The one guy who actually streams everything regularly and puts effort into his content is carrying viewership. yep shocker lol.
edit: Its sad that these pros all see this success yet a lot of them wont even stream meaningless $200 cash cups...
The fact there's regularly cash prize events running in the game client which no-one streams still surprises me to this day.
The format of the tournament system is tailor made for a nice stream - typically some easier matches at the start when everyone is on even points, then some increasing difficulty, leaderboard starts to shake out a bit, and then a dramatic last game or two with better players. Never eliminated, often a single pop off game away from $$. Hell, there's even a big pop-up on the front menu of the game which tells everyone a tournament is live and helps direct players onto Twitch, etc.
All in a nice 3 hour bundle of content. And it makes for a great Youtube cutup as well - 3 hours of footage edits down nicely to 10-15 minute highlights.
During FNWC we had players streaming with 5+ minute delays (I advised more of the concerned players to do this), without facecam, no comms, etc. and still pulling huge viewership....and for whatever reason only one org streamed it...
