We didn't hear much of the commentary though, as we were commentating ourselves most of the time, arguing between each other who's going to win. Was pretty fun
i wish i had friends who played sc and wouldn't think i was a huge dork for watching this

That could be possible in the finals !!!! (dont think so but maybe)
If its over 9000 then its REALLY great in this case. its not just a "over 9000" as always but this time its possible.
@han00b: why are so many people watching it in german??? WTF i think english casters are ALOT better than the crappy german casters.....and its more original. you can laugh about quotes with other people here and stuff. I cant really think of one reason to watch german.........i assume they understand english T_T
|
The ESL-TV commentators are a lot more entertaning than any other casters if seen yet (Tasteless would be second). Of course their knowledge of the game and the casting qualities for people who are familiar with Starcraft are much lower than in TL's casts. Personally, I like the ESL TV casts but for an event like TSL I prefer quality over entertainment. Apart from that, I would not assume that all the ESL-TV watchers are capable of at least understanding english.

I seriously doubt 10k people are watching the ESLTV Starcraft shows ;> Personally I think they talk too much stupid shit (Christian more than Uli of course). Not that it's really bad, but it could be much, much better.
|
if it could be earlier a lot more poeple from Poland would watch it, of course it will cause less people from US / Canada or w/e to watch.
|
It's on the weekend, so actually, that might not be true (on Pacific Time it starts at 1:30 (13:30), and for East Coast it starts at 4:30). O_O
|
Perhaps 19 CET would be a better start time that would be able to draw more Europeans.
I know 19 CET = 1pm EST (10 am PST) so it's not TOO early for USA / Canada.
Anything less than 19 CET though is just beastly for us North Americans...
|
i don't see a problem with making it earlier, such a small fraction of the US population actually works on the weekends anyways so it's not like making it at 2:30 or 1:30 will affect the US that much

Are you keeping track of the additional unique ips that are downloading the vods via bittorrent?
|
how many viewers are there on the stream right now? It seems slightly laggier than usual xD
|
Anyone know the grand final turnout? It must have been huge what with the stream crash and all. Also, I think TL crashed razer's site, rofl.
|
A server upgrade or change to a better host might be in order for season 2?
|
The stream didn't crash, the encoding software just f'ed up.
|
I wanna know grand final numbers aswell.

I noticed that Razer's site is dead. I wondered what was going, but I doubt it's because of TSL.
