The Rise of Viewership at League of Legends World Championship 2020
The viewership for the 2020 League of Legends World Championship has been consistently increasing during this year’s exciting group stage.
Top Esports’ impressive victory over DRX today attracted a peak viewership of 1.7 million, making it the most viewed match on day three, according to Esports Charts. The day also recorded over one million average viewers and a total of more than seven million hours watched.
This match showcased a battle between two of the best teams at Worlds and the top squads in Group D. There was a lot at stake as TES aimed to maintain their dominance over the group, while DRX aimed to uphold Korea’s undefeated streak and challenge one of the tournament favorites.
Although this matchup was highly anticipated, it only ranked as the fourth-highest peak viewership of Worlds 2020. LGD Gaming’s match against Gen.G on October 3 achieved a peak viewership of 1.8 million, the highest peak of the tournament so far.
Tomorrow, fans can expect to witness another potential record-breaking viewership as G2 Esports takes on Team Liquid in the first match of the day. The classic NA vs. EU rivalry always attracts high viewer counts, despite NA’s current performance not meeting expectations.
With consistent peak viewership reaching around a million, Worlds continues to establish itself as arguably the biggest esports tournament of the year. Don’t miss out on all the action when Worlds returns on Tuesday, October 6 at 3am CT.
