Yup shootmania is being tracked now, rejoice.

inb4 LoL streams having 100x more viewers than SM.

Literally the max concurrent viewers I have ever seen in a sm stream is 51.
Dota2 had the record with 567,000....until the LoL season2 finals, which had 1,154,000 on official streams (lots of them combined) and 2,400,000 watching it on tv.

What were our numbers for Quake again?

zing

po po po pooo...

around 4k or something in adroits

no idea about the max. ever

It had like 40k when they put it inbetween a SC2 final :D

As for max Quake only, I think about 16k.

no way it was 16k in QL, considering QL only streams that won't have LoL people waiting to see hotshotgg.

I'd say right now for a big lan event the highest we can expect considering all streams combined (russians etc) is 5k.

it was 16k for IEM Europe Quake only stream. the max was 40k for dreamhack winter final with sc2 mixed stream

Maximum QL-only was about 50k viewers for small silent gamers online cup, because it somehow got to gaming subreddit main page

oh wow, didnt know that lol

No way, it had about 3000 people watching if I remember correctly. It's still alot for a NA online cup of course.

Yes way, it was 49-something thousand at the peak, and it eventually settled down at 7k or 8k. I remember it like yesterday.
Actually shows a bit of what would be possible if QuakeLive was properly advertised and hyped.

nowadays probably 4-8k with combined streams depending on the event and time of day, back in the day we easily broke into (higher) five figures with gtv alone :S

Even QLranksTV gets more than 50 viewers on a daily basis, major lan events rack up to 4k and your weekly sunday cups have ~1200viewers ru+official combined, so what's your point?

$100,000 biggest sm tournament ever

has exactly 129 viewers (128 without me lol) on a saturday. That's wasting money.

so when's shootmania? lol

omg bald joe casting LoL

It starts tomorrow as scheduled with the Wild Card matches.

Google is your friend

Does anyone know a website that is like esreality but that focuses mostly/only on SC2 ?

that has liquid on its name?

"like esreality" =D

It's like asking whether there is a musician like Mozart, but composing mostly/only degenerate pop for dumb teen girls.

that's actually how the pop industry works lol

Wild Card first semi finals between fnatic and dnj being delayed due to strenx pc mic fail or smthg like that, ive been specting the game for the first time.

>Caster says this is strenx quake legend, take a sit and enjoy bla bla.
>Strenx loses his attack round.
>???

I'm surprised to see 600 viewers on the stream

Which team qualified dignitas or fnatic?

edit: fnatic :(

I'm not surprised to see 125 right now:]

sm is gay as fuck to watch but I find the casters somewhat enjoyable even though I'm totally detached from whats actually going on

are you fucking kidding me? next time mendez says "wo-oouh" like some teen porn actress pretending to see a cock for the first time im going to set fire to a field of fucking potats.

AND I FUCKING LOVE POTATS

You fucking love potat.
Quake is potat.
You fucking love quake.

apologies for listening to a select 5 minutes of casting I guess

100000 prize pool and 130 viewers atm :DD

shootmania is so outright retarded, could not bear the stream for more than 10 mins.

Also what kind of stupid idea is this elite mode, something like 3v3 CA may have been somewhat watchable.

QL 125fps (152 viewers) (~$60) >>> SM IPL ShootMania (48 viewers)($100 000) :D

SM: The only fps where big mouth gillz and a fat nerd can own rapha and clock.

just from watching i can tell shots are painfully random, plus it's 1/100 of quake's complexity.

and no clue why someone would point the camera to the 400pound guy instead of the 2 regular dudes (gillz and nonamer). Same with rapha as well ("the quake champion" is at the back).
Lightning is awful as well. Are they paying someone to produce the event?

gillz > rapha

what is the world coming to?

The music of the asus ads is really cool, anybody knows source?

casters are pretty good taking into account the shallow gameplay, i would say mendez is the new joe, heard it here first.

yeah goldenboy is a really good caster. he can cast any game and make it interesting. he mainly casts call of duty (Xbox)

Mr Badger: "we will add walljumping and doble jump"

is that Don King casting shootmania?

fnatic gonna take the 30 gs

dont discount colwn theyre playing very well if winz can keep winning a pair of attack rounds per game.

the more I watch shootmania the more I wonder how this game can get a 100K prizepool and represent FPS altogether...

The shitmania stream has 1600 viewers. That should return a few hundred dollars on their investment.

Only 99,700 dollars to go!

rapha casting suffices. the game doesnt matter

strenx alltimes 2nd

Grand Finals
colwn 3 U$s 30.000
fnatic 0 u$s 15.000

I hope they remove the infestor unit in SC2. Disables like fungal growth belong in MOBAs not old style RTS. The finals are the most boring games of the tournament.

random balance inputs are always welcome
