WCS Korea and WCS EU are more entertaining for many and thats already a ton of content. WCS AM is the least entertaining so is the first to go with a lack of time. | ||

There were great casters and a host who kept things entertaining, a small crowd added a little bit of excitement if someone won, The games were just better and had memorable moments (forgg vs stephano). To beat the dead horse a little more, EU had mostly EU players. Players that people want to watch. WCS AM was not exciting to watch at all. No crowd. Almost zero content outside of the games. No host. Long shots of the NY skyline and players room. Mediocre casting at best. When HerO won there was just dead silence followed by an awkward award ceremony. Oh yeah and the obvious... No NA players to actually root for. What are you talking about, WCS AM was exciting as shit, just take a look at the following clip of the final match, when the winner was determined: + Show Spoiler + | ||

Great crowd for the finals (although small, but cheerful!) and a nice setup. WCS KR is solid like always and the highest display of skill, i try to watch it whenever i can. I did watch some of WCS AM but never liked it as good as the other two so i ended up not watching the finals after watching a few games of them. Didn't feel good in comparison to EU or KR. Also loving this thread like always. Not a surprise players got less viewers after all those WCS events... | ||

We're back to pre HotS numbers, at least when it comes to player streams. That's not good for players who stream, obviously, but I don't see any cause for concern for the community's growth. So i figure this is only the total player stream viewers? I would be interested to see the total stream numbers as the sum of WCS content + player streams + team leagues so you could see how those percentages shift. just like hots/wol content On June 04 2013 05:14 DeathZepplin wrote: Why people watch Tara Babcock and don't just go to pornhub for a few minutes will always mystify me. i guess its not the strangest fetish to watch 2 boobies play wood league starcraft :D | ||

WCS AM has been struggling a bit, however. The finals had about half the viewers of WCS EU, and here we cannot use the time zone difference as an excuse. Or are there really so many more European Starcraft fans out there compared to American Starcraft fans? WCS AM has done consistently worse than WCS EU. What do you guys think is the reason for that? I'm especially interested in comments readers from the US/Americas on whether they watch WCS AM, or if they even prefer WCS EU over it. I've also added a poll to gauge the popularity of the various WCS regions to the bottom of the post. Do participate! As an American, one of the reasons why I didn't watch WCS AM was that the scheduling didn't allow it. There were many days (especially during the online rounds, when there were actually American players playing) where the schedule was shifted earlier several hours (trying to get the European audience or accommodating the players?) and the games were all but over when I got home from work. And I live on the east coast. I can only imagine how much WCS AM a west coast American with a job would have gotten to watch. In comparison, I could at least always tune into WCS EU during my lunch break. | ||
