EPT/Oops I was still writing the post and accidentally hit submit and now there's a typo in the title. However I hope this isn't a repost or in the wrong forum and there can be a civil discussion on this topic and this thread isn't going to fall down to pointless LoL bashing like previous ones with the topic of LoL did.

 I love MLG getting bigger and bigger! <3 also LoL seems to have quite a community seeing how many watched the dreamhack stream, so good move by MLG. | ||

Assuming this LoL tournament will be on MLG's stream, the talk of whether it will go over 100k unique viewers will finally be put to rest. The numbers were legit, the whole discussion about that was pretty damn stupid. Listen to the Lo3 episode with Matt Marcou if you want to hear it from the ESPORTS council yourself. | ||

I sure hope they're prepared for the large influx of LoL viewers. No one wants to see a repeat of MLG's last disaster. | ||

Picking the fastest growing game in the business is the second smartest decision they could make. | ||

Picking the fastest growing game in the business is the second smartest decision they could make. Theyre not going to drop Halo as it's been the core game of MLG for 9 years or something and it still draws a big live audience even if it probably doesn't have the biggest stream numbers. Call of Duty, uhm maybe I mean it has a big potential audience but no Idea how many people of that rather casual audience actually tune in/show up. No idea about GoW, is that even on the circuit anymore? | ||

My real concern is that MLG already gets outsold within days, with LoL coming, will they go for a bigger venue? | ||

No idea about GoW, is that even on the circuit anymore? They're only running CoD and halo afaik. As far as LoL casters are concerned Riot is fine. They have Phreak, Rivington and a choice of random subcasters. I'm planning on starting to cast shit myself and become e-famous once I figure out how to record and split videos without watermarks.

He doesn't but he's casted like every game in existance over the last 10 years so it's a possibility. But I don't think he even plays so probably not. It's probably going to a Riot employee (Phreak/TreeEskimo) and probably a caster from the LoL community (Colbycheeze? Grackis? maybe someone from a pro team?) | ||
