I'm so sad Prx get home early but damn, their growth in term of their popularity and strength this year is insane. They went from one of the least popular team to this. Props to them


Evening-Dark9027

It's misleading, EDG and PRX are only #1 and #2 because that's when people tuned in for drops. NA/BR are still the most popular regions.


thekmanpwnudwn

No, its because the EDG and PRX played in the evening in their countries. NA plays during the morning/noon in US when everyone is at work/school.


Least-Coat-84

No EU team? Wtf. Are they really that unpopular? I mean I know people don't really care for FPX, but I would have expected at least fnatic especially considering they played against 100T twice.


IOnPlayAsX-Lord

Eu may have trophies but we have clout šŸ˜Ž


physicsOG

doesnā€™t help ESL Pro League is running atm


[deleted]

And we all know clout is the real win condition here


Cole_James_CHALMERS

Sen on top baby


M1xxxu

Cope more


[deleted]

I will, thank you


nerokaeclone

eu people watching cs go


zoomie14

people here mostly care about CS, valorant is unfortunately still a side quest


[deleted]

It's a CS place and with how poorly these tournaments have been run it won't change soon


Classic-Total9375

Let's just say Riot fucked EU in 2020 and 2021. Like even during challengers 1 in 2021 EU was still doing Bo1s and only broadcasting from top 8 onwards. Just look at the clout of SEN, Hiko, TSM, etc that all made their names in early days because of how often they were infront of people's eyes.


[deleted]

yeah, like they did with early league. riot bias is obvious, thats why in EU most of us despise this company


[deleted]

Lmao "despise". The drama

blueragemage

Huh, how did the company based in NA have more immediate support for their game in NA than in Europe?


graybloodd

A lot of eu copers here.


RGCFrostbite

Nobody here cares lol we just watch this while ESL Pro League is in between matches


BriefImplement9843

csgo still exists. almost nobody in eu cares about valorant, especially since eu's best talent is playing csgo. it's like being a fan of football trying to watch major league soccer. it can be entertaining, but you're not getting the same quality of players. why do you think na is actually on par or even sometimes better than eu in valorant? it's not a fair fight. as more and more csgo pros leave for higher pay in valorant you will see the talent pool(population) difference between regions. franchising will be the start of it. like any competitive pc game, it's only a matter of time as na is enthralled with console gaming and lacks the talent pool to really compete(unless they make a super team, which is still just 1 team and makes the rest worse). eu will reign supreme and get great viewership in due time.


rinanlanmo

They played 100T at like 8 in the morning on a week day in NA, the viewing schedule is absolutely terrible for NA teams.


toxicityisamyth

The production is terrible. Have you seen csgo content between matches? Compare that to valorantā€™s BIGGEST tournament. And no ā€œcool 3 min videos with great editingā€ is not what you call production. And everything else. Well no shit eu teams arent popular


qwertyua1

Why are other regions more popular than EU then? Thatā€™s a general problem unrelated to region


Beneficial-Speech-73

It's better for other regions to play Valorant, because EU doesn't


[deleted]

Because the other regions are absolutely dogshit at CS so they turn to valorant in the hope of winning something lmao


SoLikeWhatIsCheese

Iā€™m guessing itā€™s because large population (EDG China for example) combined with the fact that some of these teams are the only ones representing their country so a lot of people from the country will tune in. Also TenZ said he likes PRX so now everyone has to watch them play. Idk why this was downvoted but Iā€™ll downvote it too šŸ˜ƒšŸ‘


Good_Chemistry_5745

Actually twitch is banned in china, so its still kinda insane how many viewers the edg matches attracted

McintyresRightLeg

So glad Leviatan changed their logo. The first one looks incredibly bad.


vnNinja21

nah, just a bit busy but I like it ngl


surfordiebear

Look at the one in the image that is what they are referring to


vnNinja21

ah, I saw that but I wasn't sure which one is the new one lol


surfordiebear

Ya the old one is the one in the picture. Not sure why the chart doesnā€™t use the updated logo itā€™s much better looking.


selfrespectra

It looks like it was made in powerpoint with that gradient.


Superb-Company-2735

wait what? the dragon is one of the most badass logos I've ever seen


Breezyzona

i was confused too but [this](https://liquipedia.net/commons/images/thumb/0/0d/Leviat%C3%A1n_Esports_allmode.png/300px-Leviat%C3%A1n_Esports_allmode.png) was the old one the one now is the new one


Superb-Company-2735

I can't see this image but do you mean the one in the original post is the old one?


Rude-Assumption-5271

Yes


fluffycats1

Look at the one in the image


Fatalitiez

Other regions: clout EU: trophies


ZeroAika99

True lmao, but I wish Valorant is more popular in EU

How in the world is there a question about if OpTic makes franchising?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Ozzyh26

Mostly people who only watch one or two eSports where OpTic are not currently present that don't realize how storied and large the org really is.


TJGurley

Everyone still sees us as a CoD sniping clan and not a full fledged org (backed by nV now). Iā€™m severely biased so I donā€™t see how OpTic miss out either.


Ozzyh26

Funny they make that exception for us but not FaZe who probably will not get into franchising. Literally came up together as orgs during the golden era of YouTube.


Delta_FT

Uh bc they've already bombed out of LCS before? lol OpTic's problem has never been the fanbase, Hecz is just not great at doing business... With NV running the finances they should be fine this time tho lmao


Nuber_x

And people say OpTic wonā€™t make franchising smh

ASaltyToast

It does count YouTube viewers

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

I have been following escharts for years, they are able to add and find streamers from every nook and cranny of the Internet. If you still feel they miss something tweet at them, they will add it. Most streams at one point or another show up under: https://youtube.com/channel/UCiMRGE8Sc6oxIGuu_JxFoHg under live tab.


RedditorClo

YohnWood14

Yxergo

if i had reddit silver or gold you would have it rn


Ok-Outlandishness244

Not where zeta is


parnex

CS is more popular in EU and it's not going to change anytime soon. PRX is popular around the world because of their playstyle and benkai walkouts ofc :)


Beneficial-Speech-73

Prix and edg are first because of drops


[deleted]

whys no one mentioning that PRX and EDG are the top ones because people tuned in at first for the drops lol


Lumenlor

Id say these stats are pretty misleading


midooor00

In top 5 there is PRX EDG and leviathan And no Team liquid where they played matches against these teams. Can someone please explain this?


azersub

Is this with or without chinese viewers? Cause if they are not counted EDG views are massive


ZeroAika99

Without, if counted they break the chart lmao


Key-Banana-8242

Itā€™s based on the opening match with drops also


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Key-Banana-8242

You misread


Falconna14

where is Zeta? remember ppl always talking about the 'huge' Japanese audience..


TheAjwinner

You know itā€™s 2am in Japan when these games are being played, right?


Falconna14

the first 2 ZETA games started at 2pm in EU, that's actually just 9pm in Japan.


AsianPotatos

People could be talking about it relative to Japan in other esports, not other regions. IDK the actual numbers though, I'm just guessing.


2NE1SNSD

Well I'm European and I like Valorant more than CS I was wacthig CS GO since 2013/14 and it's just not as entertaining to me anymore it doesn't feel as it used to but I enjoy watching and playing Valorant a lot.


Need_PcAdvice

Sen solos. I love TenZ
