If you want to judge the amount of exposure Koreans get to SC2 relative to other games, then sure, use Inven. But otherwise, please use Gametrics instead. This is not to say that SC2's popularity hasn't risen, because it has, but it's getting very annoying to see the Inven ranking data being used inappropriately. | ||

Ye that is pretty accurate, I just remember some games from a long time ago when someone actually translated these, if i remember correctly BW is at rank 11(long time ago) | ||

It needs to be clarified that Inven ranking is not an "online playing time" ranking. It's a very strange ranking that comprises of online playing time and exposure, via ads, television, etc. So since Blizzard pumps a lot of money in SC2 advertisement, and Proleague is on TV practically every day, SC2's Inven ranking is much higher than other games that have much more online activity.

This is not to say that SC2's popularity hasn't risen, because it has, but it's getting very annoying to see the Inven ranking data being used inappropriately. This These Rankings get amazingly manipulated by ad exposure, Sc2 isn't as bad as Arvick makes it sound with ad exposure as some of those top ranked games tho, LoL, Aion, Lineage and EoS have massive amounts of ad exposure and considering those games list anywere from 1st to 9th, it makes the top 10 alone very blurred if you're thinking "played popularity" I honestly dont trust Gametrics either though, but a hell of a lot more accurate than inven considering their system. | ||

Dont get me wrong, for PCBang only stats Gametrics is great, its just games you play alone or online mostly alone, dont get as much time in PCBangs as they use to. | ||

I hope he gets to the level he deserves in individual leagues as well because he is obviously a very hard working player. | ||

Really starting to get the old vibe of BW audiences with the rejuvenated fangirl count, I also prefer the new Gangnam studio to Yongsan. The cheerleaders help to bring in a few creepy guys too. Thank god for creepy guys | ||

They mainly use customs as it's way more efficient practice, especially for a format like proleague and code s. i'm not sold, a lot of very good players often say that to prepare for matches they focus on the basics and practiced on ladder rather than with specific players | ||
