game viewership.
There are 3 main factors when it comes to high viewership count.
- If brazil or NA are in the grand final. Instant +400-500k viewers.
- If a superstar is in final. Another instant +400-500k viewers.
- If the final was very close between and got into multiple OTs on the last map. The viewership will 2x or 3x.
It doesnt matter if its a regular lan event or a championship or a major. As long as its a lan event. This will apply.
The fact that sentinel(NA team) with tenz(superstar) get to a very close intense final with geng hitting multiple overtime rounds brought up the views.
Cs final faze vs navi. They got stars but no superstars in the final. No s1mple playing. No brazil no NA no twistzz and it wasnt even a close game on map 3. Faze got shit on and they still have decent viewership count. That shows cs has a bigger audience than valorant in 2024 in general. Valorant still have a long way to go given its still young.
