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.

I know they had a link to the streams, but I've never seen a live stream actually displayed in there?

Also, having a look at the number of players in each game, I think it's quite clear why LoL has more viewers.

LoL - Approx 1.4 million players daily.
SC2 - Approx 110k players daily.
