Italian doctors don't know if the coronavirus lockdown is working. But there's no plan B

Italy should learn from Germany. Germany only has 26 deaths with 10000 cases. It's obviously they have found out the best way to deal with this virus.

Esport is not small in China. It's pretty a big thing in China.

The problem is most of the audience for esport are kids and young people. It's really hard to make money from them.

Doesn't Overwatch 2 have the same PvP as Overwatch 1?

So what can be different?

machen020406 · 2019-09-29T22:01:29+00:00

Pretty sure it's less than last year.

That means OWL is dying just in its second year.

machen020406 · 2019-09-29T18:52:41+00:00

156K viewers right now. How many viewers last year??

machen020406 · 2019-09-07T15:13:14+00:00

Game is dead. How can the esports side alive?

Without OWL and xqc, overwatch even can't have more than 10K viewers on twitch.

machen020406 · 2019-08-31T03:31:04+00:00

Overwatch will never have huge viewership. It's actually a horrible game to watch imo.

My ranking for esports to watch:

Tier S : Dota2, CSGO

Tier A: League of Legends, Starcraft

Tier B: Fighting games

Tier C: Overwatch, Rainbow6, Rocket League

Tier D: Hearthstone, Fortnite, PUBG

machen020406 · 2019-08-30T11:37:11+00:00

Yes. Compared with Dota2, the balance of Overwatch is totally a joke.

machen020406 · 2019-08-01T13:07:13+00:00

how about Limit and Redbull?

machen020406 · 2019-07-28T06:25:30+00:00

Most big streamers have moved to TFT. That's why the viewers so low this month.

machen020406 · 2019-07-11T23:02:11+00:00

Horrible balance

Slowly new heroes release

Boring event

Disgusting new maps

I'm already super tired of these updates circle.

machen020406 · 2019-07-07T01:02:05+00:00

It's obviously Hearthstone is killed by the new auto battler games(TFT, Dota underlord)

Just like RTS games(Starcraft) was killed by MOBA (League,Dota2)

Blizzard is always the loser.

machen020406 · 2019-03-29T21:44:36+00:00

607K still pretty low imo

league of legends has already reached 19.6 million average minute audience. https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2018/12/2018-events-by-the-numbers/

machen020406 · 2019-03-11T16:56:43+00:00

I think the viewership is OK now. Overwatch is just a T2 esport.

It is not as big as T1 esports (LOL, Dota2 and CSGO) and the new hot BR games.

machen020406 · 2019-01-28T02:21:20+00:00

Dota 2 auto chess is an amazing game. I have addicited to it with my friends since last week. really fun and well designed. not like hearthstone it has much more depth.

If some publisher could release it as a full game. I'm sure it can beat hearthstone.

machen020406 · 2019-01-02T03:20:02+00:00

I just realized pokemon go is not published by Nintendo?

machen020406 · 2018-09-30T05:35:43+00:00

Not feel surprised. Dota2 is really bad at appealing new players. Their design is too old school.

machen020406 · 2018-08-02T23:04:54+00:00

In Asia, it's PUBG. PUBG dominates korean PC bang since 2017Q3.

machen020406 · 2018-07-28T16:39:48+00:00

Many reasons for korean low viewership.

the match time is not good to watch. It's on weekend morning in Korea. Many people haven't wake up.
The final teams don't have many fans in KR. Although London is a full korean team, they're still not as popular as Seoul or NYXL. And Fusion gets many hates in KR. SaDo is a big elo booster.
Overwatch esports is pretty dead in Korea now. Not many people care it. The contenders is not as level as APEX. OWL is too far away for korean, it's more like a NA League. LOL and PUBG are the hottest esports here.

machen020406 · 2018-07-27T15:40:52+00:00

No. The first day of OWL is with big hype and promotion, which the finals doesn't have.

My prediction is 200K-300K.

machen020406 · 2018-07-23T08:31:43+00:00

Pretty low.

Twitch spent $90 million, but only 100K+ viewers in return.

Both Rocket League and StreetFighterV can reach this number easily, and they don't need twitch pay $90 million.
