Home Story Cup still was 5-10+k viewers for the last time very time I looked. Half that for other larger tournaments. I think it still is surprisingly solid, myself I watch only very infrequently these days.
I'm reporting what I see in the channel counter. Since I'm still subscribed to some major SC2 channels I see the numbers even when I don't watch myself.
Tp me this is far from "dead", but I don't care about tens of thousands of viewers and lots of commercial activity. Just look at what this kind of "success" did for soccer. Maybe a bit more would be better, mostly for the Korean casts by the Tastosis duo, which unfortunately disappeared from Twitch and one has to go and watch it deliberately.
The other one I watch is Back2Warcraft (my only WCIII channel, so I name it directly instead of the game - but it's the biggest one anyway). 1k regularly, a few times that for the bigger events. Even the casters could not ignore the disaster that WC III Reforged was, and in quite a few ways still is.
- Kranar 4y agoFair enough but at least we can quantify what people mean by solid. I think for most people, viewership of 5-10k is absolutely abysmal, basically dead. You can get 5k people to watch almost anything, including people eating copious amounts of junk food.
- all2 4y agoMight I recommend uThermal? He has a YouTube channel and his presentation is rather excellent. Watching his work makes me want to get back into SC2. --- edit - Not a competition with lots of people, but he has 10+ "X to grand master" videos where he runs absurd builds to see if he can make them work.
