IEM Rio Major 2022 became the second tournament in CS:GO history by hours watched

The last IEM Rio Major 2022 became the second tournament in the history of CS:GO by the number of hours watched. The championship in Brazil was inferior in this indicator to last year's PGL Major Stockholm 2021. Esports Charts, an analytical service that collects statistics on esports events, shared the data.

The event collected a little more than 69.2 million hours watched, which is more than two million hours less than during the PGL Major Stockholm 2021.

It should be noted that the most popular match of IEM Rio Major 2022 was the quarterfinal match between the teams FURIA and NAVI, which scored over 1,380,000 spectators at the peak. The Grand Final Outsiders - Heroic remained in second place in terms of popularity, gathering 1,148,606 viewers.
