Why is the NA viewership so low?

Even tho the peak is higher in NA
EU has higher avarage viewership in Challanger 1 than NA.
Plus EU is pulling these numbers without any big watch parties like Tarik, Kyedae and Sinatraa.
Is NA dead or just boring?

EMEA matches are watched by asians too , not to the same extend in NA's case (because of timezones)

Scene too early to judge the viewership

Well that is actually great news. At least one region is not dependant on popular streamers costreaming or popular streamer teams playing.

It means that the viewers of EMEA care about the competition and not their favourite content creator batchest

imagine the emea viewership if they had tarik, shroud, kyedae, pokimane and ludwig co-streaming it with 40k viewers each

My guess is that average is better but NA's peak is higher is because in EU they have more exciting games, i don't mean better teams etc, just look at VCT for NA VS EU, IN NA group 1 u got basically a guarantee that either EG and LG are dropping out or 100T's and EG are dropping out, There isn't anything in it same with group 2 there, Either Knights and NRG drop or Rise cause an upset and lose out.

Look at EU now
U have TL throwing pretty hard considering they got top spots last vct, Then u have Navi and FPX Completely coming from nowhere and maybe qualifying, in group 2 u have Guild absolutely destroying when they weren't even expecting to really be in the running for VCT.

There's more teams which are bigger in EU which are losing and causing upsets, while in NA the groups are going basically as planned, There's more hype around EU, That simple

A bigger factor is probably the time, NA viewers are usually 90% NA coz of time, EU has all of EU plus SA plus SEA and many more

Yeah NA games especially the second one is on at terrible times for anyone but NA. And most people aren't that interested in EG v Knights for battle of who sucks less so they just dont watch

NA also hasnt had some of their better matchups yet. No one trying to watch Knights v LG or some trash tier game. I know some of the watch parties just play ranked or do something else during the trash matchups, because they really just aren't interesting. And some of the late games are on at degen hours for every region but NA.

name totally checks out, but it's maybe for the level? As a viewer from outside both regions, i enjoy more the matches from EU in general, idk maybe the pace, the strats, etc... In NA i watch because i follow some of the players careers since CS
