EPT
Update: Turns out my script did not differentiate between Rain and Rain. It does now, and I updated the rankings accordingly. Sorry, Rains.
Table of contents
Huh? What's this?
For those of you who don't already know what this is about: I'm gathering various data (viewers, game, events, etc.) from all the streams that are presented on teamliquid.net (those that you can in the sidebar to your right) and use that data to produce the pretty tables and graphs you see below. The tables only contain SC2 players (that is, streams of people playing games of Starcraft 2) and not casters, teams or other streams. The tables also only contain Starcraft 2 related activities. So, for instance when CatZ is streaming Dota2, it will not be taken into account.
The data I gather is then turned into the tables you see below. One is sorted by the average viewers, the other is sorted by the average viewers times the hours streamed. The latter table favors those that stream a lot, while the former table favors popular streamers regardless of how much they stream. Either ranking has its advantages and disadvantages, and thus I present both.
For either table, I have a minimum required stream time of 5 hours to be included in the list.
The list
Due to space limitations, I have to shorten the headers and leave some data out of the tables presented here. You can get the full tables from the links below.
The headers aren't as clear as I'd like them to be thanks to this, so here's a quick explanation, just in case: "Viewers" denotes the average viewers in the given month. "Hours" are the hours played. "Place diff" and "Viewer diff" are the place and viewer differences compared to last month.
Also, the HTML version linked beneath the images has some more information that I had to leave out due to space limitation, most notably the featured status of the players.
Now, Without further ado, here's this month's tables:

Stray observations and musings
- Did you hear that Naniwa has been streaming again? Apparently so, since he's easily gained the #1 spot in the average viewers category last month. Congrats!
- While his average viewer numbers are a bit more shaky lately, Winter remains the number one when it comes to pure viewerhours. He did lose a good number of those, however, and the #2, Destiny, did gain a good bit. If the trend continues, Winter might be dethroned yet after all.
- Notable streamers who made it to last month's list, but did not make it this month or who did not stream at all: Grubby (), Parting, Soulkey.
- If you find any mistakes or errors in the lists, please do let me know, especially concerning team changes or players that you are absolutely sure should be on the lists, but are not.
The big picture

(The actual numbers are not important, it's the ratio between month that's important.)
Note that these are player streams only.
Not a whole lot of change compared to the previous month, so not a whole lot to say.
Oh, and just for desrow <3:
![[image loading]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8028950/TL/Monthly%20viewers%202015%2001 all.png)
This graph shows all SC2 streams, regardless of whether they are player streams, event streams or caster streams. I tend not to show this one because, thanks to some major events not delivering live viewership numbers (like MLG), it can be somewhat misleading. So do take this graph with a grain of salt, please.
That being said, with WCS picking up and steadily getting into premier territory, we should see the numbers going up again in the coming month.
WCS/GSL
![[image loading]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8028950/TL/WCS%202015%2001.png)
The usual ranking of EU > NA > KR remains untouched, but with the new WCS season and changes, viewership for the different regions seems to come closer and closer together.
Proleague

Quite steady numbers for Proleague. Sweet.
That's all for this month. Hope you guys enjoyed, as always. Any kind of feedback is always welcome!
