The Overwatch league has often been in the news for its insane viewership numbers. While not at the same level compared to the generic Counter-Strike, OWL’s viewership numbers definitely increased manifold. The Overwatch league‘s viewership numbers were definitely a big surprise for everyone.
The League constantly managed 100k viewers and the grand finals actually managed 861,000 viewers, a mind-boggling number partly possible due to the Chinese viewership numbers.
