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%.

eSports is one of the most interesting IT development in recent years. Changing the way Education professionals are educating K-12 and Higher Ed.

It's a sad day for our community and industry as we bid farewell to Sprout Esports after their decision to discontinue their esports efforts. Over the past 6 years, #Sprout has been a beacon of national and international success, fostering a strong community along the way. Their departure highlights a harsh reality within the esports industry - the struggle of the revenue model for esports teams, particularly when championship victories aren't constant and you are not regularly part of one of the bigger partner leagues. I sincerely hope that other teams and organizers will learn from past mistakes and work towards creating a more sustainable enviroment for the future. This announcement reflects a broader trend indicative of the challenges of a global economy: with numerous organizations in NA recently shutting down, the impact has now reached Europe. Moreover, this news hits hard for the esports industry in Germany, as Sprout has long been a respected member of the ESBD - eSport-Bund Deutschland e.V.. I think I've never met someone with a more burning passion about esports than Daniel Paulus - thank you for your contribution and I genuinely hope you'll continue to remain a part of the esports ecosystem. Sprout will leave a void that will undoubtedly be felt across the German esports landscape. Let's take a moment to appreciate Sprout's contributions to the esports world and reflect on the broader implications for the industry. Wishing the team members the best in their future endeavors. #Esports #Sprout #GamingCommunity #GrowSprout 🌱🎮
