All the NA flags making fun of the EMEA viewership last week
Your region is dead in CS and you STILL pull even less viewers on Valorant 😭😭😭😭

No but seriously it seems like the game is not very healthy at least in the West

we’re not making fun of viewership, we’re making fun of the skill level of the region lol

| Region | Average Placement |
| -------- | ----------------: |
| EMEA | ~5.9 |
| Americas | ~6.2 |
| Pacific | ~6.5 |
| China | ~9.8 |

Hope this helps little one, but my biggest problem with this narrative isnt even the ragebaiting Americans, its the people who hype up the glorified one team region known as Papercific

highest “average placement” yet still cannot win it’s actually shameless

then be factual and call us "chokers", calling the highest placing region "bad" just makes you sound dumb

it's addicting but its very exotic if you havent been exposed to some form of moba already, maybe a bit too exotic imo.

Among many esports I have watched the American scene always faces a downfall quite fast in terms of viewership or game popularity. They seem to move on so fast from games there. Like cs, pubg, league, overwatch, apex for example. I mean games popularity eventually declines everywhere but it declines lot faster there.

Is there any esport that has managed to grow or remain stable in usa for long time?

Something nobody is bringing up is that Pacific's average is pretty horrendous when compared to the views PRX brings in. Take PRX away and Pacific might be the least popular region.

you have to look at individual countries/language of YouTube VCT channels, not just twitch. That RRQ match vs T1 pulled in like 20k+ viewers on Vietnam YouTube VCT channel alone when it's only BO3 and they only have crazyguy as a Viet player in RRQ

for SEA, not everyone speaks English and many prefer their native language

Escharts pulls views from every stream, Pacific's average was only 167k, Americas was 164k
