At any point of IEM Season 6 Championship, if you think of an interesting byline, please drop a sentence in the Pro Scene thread. At the end of the month, I'll catalogue the results of Hannover but also any interesting facts or events that happen over the course of the tournament. Thanks. Neo, 06.03.2012 |

I think the LoL stream is embedded in the client. That and LoL has a bigger fanbase/audience because it is well, free to play.
Current viewers are lacklustre at the moment though. Assembly had about 40-50k viewers by the finals.

Is this concurrent/unique viewers or? lol, you must be new around here. Yes, unique and concurrent for Kiev Finals. Yes I am new here. I always knew LoL viewers have always been larger than SC2 ones but 215k is unheard of for me. Don't take it to serious but the lol number discussion comes up every time. Everybody here loves SC, but is tired of arguing lol numbers. Yea I guess we become a little defensive, with all the "lol is not a proper esport" and all that shit being thrown around. Then you look at pure numbers and they're not just about a different story, but a whole differentl trilogy in another universe. I don't blame the LoL fanbase. I sometimes feel that the SC2 viewers are too elitist and don't think of the bigger picture in making E-Sports really viable. Also is there another stream that I can watch? Main stream isn't showing anything remotely interesting... but rather full of awkwardness. As a fan of both games I really dont understand why SC2 players hate on LoL so much with the reason it is an easier game because isn't that the same thing BW fans say about SC2? jealousy But it's ok. What Riot is doing is going to be emulated by gaming companies for years to come 
Hear hear.

I'm kinda sad, that they don't take some of the pro's there to cast a game, like from the teams from group b or some of CLG.eu who are there. Though the casters are doing a pretty good job overall, i think that would be great.

Yes and those same SC2 fans are hypocrites. They shit on LoL but can't take criticism from those who came from BW.

Alomst everybody in this sub-forum are fans of both SC2 and LoL. So lets fuck those that like to debate SC2 vs LoL since we know that we love them both.
Lets just enjoy this upcoming awesome game CLG vs aAa. I am looking forward to see a really close game here. Hope Hotshot won't some stupid shit and SV actually know how to use SMITE!!!

Does anyone else think that shen pick was baited by aAa?

What Riot did right though has actually nothing to do with the gameplay. A large part of their success at least in my opinion is that they recognized very early the power of free online games that are based on micro transactions.

How so? Countered by?

does hsgg even play either udyr or shen?

Hmm, I expect Soaz to know how to handle a Shen if he goes toplane. Shen's still Shen though. I don't understand the Ziggs ban, I wasn't aware Jiji plays a particularly intimidating yordle.

Man this schedule is brutal even for UK times. I slept in a bit and missed about 5 streamed games. I wonder how many people were awake to see the start at 9am.
