! Apologies for overlooking him.

Stray observations

  • So many new viewers! Rejoice, Starcraft 2 isn't dead yet! We barely had one player peaking 10000 viewers in a month previously, and last month we had four. More on overall HotS numbers later.
  • Destiny's back! Well, not really, but he played some SC2 again, and he's still pretty popular. Initially it looked like he would end up taking the #1 spot, as he was the first to crack the 10000 viewer mark, but in the following days he got some pretty good competition. Still, that's not a bad result at all for a retired player.
  • While we're at it: It should be noted that a lot of players decided to try out (and stream) the Single Player campaign first. That's not quite what I intended this list to be for originally, but since this is a one-time (Well, one out of two times, actually) occurrence, I don't see a reason to do much about it.
  • The biggest loss this time around is clearly Jaedong. He's been in a steady decline ever since he started streaming (and dominating the list). While nearly everyone got lots of new viewers, he lost about 1300 last month. If you're one of those 1300, please let us know why you stopped watching him. I'm really curious about this one.
  • On the other end of the spectrum, we have some players who gained a significant number of new viewers, even considering the HotS launch: Ret went from an average viewership of 890 up to 2150, Catz went from 530 to 1630, and Incontrol and Sase also gained quite a number of new viewers. Congrats!
  • With MajOr streaming again, this marks the first time a KeSPA contracted player has ever appeared on one of the top 50 lists! (And, to my knowledge, the first time a KeSPA player has ever streamed SC2 on teamliquid, period. Correct me on this one if I'm wrong.)
  • I have no numbers on Artosis' stream, since he apparently wasn't listed on teamliquid. Sorry.
  • Notable absentees this month: MMA, DRG, SuperNova, HasuObs, Leenock, HyuN, Goody, Babyknight, Ganzi, ForGG.
  • If you find any mistakes or errors in the lists, please do let me know, especially concerning team changes or players that you are absolutely sure should be on the lists, but are not.


The big picture


[image loading]
(The actual numbers are not important, it's the ratio between month that's important.)

We all expected a raise in total viewership, and we got one. But while the raise is significant compared to the previous month, it's barely noteworthy compared to April nearly one year ago. So that's cause for concern, right?

Wrong. Heart of the Swarm was released on the 12th, and the beta has ended by the 1st. So not a soul (other than the guys at IEM, of course) could stream HotS during that time. The bar that you see is the result of roughly 2/3 of a month's worth of streaming. So, basically, imagine that bar to be 1/3 larger than it actually is to get a more accurate image. Or just have a look at this:

[image loading]

This is the same data, but broken down by day and not by month. And while the last graph shows a too bleak picture of HotS stream viewership, this one goes into the other direction: The WoL numbers you see here are lower than usual, since pretty much nobody cared about WoL any more days before HotS was released, and barely anyone streamed. Still, this shows a much more accurate representation of what happened once HotS was released: Loads of viewers! And, much more importantly, loads of viewers that kept watching streams all throughout the month.

With the exception of MLG, that is. That's the bump at the 16th and 17th. That's when there were over 100.000 people watching MLG... and when there was literally zero featured SC2 streamers online at times. Zero. Nada. They've all been watching MLG, too, presumably. And so did you.

Let's wait and see if the high numbers continue this month.


Proleague vs. GSL

Please take the GSL numbers below with a large grain of salt. The numbers below only reflect the twitch.tv viewer numbers, and do not count viewers that have watched GSL straight from gomtv.net. In addition, as always, the numbers below only reflect the official English streams of the corresponding events, and say nothing about Korean viewerships.

Still no GSTL viewers. Sorry!

[image loading]

Not a whole lot to say, since there wasn't a whole lot going on last month. The Code S finals had slightly less viewers than the Ro4, but, as I said above, that can have many reasons, and is in no way an indication that they were less popular.

So that's all for this month.
Hope you guys enjoyed, as always. Any kind of feedback is always welcome!

Great work as always.

I´m looking forward for the trend to continue, Stephano´s stream already reached 14k yesterday, so if that is an indicator, April should be even better.

