Why does Champions have so little viewers compared to the Major in CS:GO? I love VALORANT so I hope the next Champions will have more. What do we think?
Numbers do not differentiate that much tbh, especially taking into consideration how long CSGO was establishing its esport scene and how long Valorant has been out. Valorants viewership will rise even further, it has the potential to be the most followed esport scene in the future, but I'd also like to see CS evolve with it and continuously challenge them.
I think its hard to compare right now because one Val is young and two Val has yet to have a Lan with a crowd. I think the best/strong comparison will be Champs this year in Instanbul with a crowd. Turkey has definitely taken to Valorant so the fans will be out in their number. Then we will truly see a decent barometer of Champs to Majors. But even then that would only be the second ever Champs and second ever LAN with fans so it would be a bit premature to take too much stock into the numbers
