StarCraft-II-Competitive-MultiplayerBloody hell, that’s a lot of StarCraft II, I hear you say – and you’d be right.

During the ESET UK Masters, record breaking numbers were recorded on the Twitch TV channel, with over 20,000 concurrent viewers watching 225,861 hours of StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm multiplayer. Again, bloody hell, that’s a lot of StarCraft II.

“The ESET UK Masters has once again proven to be a tremendous success, drawing unprecedented numbers via Twitch and live at Insomnia48 itself,” Said Quinton Watts, VP Marketing and Sales, ESET. “It’s clear from the high turn-out, community support and intense excitement levels that things are going to get better and better for eSports in the UK.”

In other news, we’ll be bringing you a couple of interviews with the top StarCraft II competitive players soon, so stay tuned for that! Don’t forget to check out our review of Heart of the Swarm, whilst you’re here.

StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm is available now for Windows PC. I still haven’t played it, which makes me a sad panda.
