Halo World Championship 2022 posts dismal viewership numbers

The Halo World Championship that served as a conclusion to the 2022 season also served as the fitting end to a dominant year for the OpTic Gaming roster. The four-man squad of aPG, Lucid, TriPPPeY, and FormaL all claimed their first world title in Halo this past weekend after decimating the competition since the start of the summer.

But as great as OpTic’s accomplishment was, the future of Halo esports is a bit concerning if you look at the viewership numbers for this past World Championship. The final tournament of the 2022 season didn’t even crack 2 million total hours watched and fell behind both HCS Anaheim and the HCS Kickoff Major in that category, according to Esports Charts.
