12 Event Viewership Ranked

non-China

1. SEN vs GENG: 1,687,848
2. LOUD vs OPTC: 1,505,804
3. FNC vs LOUD: 1,444,670
4. EDG vs TH: 1,412,558
5. EG vs PRX: 1,291,045
6. ACEND vs GAMBIT: 1,089,068
7. SEN vs FNATIC: 1,085,850
8. OPTIC vs LOUD: 1,065,887
9. GENG vs TH: 914,131
10. FNC vs EG: 830,369
11. GAMBIT vs ENVY: 811,370 (criminally low for how entertaining all 3 maps of the final were. prob cuz it was 2021 and a 2nd event)
12. FPX(EU) vs PRX: 783,985 [criminally low for being the best masters tournament ever in terms of # of entertaining games # of clutches/moments (clips)]

takeaways: looks like the 2nd tournament of every year always does bad (despite most of them being in the summer). also now I know why Berlin and Copenhagen are so low in people's event rankings (despite being most entertaining masters, no one watched them)

no real clouted teams in copenhagen or berlin, and differing timezones for western viewers in tokyo and shanghai, so it does make sense

thought it was during Copenhagen or maybe even during Reykjavik when they upset the Guard and G2 (EU) with their W brainrot gaming

PRX DID NOT have that much clout in 2022 my man. they started to gain a massive global following AFTER that event

dk the exact stats but i think they had 52 million interactions this final so I'm pretty sure we could say that they got AT LEAST 10 million Preak viewers.

well yeah, true, but the viewership without china seems slightly concerning

i mean if you factor in the location I still think that the stats are insane especially considering the matches were at like 4AM to NA which comprise of the majority of the Non Chinese viewers.

I wonder what viewership valorant will get in Paris and then also see what viewership CS has in Shanghai

remember these stats from escharts don’t account for Chinese platforms.

According to riot:
Champs 2023 had 1.8 mil
Madrid 3.1 mil
Shanghai 2.3 mil
Champs 2024 had 3.4 mil BEFORE the top 4 (insane)
