Quoting for visibility since a lot of people seem to be missing this. On April 08 2012 00:39 MVTaylor wrote: Okay, maybe I need to make one final post on the matter so people can actually understand this. 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. | ||

No, its not. Indian Premier League sells out 40-70,000 seater statiums basically every game. Most players get paid in excess of $1,000,000 per year and people like Dhoni probably get around $10,000,000 per year and it is viewed by millions and millions of people in countries all over the world (More people view the IPL than MLB). IGN Pro League is viewed by around 50,000 people and has a prize pool of $150k. | ||

Well... Something like 8% of Twitter users are from India (Acorrding to this) so I wouldn't be too sure about that. Given that IPL4 is likely to have viewership in the hundreds of thousands and IPL cricket has viewers well over 100 million, I would daresay the IPL4 is not likely to be a major impact. | ||

And 1/3 are from the U.S. alone lol. That's more than four times as many Twitter updates coming from America than India. The percentage of Twitter is clearly not a strong argument for India. It's how large and how vocal your community is. The cricket community is much larger, but the percentage representation they're going to receive via blogging isn't going to be as high in comparison to a computer-based group. What percentage of cricket fans have Twitters? Now what percentage of SC2 fans have Twitters? The cricket site even said that this weekend in particular is an unprecedented number of tweets. | ||

Most people who watch the IPL in India will probably no afford computers. People in other countries such as UK and Australia will probably watch it but no tweet about it. | ||
