Maybe they could even air TB's new "how to watch SC2" video beforehand?

So were looking at Hearthstone and one WoW event besides the SC2 event...I think this is still really good for SC2 but I don't know that all the people watching will like SC2 as much as WoW and Hearthstone lol...

Hoping for the best though! Blizzard obviously trying to do some big things.

This isn't quite the place to ask but I don't want to make a thread - so I know WCS is going to be streamed for free, but what about HS and Heroes? Do I need the virtual ticket or are those free as well?
Refer to my post.

ESPN should link TB's intro to competitive sc2 with its broadcast or something. So much news incoming before the big event!
The last 2 months of sc2 has been so sad for me cause everyone i love or root for falls D:
But the hype has never been more real for me!

Great news. Hopefully this brings people to sc2 and not just hearthstone/wow.

Well the good news is WoW isn't particularly exciting to watch for most people and the ones who do watch it will have already played it, so mission been accomplished. Hearthstone has as much curb appeal to a casual audience as your neighborhood crackhouse does, because who the fuck wants to watch cards fight each other?

So hopefully this will be SC2's chance to pull in a little spotlight.


Well, Hearthstone streams tend to get like 50k viewers, so a lot of people do apparently :/

It's a satellite TV thing I think. And ya, TI4 was on it, so apparently that did well enough that they're willing to try other games.

I guess I should be clear on what I meant by a casual audience on a sports station, I mean older teens into young adults. I think Hearthstone's audience is right up there with the Minecraft youtube audience (kids).

On the other side of things, didn't Sundance mention maybe getting MLG on ESPN 3 oh so many years ago

And I think you don't realize how out of touch you are with the audience for that game. Hearthstone's audience is anyone who has played world of warcraft or magic the gathering, which combine into a massive demographic that is much broader and wider reaching than that of our beloved starcraft.
... In life very little goes right. "Right" meaning the way one expected and the way one wanted it. One has no right to want or expect anything.

yep, hearthstone is a pretty fun game even, sometimes the RNG can be frustrating, but there are moments of intense strategical play or crazy RNG fun.

SC2 is by far the best spectator sport (of these 3 at least). Don't let streaming numbers fool you. I don't doubt SC2 will benefit the most from this kind of exposure.

Not just WoW. Warcraft in general. Personally I play it off the back of W3 that I used to play as a teen all those years ago.

That being said of the three I think SC2 is in the best position as its probably the best of the three as a spectator sport; so that should help the numbers considerably. Whether any of them will turn into players or more long term followers... *shrug* Who knows?

Great to see that SCII is slowly getting the "Professional e-Sports" status outside of Korea, hopefully we see more televised stuffz in the future.
