Viewership is simply essential for an esport to grow and is a great way to measure the state of a discipline. Accordingly, here at esportsguide we’ll be taking a look at the Top 5 Viewed Events July and discussing each one. Let’s dive right into this exciting featured article.
Before we get started, do note that all statistics were derived from publically available pages on Esports Charts.
#5 – TI10 Western Europe Qualifier
- Peak Viewers – 546,300
- Average Viewers – 216,338
- Prize Pool – N/A
- Online
Starting at number 5, it’s great to see a competitive Dota 2 event in the ranks.
Notably, this is no ordinary event, but a prequel to the return of the very exciting The International coming later on this year. Acting as the largest event of the year for the entire esports industry, this qualifier was only a taster of what was to come.
Bearing this in mind, we have extremely high hopes with regards to viewership for The International this October.
Also, the single available seed available was claimed by none other than the legendary organization of OG – can they make it a third win at The International?
#4 – LCK Summer 2021 – Top 5 Viewed Events July
- Peak Viewers – 559,666
- Average Viewers – 185,640
- Prize Pool – $336,000
- Online + Offline
Moving on to the other top MOBA, we have the most popular LoL franchised league in the world.
Accordingly, the above statistics were reached in the middle of the season – the LCK Summer season is still ongoing and could climb higher in terms of viewership.
Specifically, we’re looking forward to seeing the viewership bump up towards the end as teams fight for seeds before the Playoffs.
Otherwise, such statistics behind the LCK Summer 2021 is only confirmation that even though the LPL is on top of competition, the LCK remains more popular.
#3 – Liga Brasileira de Free Fire 2021 Series A Stage 2
- Peak Viewers – 598,885
- Average Viewers – 168,138
- Prize Pool – $188,618
- Online
Now we have our first mobile esports entry for the list as we get closer to the top.
Indeed, it’s awesome to see some competitive Free Fire on the board. What’s incredible here is that this online event only offered a relatively low prize pool, yet it was still enough to attract the attention of half a million viewers.
Furthermore, this all took place at a humble regional event with not much on the line.
Considering all this, Free Fire will continue to be on our radar as one of the top mobile esports and esports in general.
#2 – IEM Cologne 2021 – Top 5 Viewed Events July
- Peak Viewers – 843,369
- Average Viewers – 235,354

And then, of course, we have IEM Cologne 2021. Blowing off the doors for competitive CS:GO, it celebrated the return to offline competition for the community.
With an incredible prize pool, legendary players and historic moments, IEM Cologne 2021 was exactly what CS:GO needed at that point in time.
Overall, the event is officially one of the most popular CS:GO events of all time.
Taking place a few weeks before the player break, the event single-handedly brought a new sense of energy into the competitive scene which looks to bring an awesome new season shortly.

Otherwise, the event took place only a week and a half after its announcement which only makes the viewership statistics even more incredible.
With the highest peak and average viewers on the list PUBG Mobile continues to crush it as the world’s top mobile esport and one of the best esports out there.
