Yesterday was a special day for League of Legends lovers in Spain, when the Super League Summer Split, the most important esports competition of our country and one of the most prestigious Riot Games MOBA tournaments in Europe, started.
In fact, the viewership data supports the tournament and LVP as the summer season started with 43% more unique viewers than in 2021. It reached 238,000 unique viewers at its premiere last year and climbed 43% more to 342,422 unique viewers yesterday.
In both cases, only the LVP Twitch channel counts as one of the innovations that Super League has to offer in 2022, to which costreams need to be added. If we factor that in, that figure has grown to more than 620,000 viewers, meaning more than 320,000 hours watched, 160% more than harvested a year ago and 152% more than a year ago.
New candidates, old acquaintances and the only throne.
