VALORANT esports viewership gets dominated by Japan’s Challengers League
VALORANT has taken off worldwide, but one region in particular has absolutely fallen in love with Riot’s tactical shooter and its esports scene. Japan became one of the top regions in terms of VALORANT esports viewership last year, and that’s definitely continuing into this year.
The first split of the VALORANT Challengers League in Japan is dominating all other regional competitions in viewership, according to data gathered from Esports Charts. At time of writing, the event has amassed over 5.5 million hours watched, with a peak of 137,160 viewers during the opening match between Crazy Raccoon and Crest Gaming Zst.
