TFA:
> Making matters worse, viewership for League of Legends’ Championship Series, one of the most mainstream leagues in esports, is at a five-year low, according to data aggregated by Esports Charts. As viewership declined, broadcast and streaming deals became less lucrative or less common for US and European esports leagues.
- uhuruity 4y agoI don't know what the viewership numbers are, but as someone who watches a lot of LoL across all the major leagues (LCS in North America, LEC in Europe, LCK in Korea, LPL in China), I wouldn't be surprised if LCS viewership falls even while others do well. The standard of play in LCS is far worse than the other three regions, and there are no redeeming features either (LEC is worse than LCK/LPL but they do a lot of fun things with their production that makes it entertaining to watch overall).
