☀ The first month of summer was filled with competitions and continued the trend of previous months, with only two tournaments attracting more than a million concurrent viewers at the peak. Let's take a look at esports in June:
🔹 #MPLIndonesia Season 13 was the most popular event of the month, peaking at 2.22M concurrent viewers.
🔹 #LCK Summer attracted over 1M viewers in the first week of the season.
🔹 The next top three were #VCTMasters Shanghai (914k), #IEM Dallas (823k), and #ArenaOfValor Premier League (713k).
The highest peaks of the top two tournaments showed a slight decline compared to the previous two months. However, it is noteworthy that the tournaments in positions 3 to 5 demonstrated significantly higher figures. MOBA games continue to dominate the top, but in June, two FPS titles joined this rank.
🏆 There will be several tournaments in July, especially the #EsportsWorldCup competitions in Riyadh. Several games could set new viewership records this month. Which tournaments have the most potential?

The future sports fan is todays gamer.
The challenge we all have in sports is how do we reach and engage younger audiences and create lifelong fans of our sports.
This may not mean that they are an active participant but a fan of the sport who knows the athletes and teams. Electronic Arts (EA) Sports and FIFA had a great partnership that brought football into every home. Wimbledon and Roblox are exploring the same with WimbleWorld.
The potential International Olympic Committee – IOC Esports Games will showcase some of the best games and virtual sports to a younger audience. Allowing sports to reach demographics that they might not be able to reach with their current models.
An exciting future for sport is around the corner.

When we discussed esports in Dubai, I had to mention the Esports World Cup 2024. Here's why:
- The biggest prize pool ever, $60 million
- Unprecedented scale 19 games
- Desktop and mobile games
- Various genres
I was definitely not the only one surprised when the first announcements were made public. It was confirmed that there would be a mix of mobile and desktop games, and they even managed to get publishers on board who rarely agreed to participate in any event together.
The Esports World Cup is the type of event that can create global ripples.
It's an exciting time to be part of this industry.
P.S. Which EWC announcement has got you the most excited?
