Why in the offical Hon Facebook page showing pictures from the NASL finals is there no one at the event? I mean there is absolutely no one there but players and the two dreadful casters, kinda sad really.

You gotta remember that the match took place at 9 AM on a Friday. A lot of people are still at school/work and aren't able to come today at all.
Even now, I'm watching Mana vs. Morrow and there's maybe 150 people here total. Maybe a few more.
I asked the NASL people and they assured me that attendance is much better on Saturday and ESPECIALLY Sunday. We expect it to be packed most of the day on Sunday.
there were a strong ~8000 viewers on stream
strong 30k vieweres for starcraft and there was 14k for hon. I have faith.
For more than two hours. Obviously.
You mean like the absolutely packed theater at Dreamhack last week with the line across the convention center so long that people went to our booth to watch the game instead?
Such bad trolls these days. People need to try harder.![]()
I wasn't watching the stream all morning but when I looked at the beginning of game one, there was 14k watching the stream. At that point, there was still like 110 minutes of game still to be played in that series.
And for Dreamhack, I was there. Anyone else at the event can vouch for the line that HoN had.
Here is the difference, Dreamhack is an event with a LOT of games being played. People travel internationally just to go to Dreamhack, it's a big event, a lot more teams, a lot more HoN and a lot more value. NASL is just SC2 and two games of HoN/day.
There is no reason for anyone to pay $25 and spend 2/3 hours to watch two games of HoN. Pictures say more then 1,000 words of your speculative bullshit, show me a picture of the HoN crowd BEFORE the first game starts. I'll be surprised if you can get more then 50. But good luck trying.
Too early to tell. As some guy said, theres no one really at SC2 either. Friday mornings, most people busy.
I heard S2 payed large sums only to get attention to their game.
Therefore playing at 9am on friday in front of 20 people must have been worth the money.
But that's S2 advertising for you .... if they ever consider it, it fails miserably.
Like that "zoom in zoom out zoom in zoom out zoom in zoom out" cameragay at the interview.
UABOUT NOMAD?
