In the past May, we actually have many e-sports competitions, and the most popular one among League of Legends players should be the MSI held in Europe in 2018. RNG also lived up to expectations and won the MSI championship this time. According to foreign media Esports Charts, in the past May, the total number of followers of League of Legends MSI has become the first. The following is the specific data!
This data includes viewing data such as Twitch, YouTube, Panda.TV, Garena LIVE, etc., and the top five league videos with the most attention last month will be released every month. In this May ranking, the MSI event finals, which is RNG's BO5 game against KZ, had the highest number of viewers 127,551,726, more than 120 million.
Other rankings include the following -
second place: "PUBG" China Professional Invitational Tournament with more than 28 million viewers
third place: "Dota 2" with more than 13 million viewers Mars Dota 2 League (MDL) Changsha Major
fourth place: "Honor of Kings" (KPL) Spring Tournament
fifth place: "League of Legends" with more than 8 million views Demacia Cup Summer Tournament
According to the later analysis article of ESC, the MSI in 2018 is the online live broadcast with the largest number of online viewers in history, even more than the Bird's Nest League of Legends finals in S7 last year. Behind this huge data, most of them are domestic viewers.
Obviously ESC also discovered this, and specially listed the data including Chinese users and those not including Chinese users. Taking MSI as an example, the above mentioned 127 million, and the above-mentioned 900,000 after removing Chinese users. The previous huge gap also allowed everyone to see the Chinese support for e-sports.
You can see that dota2 exclusively holds two seats, "Absolute Force" and "Rainbow Six: Siege" are both on the list, but we should also note that when there are no Chinese users, this data is a bit miserable. As expected, the national server has many people and its influence is amazing.
