navi vs heroics had less than 457k peak viewers wtf
semi final of a big tournament with barely anyone watching
data from esports charts link
how many viewers are you guys predicting for lock in? avg and peak
Idk it’s weird. CSGO just reached an all-time concurrent player peak but Kato is getting lower viewers. I think it will probably hit like 700-800k for the finals but idk why no one’s watching while so many people are playing.
Lock//in is gonna get a lot of viewers because of the artificial boost that comes with a long break from valorant tournaments, maybe 1.2 mil
I mean yeah, I'm talking about prestige and numbers. If we're talking about other stuff is different, I don't really think winning a Champions is harder than winning a Masters, it's the best teams at the moment giving their 100% after all, but it's just not the same, and there will never be as many people watching a IEM or a Masters as there is a Champions or a Major.
Saying Lock In is a Major is like saying MSI in LOL is a Major for example
I dont think lock-in and MSI are comparable.
Lock-in is such a unique event.
Its really a launch party of the new age of valorant esports.
New rosters, teams with huge fanbases which dont normally reach these huge events.
Msi on the otherhand is a very disliked repetitive mini event featuring a small slice of teams.
I think an MSI is more equitable to a masters event.
lock-in ≠ a masters event imo
I think its fair to compare a major and a Lock-in though I expect lock-in to blow rio out of the water in terms of numbers.
valorant gets more viewership because they are giving visibility to other regions than europe america and brazil, i mean obviously why would asians, brazilians, americans watch cs when they are only getting rolled out by eu and cis that's why they went to valorant and even with that cs is fighting in viewership
Its dead cause valve does shit to grow the game in other regions. No one wants to invest in CS when literally there's no incentives. At one point there was interests for asian region. With no org growth the scene dies and you won't see players competiting lol. Its gonna get worse for CS now unless valve actually does something other than selling skins.
no one wants to invest in CS in minor regions because it's too late for that, you cant just irrupt in a game dominated by a region in the last decade and pretend to start winning trophies. Like in LOL you cant just come with a lot of money to europe or na and pretend to win worlds when you are going to get rekt by asians
