Gaimin Gladiators were most-watched team of TI13. Average viewership dropped compared to TI12
2024-09-17 12:44:00Gaimin Gladiators gathered the most views at The International 2024. Almost 600k viewers have been watching their games on average. Liquid and Tundra were next. The data was provided by Esports Charts.
GG played 19 games at the tournaments. Team Falcons had the same number, but they did not make it to the top 5. Team Spirit, with its massive following in Eastern Europe, didn't run deep enough to get more views.
Note that this doesn't necessarily mean Gladiators had the most fans or were the most popular squad at the event. The statistics were calculated based on the average views of a match, and GG participated in the most exciting playoff games against other fan-favorite teams. They faced Tundra and Liquid twice, and even nouns had quite a hype around them, as they had taken down Spirit previously.
The International 2024 was held from September 4 to 15 in Copenhagen. The teams competed for more than $2.5 million. The tournament had 16 participants instead of 20 from last year. Its peak viewership was fourth-best in history, but the watched hours were lower than TI12's by 10 million.
