And yet this weekend is the only weekend they receive that measured surge of Twitter posts. I'm pretty sure the video gaming and computer community measures up quite well against the cricket community when it comes to blogging. Way to not understand any context. I'm not saying that SC2 pro-gamers are more successful than other professional sports players lmao. Totally missing the point there, champ. | ||

Search ipl, and see if you can find a tweet about ign, there might be one by david ting, but thats it, and it increases by 20 tweets every 5 or so seconds. | ||

On the other hand, its nice to see that my 2 favourate sports are linked somehow. Looking forward to both competitions. This is quite a silly thing to say. | ||

If you check the twitter trend graph for #ipl at: http://trendistic.indextank.com/ipl/_30-days You notice a large spike when the Ipl 2012 season stats and if you flip it to 180 days almost nothing before that, those 180 days which obviously included ipl3 when it wasn't competing with the ipl. | ||

If we wait till next week and see if their tweets go back to their normal number range then I think you can say that it was definitely the starcraft causing it | ||

T20 is such a watered down version of the game to cater to the foreigners who want an alternative to football/baseball T_T ODI/Test are so much better. | ||

Here is the twitter stats for IGNProLeague over the last 180 days. http://trendistic.indextank.com/ignproleague/_180-days Point #1: "There is too little data for a full chart so we are showing only recent activity." - No one gives a damn about the IGNProLeague in any significant number. Point #2: The twitter stats for #IGNProLeague peaked at 11PM PST yesterday with a whopping 42 tweets in that hour! Poiint #3: The statistics for the hashtag ipl4 are even worse. Here is the twitter stats for the Indian Premier League. The 2012 Season began earlier this week. The 2011 season finished 28th May 2011 so is not relevant to the 180 days graph. http://trendistic.indextank.com/ipl/_180-days Those 180 days would include the period where IPL3 was played, notice there isn't even a blip. Flipping that graph to just the past 7 days: http://trendistic.indextank.com/ipl/_7-days Shows a peak on Tuesday equal to 0.06% of all traffic on twitter. Given that by recent statistics there are 340 million tweets a day on twitter: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=tweets per day&meta=#q=tweets per day&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=imvns&source=lnt&tbs=qdr:m&sa=X&ei=2leAT776EuyY0QWZqNiNBw&ved=0CBAQpwUoBQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=1f9f75d11f399bcc&biw=1280&bih=933 Then there are approximately 14 million tweets an hour so 0.06% of that is 8,500 tweets about the IPL from 9am to 10am PST on Tuesday. India is a country of over a billion people where the national sport is Cricket. Along with that Cricket is a big international sport, the IPL was shown on ITV4 in the UK last year for example. In contrast yesterday the IGNProLeague Starcraft stream peaked at around 60,000 viewers yesterday. Even if you were to add the second stream and LoL numbers that only brings it up to 240,000 viewers. In the UK alone the IPL was watched on ITV4 by nearly half a million people per broadcast last year. In India of those over a billion people a cumulative total of 146 million people watched the IPL last season. To those arguing that more people involved with esports also have an online presence may be true but here are some more stats. According to alexa.com you can find that http://www.teamliquid.net is the 3,980th most popular website. By contrast http://www.cricinfo.com is the 170th most popular website in world and the 16th most popular website in India. When I put IPL in to google it isn't until I get to the fourth page that I get anything to do with esports. | ||

But for the people saying the cricket league is so huge etc which is true the thing is i doubt there fan base reside that much on twitter. From friends and that i know they arent really into the whole twitter thing. Just my 5 cents. | ||
