Recently, there have been questions over competitive Rainbow Six Siege and its future as an esport. Indeed, this was mainly focused on the North American region. However, if the Six Invitational showed us something, it’s that Brazil is where it’s at. Read on as we jump into Six Invitational Viewership – we’re pleased to say it’s a bump up from last year!
Six Invitational Viewership – Beating Last Year’s Live Event
For those unaware, last week the Six Invitational concluded as the largest event of the year for Rainbow Six Siege. Bearing this in mind, viewership and general success is essential for an event like this. How do we determine success? We’ll do this by comparing it to last year.
Last year, the Six Invitational 2020 was held offline in front of a crowd before the global crisis hit. Here are the numbers it achieved thanks to Esports Charts:
- Peak Viewership – 303,155
- Average Viewers – 130.358
Now, moving on to this year, the event was played offline but with no crowd. Did that result in any difference or disadvantage? It doesn’t seem so, as the numbers would once again reveal:
- Peak Viewership – 306,494
- Average Viewers – 156,548
While not a massive leap, it is still a step forward for Rainbow Six Siege. Following such a performance, we hope the scene can keep it up in time for our next esportsguide esports tier list.
