Well you couldn't be more wrong... The LoL 2015 world championship had 36 million unique viewers and 14 million concurrent for the finals. http://www.lolesports.com/en_US/articles/worlds-2015-viewership Esports draws massive crowds. That being said, I enjoyed the poo poo out of this movie. One of the best action films I've seen in a while, EZ.

MisterBibs posted:Reaching low level numbers (compared to real sports, you could get 14million with terrible teams in the early rounds of the NBA finals) for one event is not "Massive Crowds". The NBA finals last year averaged around 19.9 million viewers, other years it averaged less than 10 million. http://www.statista.com/statistics/240377/nba-finals-tv-viewership-in-the-united-states/ So turns out that the viewship for the LoL world finals is pretty comparable to the NBA finals. Also, no one gives a poo poo about ESPN streaming any esport because it's the entirely wrong demographic. I know almost no one who even has a cable subscription, let alone an ESPN package anymore when any smart person can just stream any game they want for free. People watch most esports online through Twitch.tv, youtube, and various other streaming platforms. Twitch alone gets over 11 million unique users every month. https://www.quantcast.com/twitch.tv#trafficCard and Amazon bought it for $970 million dollars. Anyway this is a terrible derail. Good movie, go see it. Frustrated fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Apr 11, 2016 |
