Number of viewers for the Overwatch World Cup Shanghai Qualifiers

-over 70k during china vs thailand with peak around 72k
after match ended thai stream droped from nearly 11k to under 2k a lot of french already during this - over 9k

-for the most part around 60k-61k with peak of around 65k for france vs norway
increase in french viewers from around 9k to 16k (peak over 17k) interestingly nimber of korean viewers increased significantly as well still it was not enaugh to compensate for lose in thai and chinese viewers

i think todays matches are not listed yet (im 100% positive china vs thailand had more than 65k of hong kong vs norway)

chinese stream with bullshit numbers as alweys (790k peak on some chinese website and around 5k on twitch yeah seems legit)

overwatch seems to be doing preaty well as an esport considering the fact that pgl major started today, still what blizzard is doing with owl does not convince me

EDIT: sadly link got updated and now chinese "viewers" are included thus making numbers completly wrong

there's a thread about this in the sidebar already

nope, only official twitch streams
but were there really so many viewers? was it during some particular match?

i randomly saw it inbetween the 2 playoff matches so it could have been even higher during the matches

k, thx for info, ill check it next week

there will be more viewers in other group stages because matches will be at better times for western viewers. Sydney will get more viewers, and then even more in poland, and then absolutely tons when it's in the US for the final group stage
