WC3 is #24 and BW is #26. So it's mostly MMORPGs, with the exception of the top 3. Looking at Gametrics now which is PC Bangs only 1 League Of Legends 2 FIFA Online 3 3 Sudden Attack 4 Aion 5 Blade & Soul 6 Lineage 7 Starcraft 8 Cyphers 9 Eos 10 Warcraft 3 SC is #18 on here. Hope that helps! If you want to see more on gamenot, see this link: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=de&sl=ko&tl=en&u=http://www.gamenote.com/rank_ongame/?search_mode=weekly I think for gametrics there is a paywall for everything beyond #10... @esdf: Although you're wrong about what SC2 is, I agree that season finals shouldn't be that often. Thanks for the post, though one thing isn't clear, in your 2nd list you put Starcraft at 7 and also noted SC is at #18, thats a bit confusing, which SC is where? Is SC2 on 7 or is it in 18? | ||

I love Starcraft and have been a very loyal customer for 15 years and grew up watching what proscene i could watch when I coudl watch it. I feel starcraft had the Hayday when IPL was doing a constant stream that was AWESOME but that has been shutdown and it felt like the scene was growing then and now it feels like its Dying very quickly.... I just wish someone was out there to bring it back to life and start making it grow again....... I don't want to Lose starcraft .....Name one game besides dota and lol and at some time of the year fighting games that, on average, gets more. I could name you like 10 esports that get less viewers and are smaller than star 2. It's not dieing and you won't loose it, jesus people I feel like all of you joined esports with star 2 and are now butthurt that the game no longer has the number 1 spot. | ||

They were too greedy on this one and this is their downfall ... Cash won't help. The problem is the lack of viewers and thus lack of sponsors and thus teams/players retiring. -_- And why is there a lack of viewers? Because the game is shit. User was warned for this post | ||

BW has suffered a violent death at the hands of Blizzard and people got left with only 2 options, play SC2 or play a different game. Same goes for viewers. And if that wasn't enough Blizz even tried to kill off the amateur BW leagues, but fortunately failed at it. ? This. BW was like unpopular -> played by people > koreans fell in love with it > companies sponsor it > esport while SC2 force it as esport > played by people > players/fans lose passion as time passes > unpopular total reverse :| | ||

Ok thank you for the post and for the clarification again. It would be nice now to see some actual numbers, not percentages, of how many people play those respective games both at home and at PC bangs and also have the total added up to get a bigger picture, though I might be asking for too much now. Anyway, hopefully at least the bad news stops pouring in. | ||
