truthfully idc about these viewership comparisons but it seems so weird to me to boast about viewership when there’s drops

ubisoft, blizzard valve also does the same thing lel but are u sure a fucking dad hat really gives others incentive to watch cause that's kinda pitiful cause its mid than the sparkbuddies that they used to give
in the invitational they used to give out whole operator bundles and it didn't really reach the viewership tbh
I think its more that brazil and emea are really out here to support their teams

they give drop souvenir cases for valuable skins that had actual monetary value latest one was in the rio major
dad hats and a measley title are not worth anything tho all cosmetic , i still believe its cause of support of LOUD

Those are not drops. Those are rewards for completing missions in the major viewer pass. Has nothing to do with watching the games.

still gave major incentive to watch the tourney, the amount of monetary value u could get from those which benefits the tourney compared a couple dad hats and title pales in comparison

I didn’t say it’s a bad thing. My point is that it artificially boosts viewership. It’s a good thing that Riot wants to bring more attention to the esports scene though.

Seems weird to even compare the two. LOCK//IN is a bigger tournament than Katowice. If anything, LOCK//IN is more like a major or Cologne

I mean even at its worst (Rio major), it still peaked at 1.4 mil. I’d say that’s pretty impressive considering it was only slightly under LOUD vs Optic at Champs (which is the most viewed match at lock//in as well)

csgo peak was 2.7 mil in 2021 stockholm major the viewership has only gone down hill since while valo has increased every year

it only fell off in the same way that every esport did cuz of COVID becoming less of a problem. IEM Cologne reached the highest viewership of all colognes, and rio is rio, there were no good teams in playoffs so viewership was low. it would be the same if only underdogs made playoffs at LOCK IN.

this is a giga cope lmfao. cs fell off hard along with dota which was even worse than csgo. league hit its highest peak ever in 2022 along with val.dota dropped to 1.75mil from 2.7 and cs to 2.1 mil from 2.7

league shouldn't be compared with any other esport. val faced the same drop at copenhagen that cs did at rio. this is what happens when unpopular teams make the grand finals of the biggest stage.

why shouldn't league be compared just cuz it doesn't fit your cope lmao? cs 2022 antwerp was their most viewed major with 2.1 mil viewers and had massively popular teams in the finals.didn't come close to stockholm (600k viewers drop).valorant also hit its highest peak in champions consistently growing. cs is in a downward trajectory its as simple as tha.funfact the average viewership of antwerp major final was 1.1mil despite having a 2.1mil peak compared to val which had a 1.2mil average with a 1.5 mil peak showing much higher retention

escharts only uses twitch most of the time. Its usually less accurate as they dont count yt properly, and they dont show which platforms they are counting on.

You seem to know more than I do. Can you explain why they don’t count YT properly? Escharts claims to account for every major streaming platform besides bilibili

Ok so you don’t actually know, you just assumed based off of those viewer counts? I’m more inclined to believe in escharts’ algorithm because they know something I don’t

It's not from the main channel only. Streamer and other channel such as br from both twitch and YouTube are already accounted from. The only unaccounted is from website like bilibili or illegal streamer that doesn't have riot permission
