    Wow what a big jump in viewership the past few years.

    I wonder why this series was so popular outside China? I guess with it being T1 and a non-Korean team, it was more exciting than T1 vs DRX?

    Although the “Deft’s last dance” storyline was much more exciting than WBG.

    Wild how many views it was for essentially a stomp. That’s just the Faker and T1 effect I guess.

     

    Also interesting that every year it’s increased in popularity by a significant amount despite a lot of the regional leagues suffering from viewership issues.
