BLAST Premier Fall Series: Is Group Stage better than the finals?
BLAST Premier Spring has shown unbelievable results by stats, so we expected a lot from Fall Group Stage. Could the start of Fall Series overtake BLAST Premier Spring Finals? Let's find out.
BLAST Premier Fall Series Groups has ended on October 4. It united 12 teams from different regions and attracted a lot of fans, which ensured the mind-blowing statistical marks.
Brazilian streamer Gaules hosted the most popular broadcast of the tournament and gathered 303K Peak Viewers. Such a mark was achieved at the match of MIBR vs. Astralis.
We should note that Gaules has already caused a furor in terms of viewers during BLAST Premier Spring: 390K fans watched his broadcast of the American finals. We haven't detected the new record for this streamer, but this is only a Group Stage, so we shouldn't draw conclusions in advance.
Astralis and Mibr got the title of the most famous match by collecting 512K Peak Viewers. The main thing in this meeting is that Made in Brazil updated their roster at the end of October, and, in fact, without having enough time to play together, they even managed to win one map against the top-3 CS:GO team, according to HLTV.
Moreover, 363K fans watched the matches of Made in Brazil on average, and this number is 15% better than at the finals of BLAST Premier Spring.
The official BLASTPremier broadcast became the second by Peak Viewers - 137K. English-speaking fans contributed 42% to the overall Hours Watched number.
Russian-speaking CS:GO lovers were the third by contribution to Hours Watched - 10%. The official Russian studio WinstrikeTV gathered 89K Peak Viewers during the match between Na'Vi and OG.
But the tournament had its negative aspect. In the last days of the group stage, the players had problems with the Internet or devices, so the matches lasted longer than usual, with pauses of 5-10 minutes.
Due to interruptions, the match between MIBR and Furia could not become #1 and gathered only 361K viewers at the peak, but at the same time, this is the best meeting in the history of these two teams in terms of Peak Viewers.
Let's compare the results of the Spring and Fall Group Stages. The Hours Watched increased by 48,8%, and Peak Viewers by 31%.
But this is not the end. We've analyzed the Fall Group Stage and Spring Finals results, and we can say that the Group Stage has set a new BLAST Premier Series record. The event collected 8K Peak Viewers more than BLAST Premier Spring American Finals.
This isn't the ultimate Peak mark because Showdown and Fall Final stages are still ahead.
