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 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.
