As the regular season of the LPL Spring Season enters the second week, the hottest topic in the past period of time is not a game played during the period, but the discussion about the sudden popularity of the LPL is very loud. As one of the most popular e-sports events in China in the past few years, LPL can be said to be a benchmark for domestic end-game e-sports, and League of Legends' large-scale events have always been very popular. However, with the opening of the new S14 season, through the live broadcast platform and the amount of post-game video and other data, some viewers found that the popularity of this year's LPL spring game is not ideal.
On domestic live broadcast platforms with LPL live broadcast copyrights such as Douyu, Huya and Station B, the popularity of the live broadcast room of the game has declined. And the downturn in LPL popularity this season can be seen from the decline in the number of game replays. In the opening game, BLG and TES, two popular strong teams, played against each other, and the amount of ** has not exceeded one million in the past week, which is unimaginable in the LPL in the past few years.
However, what is somewhat surprising is that although it seems that the popularity of LPL in China has inevitably declined, it has bucked the trend in overseas ratings**. According to the peak ratings of foreign data **esports charts, the popularity of this year's spring LPL competition can be said to be quite good. In the first week, both games peaked at more than 9w in overseas ratings, which was already more than any regular season game in last spring.
And the overseas ratings can still be improved in such a situation, which is obviously related to the vigorous promotion of IWD and Ou Gang, the two overseas LOL head anchors. In such a few popular anchors who like the style of the LPL competition area, they commented on the second road, which drove overseas audiences to watch the LPL game.
