300k viewership in masters? without SEN Valorant is cooked for sure
I mean there’s many reasons for it though, like timezones and popularity of the team or region. For example, it’s no wonder mibr gets more viewers at normal times than trace vs g2. The Brazil fanbase is huge, the Chinese fanbase doesn’t watch on platforms that escharts factors into its viewership totals, and g2 is playing at a poor time for NA
The tournament isn’t doing too bad actually. 300k range is around what the game historically pulled for masters events located in Asia.
