As the LPL spring regular season schedule enters the second week, the most popular topic in the past period is not a certain game during the period, but the discussion about the sudden plunge in the popularity of the LPL is rampant. As one of the most popular e-sports events in China in the past few years, lpl can be said to be the benchmark for domestic end-game e-sports projects, and various large-scale events in League of Legends have always been very popular. However, as the new season of S14 kicked off, some viewers found that the popularity of this year's LPL Spring Split was not ideal through the live broadcast platform and the number of plays of post-game videos.
On domestic live broadcast platforms with lpl live broadcast copyrights such as Douyu, Huya and Bilibili, the popularity of the game live broadcast rooms has declined. The sluggish popularity of LPL this season can be seen from the decline in the number of game replays. In the opening game, two popular teams, BLG and TES, played against each other. The number of views has not exceeded one million in the past week. This was unimaginable in the LPL in the past few years.
However, what is somewhat surprising is that although the popularity of lpl in China seems to have inevitably declined, overseas ratings have bucked the trend and increased. According to the peak ratings calculated by esports charts, a foreign data website, the popularity of LPL overseas games this year can be said to be quite good. The peak overseas ratings of the two games in the first week exceeded 90,000, which has exceeded any regular season game in last spring split.
However, the fact that overseas ratings have improved under the current situation is obviously related to the vigorous promotion of the two leading overseas lol anchors, iwd and Ou Gang. With several popular anchors who like the style of the LPL division providing commentary on the second line, overseas audiences are attracted to watch LPL games.
