Like, uniqe views are kind of a good number?

It's hard to directly compare Dreamhack and MLG as their competitions have different lineups: Dreamhack for instance has 6 different games: Counter-Strike 1.6 Quake Live Super Street Fighter IV Tekken 6 StarCraft II Heroes of Newerth Whereas MLG only had 3 games: Call of Duty Halo Reach Starcraft II In either case, I wasn't aware Dreamhack garnered that many unique views, this is awesome to hear! I personally can't wait to see the numbers for the Summer Dreamhack
You are comparing the wrong thing.
The Dreamhack Inv. in Stockholm was a 100% SC2 event over one day.

no one disappointed it's just 450? I mean it's three games and three days. I thought the stream quality and content would at least generate one million clicks, considering how many gamers got internet nowdays. I feel like the word of MLG could've been spread a bit better

It is on bad EU/KR time.

What is up with the NFL comparison? It's a draft not a game.
Still impressive just not sure why that's even mentioned.

We don't break out streams by titles. 450k HOLY SHI- Now THAT'S impressive. Btw, with 22.5M streams, considering that about 20% could use add-block(me included), that's 18M advertisements through a weekend. Make it 2 cents per ads(I'm not sure, I'm just making assumptions) that's 360k dollars through a weekend. I think its okay. <edit> @up 450k is a record in SC2 history afaik.
No - the first GSL match with Boxer broke 700k viewers

And that's only korea - GSL international viewers were around 100k

If that counts refreshes I probably contributed about 2K views over 3 days.

Why is it a bad thing that is bigger than NFL drafts?

Great news!
And for those hating in this thread - even if only 60-70% of these 450 000 people watched StarCraft2 it's really impressing numbers.
The only comparable would be Dreamhack Invitational which had about way over 100 000 simultaneus viewers and about 400-500 000 unique viewers.

Its worse than just evenings in EU. If you want to watch it, it starts at like midnight and finishes at like 6am. Which is pretty much the opposite of my sleep schedule :D. Halo used to finish at like 3am but SC2 like to last longer... So it looks like in the summer I'm messing up my sleep schedule for this :D.

You know, MLG did have a rebroadcast after it finished, don't know what the euros are complaining about.

you are wrong, check the calendar and then say it's not perfect timing to generate at least one click from an european gamer
