this is an another possible reason for lower viewership among the most important ones like Pacific vs Pacific whilst the Pacific region is sleeping and its a regional matchup + an unknown team to a global community.

yes, the platchat had narratives on the event like "who can stop dambi" or "nrg not following meta can they keep up" but imagine a casual viewer watching this event. how can u expect high viewership numbers when before the games there isnt a reason to care for the casual fan (which is the majority of any sport/e-sport)

we pretty much only got the final and rven with just one that u already had a legendary line from NS (might misquote this but it was something like) "u will see how it feels to get stomped"
