Six Invitational 2023 failed in terms of views, showing the ninth result in the history of the discipline

The past Six Invitational 2023 showed meager viewing results, becoming only the ninth tournament in the history of the discipline in terms of peak viewers. The championship, which ended on the weekend, attracted just over 230,000 spectators, becoming the penultimate in popularity in the Six Invitational series.

The most popular match of the championship was the grand final between G2 Esports and w7m esports. Recall that the European team beat the Brazilians with a score of 3:1, thanks to which they became the winner of the Six Invitational 2023 and earned a prize of $1,000,000.

Probably, such low figures are due to the fall in the popularity of the discipline amid uncertainty about the future of the scene. In addition, broadcasting mainly at night for Europe and the CIS had a significant impact on the viewing of the tournament.

1. G2 Esports vs w7m esports (grand final) - 231,639 spectators