Sadly only few Korean pros are streaming. I know, I know, they don't want to reveal builds'n'stuff, but I still miss them ever since Kespa started that trend.
Plus at my hours, there are very few Protoss streaming

Thanks for compiling the list!

When Jaedong started streaming he played english mainstream pop. I didn't like that but could arrange with it to some extent but I just can't stand the kpop he listens to now.
Generally it seems that music is a big factor for getting lots of viewers.
With great power comes great responsibility.

I was a bit confused by that myself, since he usually streams a ton of games. He did stream, but for last month he had an average of only 331 viewers, so he barely didn't make it in to the top 50 this time.

D'oh. I usually just check the first list, since anyone who's not there but is in the second list usually isn't as notable. Alright, striking that.

"The Code S Finals had less viewers than the Code S Ro4 [...] that can have many reasons".

Well, it seems not many people liked ZvZ at this point, in a period that was filled with Z everywhere...

Great work anyway, the graphs are pretty cool news, there's a net gain in viewership !

Heh imo the main reason jaedongs stream numbers are down is his stream has been dying a TON this month. Swear to god everytime I watch his stream dies randomly throughout the whole game. I keep watching but I imagine a ton of people stop watching cause it's a pain :/.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Maybe it's because he streams on Dailymotion and all the viewers are not count as viewers. It's like when Millenium Tv stream, there are 40 viewers on Team Liquid but 4000 viewers in fact.

Who is Tara Babcock, Filter and kaitlyn ? Never heard of those players...

edit : nevermind, ForGG is on the second list.

Anyway, thank you again for those threads. I'm looking forward to it every month.

kaitlyn is a popular streamer. You can see an interview of her here.

Filter is mostly known for his thread Bronze to Masters, Improving Mechanics, and I think he gets most of his viewers from that. But I'm not sure.

Tara Babcock.. er.. Google her. But only when your parents aren't looking.

Great job, thanks! It really looks poor for Proleague, now that EG-TL is in last place and they were bringing the majority of the viewers.. Hopefully they do better in the next round. Better english casters would help too. The format is too awsome to let it die!

Ah ah ! I'm too old to live with my parents, but my girlfriend might be suspicious about me watching SC2 now... :p

Be that as it may, I'm quite confused that hundreds of nerds watch an SC2 stream to see boobs...

Incontrol at place 19? What's wrong with you guys? His stream is so entertaining, the music is great and he's closer to the top than people give him credit for.

Glad to see the Grubster is so far up there. Love that guy.

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention: I also don't have viewer numbers of MC currently, since he's streaming with azubu.tv now. He's streaming right now. They're not yet linked from teamliquid, and I'm not sure if they even offer live viewer numbers.

Updated the list!

I forgot RotterdaM! Well, I didn't quite forget him, I categorized him as a caster because I've seen him casting from his main account. Somehow I thought he was casting more events than just the Acer Team Cup.

He's in the list now, minus the casting viewer numbers, of course. Sorry for that!

LOL @ Destiny taking 4th just like that. Majority of those hours are not sc2 afaik but that 10 k peak was right? And Artosis is 6th beating people like Demuslim, Naniwa and TLO? It's a shame he is on in the middle of the working day here. I would watch 100%. He has always been super educational when I've had a chance to take a glance.

Jeez Dragon, 211 hours of Starcraft in a month. That is like 50+ hours a week. No wonder he got carpal tunnel. The last few days he has been usually streaming from when I wake up until about supper time my time, basically through the whole night in Korea. It is crazy because it is light when he starts, turns dark out, then is light again when he quits. It works fine for me because I just leave it on all day and tune in when I am not doing something. He has been quite entertaining.

It is crazy how much his stream has grown. I remember when he first started (way back before it was normal for Korean pros to stream) and there were like 10 people watching and trying to tell him his stream was working because he thought it was broken, and within a few hours once the word spread that a dude from Slayers was streaming he got a huge number of viewers. That initial popularity hasn't gone away as he can still draw a pretty good crowd. He definitely deserves it with the number of hours he puts in.

Edit: Holy crap ForGG putting in WORK

Not only that, but he's by far the most entertaining streamer on the list.

