Most viewers are from Americas/EMEA so of course it'll be low, timezones don't match

Knowing this I don’t understand riot’s obsession to make tournaments in Asia (I didn’t mind the times of games this time around tbf)

right… because China cares enough about a new esport to fake the number of viewers for this event

Your so delusional if you think they are real numbers I have seen so many threads from chinese people saying those numbers are fake not just for Valorant but also different esports I don’t even think they show live viewers but you can believe what you want to believe

Yes because they never said it’s live viewers? It’s a different metric lmao. Nobody ever said they were live view count it’s like an impression count or heat score. So it’s not “fake” if it was never views count. Sounds like you are the delusional one 😂

Because riot is able to get the view count after the event? And even then, you can estimate the number of viewers from the heat score since usually it’s 10x the viewers. Riot legit showed that viewship was like 40% from CN in Madrid

“ He then revealed that an EDG group match had a peak of 1 million viewers in China, despite the fact that the series started at 3 am local time.”

“These numbers are accurate because riot hires stream analytic firms/companies to gather/analyze data from the international events in LoL/Valorant after said events are over which allows them to determine accurate viewership numbers. But there is no accurate live metric for chinese viewership while events are ongoing, which is why china isn't included on escharts.“

How do you think riot can accurately get the peak view number ‘including Chinese viewers’ if they never knew what it was? I’m not wasting my time on this thread anymore I don’t think you have more than 3 brain cells

You said nobody thinks its live viewer count which is obviously wrong and I was talking about that you can decide to be retarded if you want but don’t call me dumb when your being dumb

Also fair enough for the stats but the viewership is still half of what it was in Madrid

It's not that they're fake viewers, it's that the 3.5 million represents heat and not concurrent.

This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It’s a different metric from live viewers I don’t think he knows what fake means.

fax bruh the millions number is the "heat" how popular the steam is. Usually divide the heat by 10-20 and thats about how many concurrent viewers you have.

They make the events in asia as they are trying to reach CN+the rest of asias audience/expand the game to other parts of the world (NA isnt the only region in the world, i know its hard to believe)

Tournament held in the Americas are much lower if you count china no? Its very bad for China and Apac viewers and those 2 individually outweigh Emea and equals Americas in view.

Central/east Europe probably have the best time for everyone

I live in Asia and these matches are suitable for me, why must they always cater to western audience?
