T1 and DRX Break Viewership Records in Epic World Championship Finals
The 2022 World Championship of League of Legends has shattered its own peak viewership record during the intense grand finals between T1 and DRX. This historic series is being hailed as one of the greatest in the history of competitive League of Legends.
Held at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California, this highly-anticipated final series attracted an astounding turnout across various streaming platforms and channels. According to EsportsCharts, the Worlds 2022 reached a peak viewership of slightly over 5 million people.
Twitch emerged as the most popular platform for viewers, with 2.8 million fans tuning in on Riot Games’ official accounts and co-streamers. Meanwhile, YouTube also performed impressively with a peak viewership of 1.7 million.
Setting a New Record
This iconic five-game series surpassed the previous viewership record set by the 2021 World Championship, when Edward Gaming triumphed over DWG KIA. That series attracted 4 million viewers and set a high bar for future events. However, the unexpected Cinderella-like run of DRX in this year’s championship has captivated fans worldwide.
With the stage set and compelling storylines unfolding, millions of viewers eagerly watched from home, theaters, and stands as history was made. From the possibility of Faker becoming a four-time world champion to Deft securing his first Summoner’s Cup after a decade-long career, this tournament has left an indelible mark on the hearts of League fans.
