BLAST Premier tournaments in 2022

BLAST Spring tournaments attracted more viewers than Fall tournaments. BLAST Premier Spring 2022 became the top tournament by total Hours Watched, but it was helped a lot by its duration. BLAST Premier Spring 2022 Finals had the highest Average Viewers and Peak Viewers totals — 282.4K AV and 762K PV.

As a reminder, last year's BLAST Premier World Final 2021 accumulated more than 15.6 million Hours Watched. The Average Viewers number of the broadcast was 306K, with the Peak Viewers number of 727.3K viewers. We will see if the 2022 Finals will be able to surpass these numbers.
