Esports Charts & Streams Charts’ Post

Can teams outshine their esports titles? 🌟 Recently, the RLCS 2024 World Championship viewership statistics caught our eye: the playoffs match between G2 Esports Stride and Karmine Corp was the most popular game of the event, achieving over 100,000 more concurrent viewers than the event’s ultimate grand finals. Usually, we expect viewership to steadily increase throughout the playoffs stage, but sometimes, the event record happens during earlier matches. This phenomenon isn't new to esports and happens across multiple scenes. For instance, MOONTON GAMES Mobile Legends: Bang Bang matches usually have higher peaks before the finals at world championship events thanks to match-ups that represent both the game’s Indonesian and Filipino audiences. Counter-Strike’s peaks were largely due to popular teams coming together (i.e. Natus Vincere + FURIA), whereas Sentinels alone were able to fuel Valorant viewership, as the red organization outgrew the NA Valorant scene. However, competitiveness can be just as important as popularity. G2 Esports vs T1 Entertainment & Sports was not the Grand Final at Worlds 2019, but these two were accepted as the world’s best by many fans, and their match outperformed the Final by 7%.
