LEC may have already found key to success after stunning viewership numbers in opening week

The League of Legends Summer Split has just begun in the EMEA region, with ten competing teams kicking off the tournament on June 17. As the Mid Season Invitation put a break on regional tournaments around the world, LEC fans waited almost two months for the competition to resume. They were eager for some action and viewership figures prove it. 

On its first three days, the LEC Summer Split reached 343,576 peak viewers combined across all live streams, according to Esports Chart, slightly lower than Spring which had seen 5,000 more people watching in its peak match. Just taking into consideration the viewership during the first week of this season’s splits, the numbers have been declining since the beginning of the year, with the Winter Split still holding the highest maximum number of viewers for its first week at 467,000 viewers.
