The Overwatch League managed to maintain an average viewership number of around 100,000 viewers throughout the four stages of OWL. The League’s viewership numbers for the Grand Finals at Barclay’s center in New York was 861,000. It is definitely one of the best events in esports in North America and was a runaway success. OWL caster and talent, Ben is, however, impressed with the fact tht OWL was able to maintain its viewership numbers upto 100,000 viewers on a consistent basis.
I think the most impressive aspect of OWL that we achieved was maintaining an average viewer count of 100k across 4 days a week.
Before people start @'ing at me, yes this includes the drop off towards Stage3/4.
Really promising for the future of the Overwatch League.