The guy stripped down to a bikini and danced to Lady Gaga - Poker Face on stream. You can't make that shit up.

All the hours displayed in the list are SC2, actually. It's possible that Destiny (or any other streamer) might have forgotten to switch from SC2 to LoL in their streamer-interface on teamliquid, however. That tends to happen now and again, just like some streamers forgot to switch from HotS back to WoL while the beta was down, as you can see in the graph for March.

The only mistake I noticed was "The Special" you've listed in WoL colours yet it was a HoTS thing.

212 hours streamed for Hui. Seriously, why the fuck isn't he featured yet.

For Artosis you're going to want to switch the team to TT Esports like WhiteRa since he's officially part of the "TT Esports family" and has stated many times that his stream is mainly available thanks to TT Esports whether you believe that's honest or superficial.

Jaedong's stream isn't peaking anymore because all the SC2 bandwagon has winded down since he's not winning anything :x

What I get from this is that basically all EG members are just ladder streaming machines and pretty much never win any tournaments in recent memory.

EG must be forcing them to do so, can't be explained otherwise ;p

I think if anything they chose to do it themselves as it's their main form of income if I understand correctly?

Or they're required to stream a certain amount of hours for their contracts.

EG had been streaming machines since the beginning of sc2 when they were winning a lot of tournaments. More likely they have a much more convenient environment.

If I got IdrA's stream viewer numbers, I'd stream like a mother fucker. Wasn't the figure floating around that you get 1 USD per ad for every 1k viewers? If he streams 4 hours a day, has 2 adds playing four times an hour and consistently 7k viewers, that's some sweet moolah.

Imagine getting payed 50+ USD an hour playing a game while receiving a generous salary from your team without having any living expenses. The dude will be balling all through college.

"The Code S finals had slightly less viewers than the Ro4, but, as I said above, that can have many reasons, and is in no way an indication that they were less popular."


B-b-but it is?! That's the whole point of measuring metrics.

Actually, the colors in that graph are to differentiate between GSL/eSF and Proleague/KeSPA. Probably should change the colors to make that more obvious, though.

You know the saying about only believing the statistics you falsified yourself, right? Even disregarding the various caveats for statistics in general, this one on particular is not ideal due to the various factors I mentioned in the OP. A laggy twitch.tv stream sends people to gomtv.net, whose viewer numbers are not counted, for instance.

As far as I know, he's still retired and has no interest in getting back to becoming a SC2 pro. He played the game for fun. Though that might always change in the future.

Thanks for compiling the list!

Has he even listed his stream here on TL? If yes, the 800+ average viewers he is getting should qualify for him being featured.

He's been listed on TL since 2011 lol.

Extremely ridiculous that he hasn't been featured this entire time. Seriously TL if you're reading this wtf.

He seems to get most of his viewers from Taiwan and outside of teamliquid, so it's understandable not to have him featured. He would most likely get the same amount of viewers if he were not listed here.

Are there some streams that normally don't show up on the featured list? I lurk pretty frequently on TL and haven't noticed Tajea/Bomber/Major/Hyun on the side.

You can have a look at the HTML lists to see which streams are featured and which aren't. All the players you mentioned are featured, they probably just stream at times inconvenient for your time zone.

More people should watch SaSe. Only streamer to play Björn Rosenström (Although he has a new playlist today it seems) which should be reason enough. Oh, and some neat micro

Is the proleague vs GSL stream viewers just on twitch? Because Proleague has 2 non twitch streams running at the same time as their twitch one with the same content and GOM has the direct embed (not twitch) stream on their site so I'm curious if those stats account for these.

It's just for twitch AFAIK, so they're largely irrelevant. I don't know why people even look at them for anything.

Hui is a Taiwanese player, he's mostly playing in the (Wiki)Taiwan eSports League, and his fanbase seems to be mostly outside of Teamliquid. That's why he's not featured despite the viewer numbers.

I probably should add a section talking about the lesser known streamers or something.

Yes, it's just twtich.tv viewers, as I explained in the Proleague/GSL section.
