now compare with other games

who gives a fuck about other games? ZIS IS QUAKE

those who wanna more quake events

considering the weekly streams get about 1200 and sundays about 2000.... 10k will look pretty good to people wanting to show more quake?????????????????

no

cs hit 100k :o and that was only semis, nip vs fnatic in 40min, grand final.

Dota2 190k
SC2 70.8k
CS:GO 30k

and they are all shit

sc2 actually takes skill tho

not really... SCBW!!!

Quite sure 500x more people watched twilight than the godfather.

Sparkly vampires>evul mobsters :o

best comment here.

Not really though, cause it's not a good comparison. More people has seen Godfather. Just look at the number of imdb ratings for example. 250k+ compared to 750k+. The fact is Godfather is considered the best movie ever made by many, so it's really popular. There are lot of great movies not as popular as Twilight though. So even though the idea was good, his comment is simply not true.

(If, for example, we are sticking with the vampire genre, one could mention From Dusk Till Dawn, which was seen by less people than Twilight, but is far superior.)

How many 15 year olds you know have an imdb account?

how many 20+ year olds do you know that have seen from dusk til dawn?

i watched it on TV years ago. sexy ass vampire strippers are so much better than sparkly queer ones.

Because I'm studying film: a lot. But in general not many.

.

dat troll tho

I wonder how smooth did stream work with 190k viewers, when it barely handles 5-10k??

Lol, it's only problem for Quake peasants. LoL master race have no problem with that shiet.

csgo had 130k+

at one moment it was bit more than 13k, i think 13,400.

awesome but quake deserves so much more :(((((((((

sick final

i saw around 13.500 in one moment, thats a great result :)

Real numbers were around 6.5-7k, then that v1lat fella told on his dota stream that viewers should watch Quake and it gave +6k boost, later on aroudn 10k overall stayed. Shit's cool though :)

Props to that v1lat fella then

it does not matter how many viewers each game has. Quake is best.

Quake is best, no question, but it would be great if there was a real huge ceremony like the big popular e-sports.

I mean, after a grand final like that between the two Quake gods that we all love and admire Quake and the champions deserve more than those almost confidential interviews and price givings we saw.

The casters also deserve a lot more for their huge work and commitment.

It was really frustrating to see those seats never 10% filled

I wish that this much discused new quake with ladder, graphics etc. comes out and that cypher, rapha, cooller and all these legend get in the spotlight

The seats were maybe 30% full at the early playoffs, 40-50% in the later stages (depending on match-up) and 110% during finals (people had to stand up). It was awesome.

What was shown on stream was the front rows only, maybe 50% of all seats. It was not nice sitting there because all the cameras on stage was blocking line of sight to casters.

I still fail too see the excitement to compare a really small outdated fast paced shooter game with current mainstream titles.

and cs gets 100k viewers.. fucking boring to watch too.

That's the thing I don't understand. After Quake final I tried to watch Dota and it's just dull compared to Quake, even though I play it myself and understand what's going on etc.
Ended up wachting a bit a sc2, the casting there was great.

actually, even considering the numbers of mobas, quake is still the winner.

i've seen moba games stream number rising over the years, and they will fall. quake has stable community and stable number of viewers.


also: props to the russian guy who redirected so many ppl :D

because it is a niche game and not growing.

never understood why quake players hate other games because they get more viewers :/
quake is the game that requires the most skill with sc2 in second and cs:go coming after it.
it's not others games fault for people not watching quakelive's stream,you had different streams for different games and you could watch as many streams as you want at the same time, its just people dont really care for a game like quakelive

[+] And there are reasons why people don't care about QL :).

considering how few people play ql, it's amazing how many views it gets

How many people play QL?

Qlranks found 493,153 Players.

I'd say that everyone made at least two accounts: 246k.

With the crazy people like Daddy_ then I'd say 100k.

With some people who made accounts and never played again I'd say 30k.

With the people who made account and play regularly at least weekly I'd say 10 000 players.

I wish SyncError or someone who has the answer to your question would give the answer or say if I'm close or VERY FAR from the right number :D.

you're pretty close I think, and honestly I believe its less than 10k

Yeah you know what, fuck this, I just refreshed and now QLranks now show 493,172 Players.

So you are actually right I'd say about 4000 players.

some of the 19 new accounts may be created due to people who watched the dreamhack stream .. hope!

now they just have to jump into duel to test their skills and get owned 32 / -4 and quit forever.

maybe some of them did play quake in the past and just had to be reminded of how great this game still is .. i'm kinda like one of those. (due to DHS 2013)
of course nearly none of the really new players will turn on playing quake after getting destroyed .. too much effort to be needed i guess.
moreover its harder to get "into" the community compared to CS or DOTA i think which is important for many people.

maybe :) anyway, it's really, really good that DH had more viewers. I'm happy :) even if 10 people stick with quake, it's something positive.

20k players have at least 10 days of time played.
(Awards -> Experience -> Ace)

Ty!

I think ~123 accounts per player might be *slightly* exaggerated.

270 new accounts on qlranks since the first time I checked today, lol.

I started collecting stats for ictf-stats.com since november 2012, so more or less one year from now.

since iCTF and normal, all weapon CTF games have same prefix for game id (ctf_xxxx-xxxx-xxx--xxxxx) i collect both, but only display stats for insta.

so, latest number of UNIQUE player nicks that played iCTF or CTF (or both) is ~48.500.

I hope this helps.

Wow, nice thanks a lot :D

thats nice, but he asked how many people play Quake..

Well, sorry mate, im not [id] employee :/

But the next best thing i could do is provide those numbers, so whatever number it is, is bigger than 48k.

- minus alias accounts
- providing that there are people who play quake but never played any i/CTF game in last year.

It's ok, I guess someone else will give us more infos! I hope.

can't be from america because there's like 20 people who play here

quake players are just jelly cos nobody cares about their precious gaem
hue hue hue

It seems like you want to be next ESR master trollo, but you're completly shit at it...

Cheers! :)

no i dont want to take your place bro ;;;;;;;)

I felt like something fishy was going on, at map one its been something like 5k viewers and all of a sudden within seconds its been 15k... wtf happend? :)

reading comments helps at times :) Thx

guess it wouldn't require more than apperance on twitch frontpage or something when it's primetime

map 1 5k
map 2 15k
delay
map 3 10k
map 4 10k
map 5 10k

iirc

True, basically 5k people left when they heard that they have to wait because Rapha has to restart his computer.


They just don't understand subtle art of playing on freshly restarted PC, it kinda aims for you.

:D :D
