Without a doubt, esports is constantly evolving. Accordingly, one such metric which is always improving is the likes of esports events. Moreover, 2022 has proven to be an awesome return to offline events, as we’ll discuss in our featured article for esports events viewership 2022!

Speaking of returning to offline, VALORANT esports in its young days is still looking to field more offline events. Taking the competition back to Reykjavik after some intense regional competition, Riot Games managed to host an incredible event.
Weirdly enough, the event actually recorded a higher peak viewership than the Stage 2 Masters event which featured a live crowd. Accordingly, at Reykjavik, the community watched as OpTic Gaming managed to raise the trophy for all of North America.
So far 2022 has been a great year for VALORANT, and we look forward to larger events such as VALORANT Champions which will be looking for a year on year improvement.

Contributing to this was the rise of T1, featuring a flawless run setting records never seen before and dominating the rest of the competition. Let’s see if the Summer event will feature similar figures.
