What an amazing match... anybody got the stats for viewership?
I'm convinced that there is a sweet spot that exists where Japanese, European, and East NA all have medium viewers, resulting in the highest view count. That being said, Saturday night is peak time for viewers. It wouldn't get too much better, but I was referring to the difference of ~50-100 thousand extra viewers if it was slightly better timed, to get it over 800k.
The shit-talk was just not there for this match, I feel. G2 showed that controversy does improve view counts. Not that it matters that much either way, though.

As of posting this, I don't think that game has been put in yet.
Edit: I'm dumb, obviously they are gonna wait until the Bo3 is over.
