Honcast Stream Reaches 12000 Viewers

[Wolfrar]

12000 Viewers the most a HoN stream ever had?

Descent amount of viewers for HoN, competitive scene still alive and kicking.

Shame theres only like 10 people watching it live on a 12 inch monitor LOL.

[Nasty``]

they dont watch the game, they just see breaky touching his dick every now and then. who else saw it?

There's quite a few in the BYOC area watching the stream on their comps as well.

[Kolapz]

Didn't DreamHack Summer 2010. finals have like 25k?

But yes, 12k is great.

[error_exe]

gosugamers world cup had like 25k

[Nidjo]

Only due to Hatman...

There will be more online tonight (US time). Yesterday at this time there were maybe 3000 people on, then at yesterday night there were about 9000. I think that Americans make up a large part of the viewers and they'll be tuning in tonight especially, for the biggest event at DH.

I'd expect at least 15,000 if not 20k.

[Berethorn]

it hit over 14k

pretty sure it was DYA

[JAH`]

Honestly I wouldn't expect all that many people to watch (as compared to the world cup, winter dh, dya etc), the finals game probably won't be very good.

[ilikeschimps]

Take that number and multiply by 10 and u have LoL viewers... just sayin

[Quillraven]

take the # of lol players and hmmm divide it by 100 and you have the hon playerbase ... just sayin

Pretty pessimistic attitude dude :( u make me sad... I am just looking forward to chillin with a spliff and watching some quality HoN play

[KorokFanNr1]

You just need 9 people to start a game of hon so whats your point there.

[Sphino]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The math was already done

Sc2 loses

[Nasty``]

my small brain missread

[FtFF]

Streams of the LoL stream had more people watching than the HoN stream - fun fact. Who cares, though.

[el_alcazar]

Lol player ingame = streamviewers gues why

[Danelaan]

Lol player ingame = streamviewers gues why


Evidence or didn't happen. There's only a link on their client. ;)

People didn't tune in later because honcast usually doesn't go live that early. The EU playerbase is larger than the US.

[SmackTrick]

LoL stream had 70k viewers when they were showing a splash screen. Maybe they just enjoy that darn screen a lot.

Also, LoL had like 1+ hour queues to get in to the game (WTF?!) while the stream was going on. I wonder what everyone was doing while they were in the queue

[FreudianTrip]

The LoL stream automatically loads within the launcher. Meaning anyone queuing was technically a viewer.

From what I've read that's not true, hope you're not making **** up in such an arrogant fashion.

[Ginchan]

but seriously, why is the login queue for LoL supposedly over 1 hours long when over 190K players are watching the stream. something seems shaddy..

It might have ... Cos LoL is a free game, wich means a lot more ppl is playing free game then spent 30$ for the real on :D

But anyway who cares about LoL ... When ever I see a youtube clip of that game it just makes me ... lol :D I just laugh at that kiddo graphics :)

Anyway, the only reason why I do like community of HoN is 'cos of the competitive scene :) 12k ppl is rly nice :D

Keep up Breaky

[Otherside]

slow login servers to make the numbers look inflated?

[SmackTrick]

Ok, I just checked LoL forums for fun. People are experiencing up to 4 hour queue times to log in to LoL. And once the queue time finishes, stuff like friend lists might not work (meaning you cant que except solo).

So yeah. I wonder how happy HoN players would be if there was a 4 hour que time to play.

[Radiohead]

I'm updating LoL to see if that's true, but the patch has over 80MB o.o

[Berra_la]

Easy to get many viewers when you're the only allowed streamer.

eheheh sounds like every game you play in, lvl 3 witch 15 minutes in?

[Paulz]

LoL has a stream that automatically starts playing if u have the game open, how many are actually watching is unknown. WoW use to do the same, if you visited 1 of about 5 website you automatically became an mlg viewer which bumped the viewers up way over than what the stream would have normally

[Hsssh]

Wasn`t winter dh MSI stomping drdz in the finals?
