I watched the WCG stream and was impressed when the vieweres skyrocketed past 9000 to something like 15k. from the chat i had the feeling that a good number of them hadn't played lol before but seemed very intrested.

So, did you notice an significant increasement in new players after the streaming? or are such infos somehow confidential?

I was actually wondering this too. WCG was great publicity, wonder how many people LoL gained from it.

The stream was amazing. It made the game seem very exciting, even though the game was slow paced, but that's typical of high elo with 10 ghosts and 6 flashes.
