why not just ask twitch about them bots? they can identify and dissolve any doubt about these numbers, can't they?

They did and concluded that there was nothing particularly shady about Winter's numbers. Several people with actual knowledge of streaming have agreed to that as well.

I can confirm that this Winter kid is supicious. Everyone doubts his activities since spring this year when he was getting 3000 /viewers/bots as a diamond level player.

Today I was in his stream, again 1700 people watching, the same 20 people actually chatting.
And those 20 were pretty angry when I mention something about botting and banned me.

If I remember that Desrow who worked his ass off with streaming, creating content, teaching players how to play, even playing on tournaments, WCS etc. Now he has audience that Winter has except he actually worked for it and it took him nearly 3 years to get there. Winter just get this audiance from day to day.

1,7k has usually Khaldor in this time of day when he's casting some game from Korea.


And the recent TOP streamers list from TL is embarrasing aswell. How can Winter beat players like Stephano who used to have 15k viewers or basically anyone. Grubby, Parting, DeMuslim are more famous and entertaining than he will ever will be.

I say: Let's boycott his attendence at homestory cup!

Thanks Conti. As for Winter, I don't see how him having many viewers hurts anyone.

There's no point in bitching about winter anymore.
He's too visible and too big now; even if he was or is viewbotting he has enough real viewers to have plausible deniability.
Winter will be a host for a SC2 Tournament. Hate him or think he's doesn't deserve anything, shit don't matter.

Too late for any of that.

Yesterday I wrote "Rise the Kappa guys!" in thr chat, 3k viwers, only 3 or 4 answered. Meh, usually with 100 viewers there's more activity in the chat...

Maybe his viewers aren't retarded?

I personally think that's quite unfortunate for SC2, since it is a game that requires a ton of concentration and skill at the highest level, and quite often, as a player, you just can't play and interact at the same time. So you can either play not quite as good and interact (thus losing the unique feature of being one of the best), or not interact (thus losing the interest of your viewers). Damned if you do, damned if you don't.


I agree with this, although I hardly have viewers when I tried to talk and interact with the people I had about 12 viewers than the usual but lost all games because I couldn't do both things, when I just play I have about 3 or less.

the graph of overall viewers is what i look at, the names change but the viewer numbers are what matter overall. i think legacy of the void will bump the numbers back up, when it comes out.

It's never a good idea to argue over the internet, especially against haters, but here goes...

Winter does a great job interacting with the stream and he explains a lot. Spelling out the reasons that motivate his actions and going into the details of scouting the way he does is exactly what the stream wants apparently. Keep in mind his viewers, or 'viewers' as some of you imply with the subtlety of a chainsaw-wielding surgeon, are not good enough to learn from silent streams like Stephano's or Parting's.

Just saying, good job. I watch that stream.

EDIT: What is so unbelievable about rising stars? Instant fame is older than instant coffee.

EDIT2: Maybe his playing random attracts more viewers also. Most streamers play only one race, thus appealing to less players. Watching 9 match-ups instead of 3.
Live and let live

I watch Winter. Why? Because he's a decent player, has passion for the game, and narrates his game play. Plus he typically plays random so you get to potentially see different gameplay from match to match. So stop hating and go watch whomever you like better.

Since you guys were making such a big fuss about Winter in the Homestory Cup announcement thread, in this thread and Winter bashing on the front page of the sc2 subreddit, you've generated enough curiosity for me to tune in and see what the hate is all about.

+1 VIEWER AND ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!

i think i watched 100+ hours of winter alrdy, typed 2 lines in chat, 1 question that got answered immediately, and 1 "tx for the answer afterwards"

i watch winter cos he constantly talks while playing, something a pro would never do when training seriously
i asked him if his apm go down when he talks that much and he said he has about 30-40 apm less when talking
so he prefers good stream interaction over flawless play, which is xactly why i watch it

if i want a progame, i can choose the replay that suits me best and i can choose what music i listen meanwhile...
most progamer-streams are just like watching a random ladder-replay with music i dont like

there are exeptions (incontrol, grubby) but whenever i wanna watch....winter is online, the exeptions rarely are

also if those viewernumbers are all bots these must be rich bots for all the donations they give

and suggesting to boykott HSC:X cos you dont like winter should warrant a permaban imho, thats gotta beat CAPS, bad manners and childish hate

See, the Winter situation is funny. On one side we have people who absolutely despise him and his success and wish nothing but fire and brimstone upon him. On the other side we have people who think insulting Winter or suggesting a boycott (while absurd, hardly bannable) should be moderated more harshly than anyone else.
