    Anyone else find that pretty cool, obviously the top 10 are probably aeons ahead in terms of viewers but the fact we are in top 20 in terms of viewers was a pleasant suprise to me

    Great to see Ireland in there :)

    I subscribe every GSL season, but not the GSTL, just watch GSTL if I have time.

    From the source: (Ireland) 아일랜드 <3 SC2

    theres only about 20 countries in the world that have the infrastructure to watch online streams. Its no suprise, Irelands esports scene is practically non-existant, but we're not a 3rd world country. Not really a big suprise.

    edit: about 40 countries, sorry. And only about 10 that watch in decent numbers.

    One of the better Total Annihilation players in the world is Irish so we're batting above average in one RTS anyway. Not that the televise TA matches mind you.

    Wow

    19th.

    I dream of a day when we might surpass the legendary SC scenes of Poland or Belgium.

    Were above Italy spain and russia, which are all bigger 'esports' countries than us.

    Pretty good if you ask me.

    Glad you edited that. needless to say, while widespread national coverage is spotty in alot of places (Ireland included) nearly every country in the world has spots of high bandwidth capability. For example, you can get broadband in Iraq now :p
