JP viewership lost because DFM lost vs SEA viewership saved thanks to Talon?

Though Laz is going to continue with his watch parties so I guess quite a lot of Japanese viewers will still tune in.

Laz has only been watching Japanese teams lately, I don't think he will broadcast the final four

He said by the end of today's stream that he'll continue to watch Pacific until finals. Besides, he really seemed to enjoy GENG v. DRX

I think if this trend of Korean dominance continues pacific will see a gradual loss of viewership over the years unless pacific starts winning some international trophies. VCT Korean teams just don't have the global pull that LCK teams have

If Korean teams start to dominate we'd need Valo Faker who everyone could root for (or against) or PAC is actually doomed.

closest example i think is probably primmie since everyone was so hyped about him. But is a valo faker even possible in this game? Its so hard to stay consistent and dominate as long as faker didwith so much meta changes

Well, we'll need a rookie who just steps into the game and immediately starts dominating his veteran opponents, win the world championship in that same debut year, and keep winning for I don't know how many years. Even if it's not someone who follows the exact footsteps of Faker, well in that case it's going to be even harder to be as popular as him.

i think japanese viewers will still watch the match but not having any japanese or prx will surely affect the viewership from japan

Nah you can tell the views are declining.

Last year non japanese match that's not prx or geng will get you 20k on YouTube.

Now it's just 15k iirc

But DFM really saved the views this time tho.

I'm really relieved go see all the positive comments about DFM on YT and other Japanese forums, saying they are looking forward to split 1. Otherwise it might've actually been doom.

I have noticed that Japan viewership is always high despite the absence of jp teams. They just love watching eSports more than playing the game like me ig.

A fun match's a fun match, but having a team to root for could make a boring match quite enjoyable. Now a lot of Japanese fans have lost that in the kickoffs.
