EPTDue to an error (which was, ultimately, the result of my own stupidity), I lost about half a month's worth of data for the month of August. Which meant that I was unable to create a proper ranking for the month, since it just would not be fair to rank streamers based on incomplete information.
Luckily, I'm not the only one gathering stream viewer data. Thanks to the awesome efforts of Stijn, who helped me out by providing player stream data from his own site, I can at least present the usual player rankings. Thank you Stijn! This wouldn't have been possible without you. Everyone should shower him with gold, or, alternatively, visit his awesome site, http://fuzic.nl/, which is the best site to get live stream viewership information on Starcraft 2 streams. Seriously, go visit that site.
Unfortunately, due to the aforementioned stupidity of me, there will be no graphs for overall viewership and event viewership this month. However, you can visit http://fuzic.nl/ for up to date viewer data about individual events.
My apologies for the lack of content this month. Next month pretty much everything should be back to normal.
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:
