That picture looks alot like the total viewers for a single game list on twitch. Still I bet 120k of it was IEM. Very nice! I thought the bad time for it may hurt but I was wrong! And as usual, Totalbiscut was right when he said they'd break 100k easy | ||

And for a guy who's career winnings is something like 28k it's really unfortunate  I hope sOs treated him to a fancy meal or bought him some shit to make up for it. WTA was nice and all in theory, but it didn't raise viewers until the finals, which Cologne actually had more concurrent viewers throughout the tournament, so that failed. And it wasn't any more "hype" than usual. The games make the hype themselves, and a winner take all format when PvP finals has been happening all but 1 tournament so far just didn't work out. Timing is usually everything, and I'm sure if there was more stability as far as balance goes, it could have been different, but all in all i think it failed in it's goal. I'm totally down for some more non-WTA formats and I hope they don't do it again next year. | ||

Can we stop propagating this in the e-sports community? To throw a game in any sense of the word means to lose on purpose, usually in reference to match-fixing and the likes. For some reason, the e-sports community has tossed this word about so it it just means 'losing a game from your own mistakes when you should not have because you were way ahead'. Please, anyone new to esports will not only be confused, when they realize it is just people using it incorrectly, it just gives the community an immature image. | ||

If you don't believe me check post history. I knew hero would take down polt and I knew Taeja would lose to sos. sos was just on fire though so it makes sense that he won. :D | ||

Oh and the fact that he somehow held a max supply push while on 4 gateways and 90 probes. Pretty sure that's not supposed to happen. Maybe he held that because had more than six +3 carriers? | ||

The storms were the support, after those were used to soften the Terran the Carriers did the rest. They Obliterated the Viking Fleet, then laid waste to the marines in no time. He lost one Carrier to a max supply push at his 3rd base. Then another max supply bio army met the fleet in the middle of the map. They were wiped out and the Protoss was at 192 supply after that fight | ||

I guess it is because sOs has a better smile and carriers. You sure? A lot of people hated PuMa that even Huskystarcraft had to downplay the hate when he casted his games on his channel. Also, when Puma was doing badly in Proleague, a lot of people made fun of him for not having 1-1-1 handy anymore against Protoss. sOs is definitely more charming though. | ||
