In our continued coverage of Worlds 2020, here at esportsguide we’re diving into some post-event coverage. Accordingly, viewership is what makes an event such as Worlds 2020 so electric. Despite the online environment, Riot Games still managed to knock it out of the park with some superb numbers!
Before we can continue, it must be stated that all the data is accredited to Escharts.
Without further delay, here’s how the numbers look:
Many had doubts that due to the online environment, viewership would suffer, but it simply didn’t. A peak viewers of almost 4 million is simply amazing, packing a higher number of average viewers compared to last year.
Naturally, the peak of the viewership took place in the grand final between Suning and Damwon Gaming. Here, the peak concurrent viewers of 3,992,252 soared.
Otherwise, the statistics are quite similar.
Riot Games, at any point of the way, could have cancelled the event. It would have been just like this year’s The International and a massive disappointment. Successfully hosting it is a success both for the scene and the industry.
Without a doubt, Worlds 2020 is the largest esports event of the year and has shown the resilience of the esports industry.
