You know, I gotta wonder if LoL inflates their viewership numbers to stay on top. They're keeping pace with the ESL viewership but there's no major events going on. This always seems to happen. If there's nothing major going on in other channels they hover around 90-100k. But then if someone busts up to 100K+ they start gaining viewers.

The lol client used to automatically open lol streams on Twitch to inflate the viewer count a year ago, I don't know if it does anymore

It makes sense that LoL would be on top. LoL has more Active players than any other game by far. These numbers are a year old, but 67 million players log in to LoL on a monthly basis(27 million on a daily basis) with 7.5 million players at one time as the peak.

Compared to csgo, where the peak players at one time is just above 400k.

Those are Riot reported numbers I believe, I'm not sure there's any independent source.

Yesterday NA LCS was on so it wasn't just random streamers, though.

LoL crushes every other game by far, the only other game that comes close lately is DotA 2. Oddly WoW is still more popular than most modern games, probably gets more daily users than CSGO still.

FWIW Dota2 had its peak users ever yesterday due to an event, at slightly over 1M. If you believe Riot's numbers that is not really coming close.

Edit: Actually that might not include Perfect World/China in which case it does make sense. Unique per month is about 11M and about 3x more LoL players matches reddit/twitch numbers better.

CS:GO started growing rapidly though.

CS:GO is pretty interesting to watch, but as a casual viewer who honestly doesn't know much about the high level game, it's much harder to watch than Dota or LoL. The perspective is part of it.

I'm the other way around, I find any cs:go game more interesting than League of legends game. The whole concept of LCS is just horrible to me.

You think? CS is way more viewer friendly imo. Without any experience, DotA makes little sense. Shooting mans is universal.

The perspective changes constantly so unless you know the map its probably half impossible to know what the gently caress is going on. Overhead perspective is a lot more straightforward.

I have played a lot of DoTA and if I ever see a LoL match being played I am completely lost beyond "the team is trying to kill the other teams base". DoTA and LoL viewership is entirely dependent on people knowing the heroes and the gameplay and are in the category of "games that are great to watch provided you're actively playing them at the time".

I don't watch that I'm just saying that given the nature of isometric perspective its going to be a lot easier to follow the progress if you never booted the game up.

I have to disagree. He was given a place on a trial basis, and in my opinion he has failed to be the difference maker NiP needs against teams like NV and fnatic. People have the memory of goldfish and just assumed he was their official 5th player, but that was never the case. It's a sound decision to keep their options open. I'm not convinced Delpan will be that person, but who knows. Giving a young player a chance to play in probably the biggest CS team is pretty praiseworthy. If they could only have taken him on a permanent contract I seriously doubt they would have taken such an unknown quantity.
