Japanese viewership is insane

#1

Vortexy

Can someone explain to me why Japanese matches are getting so many views? especially considering that the FPS genre is significantly less popular compared to other regions.

before val came in jp apex legends was already very big so the fps market was already there, where the massive fps market/interest came from idk

Valarante child game looks like anime so some japanese anime fans get confused and watch pro matches instead of anime.

Pandering to a region is not considered respect. It's considered feeling sorry for them.

You are single and alone, right?

People like you are never going to understand what is like to give respect and be respected by others.

Crazy raccoon CR cup brought a lot of casual viewers into the FPS scene. This also coincided with the rise of CR valo roster, and many popular Japanese streamers co-streamed their games. Zeta has the more hardcore fans that come from cs with Absolute, and coach xqq brought some people over from overwatch and rainbow six.
