MSI 2022 had event’s highest peak viewership count through last 5 years, but saw significant drop in average viewers compared to 2021

The League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational has always been one of the most-viewed events of the year since it features the best teams in the world battling for glory and an international trophy. This year, MSI continued to impress with the highest peak viewership count through the last five years of the event’s history, all thanks to Korea’s T1 and China’s Royal Never Give Up.

Last month, MSI 2022 hit a peak viewership count of just over 2.1 million people during the final series between T1 and RNG, according to Esports Charts. The rivalry between the LPL and LCK clearly brought in fans from around the world to watch. T1 are one of the most hyped teams in League history and they also have the greatest player of all time on the roster in Faker.
