    Over 5,000 people watched the stream.

    And hosting a tournament in which we're trying to attract international participation so far away from our international airport would be a terrible idea.

    5k is not worth the detrimental effect to the players in attendance. International seems a bit of a jump, build an Irish staple first.

    Not everything has to be in Dublin, can get the gobus from the airport straight to Galway if that's an issue.

    There are regularly events held in Dublin and Galway currently.

    We wanted to try run an international event this time with overseas players and asking them to get on a coach for three hours or so straight after a flight would not be good.

    That being said, if a large event like this was ever held in Galway we'd support it as much as we could.

    One of the people running the SFIV tournament on Saturday was from Galway and he certainly wasn't complaining that it was in Dublin.

    I just thought, would eventbrite be an option for you to use to get signups?

    It could. They charge percentages so we could just account for it.

    I just want to say thanks to ayjay and everyone on the team who made the whole thing happen- running tournaments, streaming, MC-ing, recording brackets and everything else. I know it was stressful and a lot of work, but you all did a great job. I'm sorry to see some people expressing their opinions in a less than constructive manner- there's always room for improvement, no matter what you do, but I hope you guys don't let some poorly-worded feedback give you the wrong impression of how the day went. It was the first big tournament I've been to, and I had a great time. Congratulations on running a successful event, and I'm looking forward to the next one!

    The highest I saw it at was 628. It may have gone higher as I had to go off to play at that point.

    There was 5,000 views for the stream. Both of these are the highest figures I've ever had (I'm really more of a youtuber than a streamer).

    The highest I saw on the mobile client was 698, so it may have tipped 700 at one point.
    This was during Sh4rin's match.

    Ya sh4rin works for Riot Games and is pretty well known in the EU League of Legends community. He has about 30k followers on twitter and helped us a lot with promoting the stream on the day

    The app on Android has no access to archives. It's the one bad thing about it.

    Think the xbox app is the same.
