In May 2024, G2 Esports achieved a groundbreaking milestone in its monthly watch time, amassing over 30.7 million Hours Watched (excluding Battle Royale games). This marks a remarkable 15.6% increase from their previous record.
A significant portion of these viewership hours came from two major tournaments. G2 Esports delivered a strong performance at the Mid-Season Invitational 2024, finishing in fourth place, which accounted for nearly half of the club’s total watch time for the month. Additionally, G2’s Valorant team made a notable contribution by reaching the finals of the VCT 2024: Americas League – Stage 1. Other contributions to their impressive viewership figures came from participating in VCT 2024: Masters Shanghai, PGL Wallachia Season 1, and IEM Dallas 2024.
G2 Esports’ viewership data
G2 Esports’ viewership data reveals that the club’s peak months for watch time are May, October, and November, which align with the MSI and Worlds international League of Legends tournaments. This consistency underscores the pivotal role League of Legends plays for the club, with no other title or tournament generating comparable viewership hours.
Beyond these three months, G2 also saw strong viewer statistics in February 2022. When they reached the finals of IEM Katowice 2022, accumulating 18.3 million Hours Watched, making it the sixth-highest month in their history. Counter-Strike has also significantly contributed to the club’s viewership, notably boosting their numbers during the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 and the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. Despite Counter-Strike’s impact, League of Legends remains the primary game for G2.
