Ever since the inception of competitive VALORANT last year, expectations were high. Accordingly, with VALORANT Champions 2021 this past weekend, there’s a lot to discuss. Read on as we highlight the VALORANT Champions 2021 Viewership!
VALORANT Champions 2021 Viewership – Impressive Growth
Viewership is huge in esports. Indeed, it’s a great marker of how interested the industry is in the esport and can be used to determine growth and popularity. As you can imagine, viewership for the inaugural VALORANT Champions 2021 was incredibly important – and it didn’t disappoint.
Below, find the details for the event as made public by Esports Charts:
- Peak Viewers – 1,089,068
- Average Viewers – 469,083
- Prize: $1,000,000
- Offline
As it stands, that makes it the most popular competitive VALORANT event ever, narrowly beating Stage 2 Masters Reykjavik.
Indeed, what’s more impressive is that Riot Games managed to achieve this all within a year. Accordingly, even back in February of this year, the NA Stage 1 Masters event only managed to yield 300,000 peak viewers.
This was all made possible thanks to Riot’s strategy. For the event they focused on co-streaming through popular creators, while making the content available on YouTube and Twitch .
It’s safe to say we can’t wait for the upcoming year of VALORANT!
