2024 The lpl spring games are all over. In the finals, blg defeated TES with a score of 3-1 to win the first championship in team history. However, although TES regretfully failed to win the cup, fortunately they have also locked in the MSI quota and will represent the LPL with BLG in this year's MSI Mid-Season Championship in Chengdu. After entering the offseason, some netizens also counted the video playback volume of the entire spring regular season.
In fact, there has been a lot of discussion around the popularity of the game in this year's LPL Spring Split. Judging from data such as live broadcast popularity and video playback volume, LPL has declined significantly compared to last year. However, this time some netizens counted the broadcast volume of each LPL team and compared it with the same period of last year's Spring Split. The decline in the data is more intuitive.
According to the video playback statistics of the official account of Station B, the total playback volume of this year's LPL Spring Split has dropped by a full 43% compared to last year. Except for BLG, the playback volume of the other sixteen teams has declined to varying degrees. However, the team with the largest decline is wbg. In the 2023 spring regular season, wbg's video playback volume was as high as 20 million, but this year this number has dropped to 636w, a full 68% decrease.
Some netizens analyzed that the decline in wbg’s playback volume was mainly due to the departure of popular players. Last year, the team had the star player the shy, which brought attention, but this year, on the one hand, the team’s performance was not satisfactory, and on the other hand, the shy also chose to take a break. Choosing to renew the contract will inevitably cause wbg's popularity to decline. When looking at the entire LPL, the absence of popular players like The Shy and Uzi also affects the popularity of the league.
