During large tournaments, the LoL client has an inbuilt stream viewer so even if 80% of the playerbase doesn't 'follow the competitive scene' strictly, they get to see the games anyway. If SC2 had the same thing, we'd get 200k+ easily.
Even the smallest donations help keep sc2sea running! All donations go towards helping our site run including our monthly server hosting fees and sc2sea sponsored community tournaments we host. Find out more here.
