It will never reach level we see in Iceland ever again, we have to accept that.

I said it in previous comments few months ago

Iceland was the perfect storm, teams that have NEVER met before meeting for first time ever, in a LAN environment, with hype behind all the regions due to the unknown. The 'unknown' is now gone, the hype has lessen, we will never see the Iceland viewer number again (and that's OK)

bonus comment: someone thinking 1.5m viewer in Berlin 2 months ago: https://www.vlr.gg/post/128867/master-berlim

edit: forgot to mention Shroud streaming, when he was at the height of his co-streaming popularity as well

most unpoular teams reached finals if any of sen/100t/acend/g2 were here it would have reached 1m mark point
but true that was a perfect storm

as I said, it hit super high viewership is because of teams never facing before.

Is like as if Real Madrid vs Man City meet for the first time ever, but if that happen regularly every 3 months, then obviously the subsequent meeting between teams will gather less and less viewership. That is my comparison

hey I predicted 1,5 million
but lets be honest if it wouldve been G2 vs SEN it woudlve easily had more than a million and it would go up there.
same with acend but this matchup isnt really the fan favorite

also there was no crowd

I agree, people not expecting Envy, and probably Gambit too.

people got hyped by the sen vs g2 800k+ match, but we got arguably the least popular teams in the final from the playoff bracket

For people who are concerned about views, we are already have 700K viewship in a final with not that much known teams. Now imagine Champions. The best of the best teams of all regions. Already known names and names which people learned through this tournament. That tournament will break these records

It's sad cause this playoffs is way better than iceland. Better players, better matches, better teams in the Finals.
