With 5.1 million viewers peaking, the final match of the LoL Worlds 2022 was the most-watched game in the history of League of Legends – it was even the second-largest eSports match of all time. Alone, 2.8 million people watched on Twitch. And this does not even include Chinese viewers.
How many people watched the match? 5.1 million viewers peaked at the final of the LoL Worlds. This is reported by the site Esport-Charts. The final took place on the night from Saturday to Sunday, November 6th, between the South Korean teams T1 and DRX.
At the peak, 2.8 million people watched the match on Twitch and 1.7 million on YouTube Gaming. Other platforms included AfeecaTV, Trovo, and Facebook.
The most viewers watched the thrilling duel over 5 games in English (1.6 million), followed by Korean (1.2 million) and Spanish (855,000). Especially in Spain, the hype around LoL is fueled by Twitch streamers: The huge streamer Ibai had a peak of 482,000 viewers, more than the official broadcast by Riot Games.
The Chinese viewer numbers, which were also likely massive, are not recorded.
Even at the opening show with the performance of Lil Nas X, there were 3.2 million viewers.
Even bigger than LoL so far in eSports was the “Free Fire World Series 2021” event with 5.4 million viewers, as Venturebeat knows. Free Fire is enormously popular in parts of Asia.
Huge Final Sees Legend Faker Fail Again
Why was the match such a draw? It was mainly due to the team T1 that so many LoL fans worldwide tuned in. The team around the legendary midlaner Faker is extremely popular – this year, T1 made it to the final after a long dry spell, and it seemed like Faker would claim title number 4.
The 4th world champion title the now 26-year-old has been chasing since 2017, when he, highly favored with T1, failed against Samsung Galaxy and their midlaner Ambition.
But T1 lost to his former school friend Deft and his team DRX, which had played their way from the play-ins to the final as total underdogs.
Pyosik Was Considered a Bad Jungler in the LCK – Now He is World Champion
This is how players have become world champions that hardly anyone expected, such as the jungler Pyosik. Many considered him one of the weaker junglers in the LCK – but he is somehow a good guy that everyone likes.
Pyosik (22) was last known primarily for dancing quite ridiculously:
Midlaner Zeka and top-laner Kingen, on the other hand, became stars overnight. The 22-year-old Kingen even won the MVP award in the final.
After the defeat, the players from T1 were inconsolable, especially support player Keria appeared to be a mess after the match. The streamer Tyler1 found it too much. He did not want the cameras to stay on the losers for too long.
Extremely Strong Match – but at Impossible Time for Germans
Was it a good match? Yes, it was an awesome match, albeit at an impossible time for Germans. For us, the final started at 1 AM and went on until 6:30 AM early on Monday morning.
The German LoL streamer Tolkin, who commented on the game on Twitter, apparently found himself close to exit multiple times that night. When “his favorite team” T1 lost, he tweeted at 6:25 AM:
The Eternal Unlucky Win Against the Golden Boys of LoL
The exciting part was that T1 was something like “everyone’s favorite team.” They are the golden boys: Faker has been revered for years as if he could walk on water. Keria (19) is considered a prodigy, a “monster and genius.” Many would have wished the two and their teammates victory.
In contrast, hardly anyone had anything for DRX. The team had broken apart in 2020, had to pull themselves together, and was basically the team from Korea that no one really paid attention to besides Gen G, T1, and Damwon KIA. They even had to fight their way through the play-ins.
Ultimately, it seems that the key to the world championship was support player Beryl, who was brought from DAMWON Gaming to DRX before 2022 and was paired with veteran Deft on the bot lane: The 25-year-old support Beryl was a world champion in 2020 and runner-up in 2021, but the glory fell on his teammates ShowMaker and Canyon in both years.
