LFL vs LVP SuperLiga - Which League Has More Viewers

Viewership statistics of the regional European LoL leagues are growing every year. In 2022, the audience of LFL and LVP SuperLiga was showing strong growth thanks to Kamet0 and Ibai, popular streamers that own teams Karmine Corp and KOI, respectively. In the new article, we will tell you how the viewership indicators of these leagues have changed in the summer and also compare them to one another.

Results of LFL Summer 2022 and LVP SuperLiga Summer 2022

The finalists of the spring split played in the LFL Summer 2022 grand final, with LDLC OL once again becoming the champion, and Team BDS Academy once again taking the second spot. Vitality.Bee and GameWard improved their results compared to spring and entered the top 4. Therefore, LDLC OL, Team BDS Academy, Vitality.Bee and GameWard will go to EU Masters Summer 2022 from the LFL. At the same time, Karmine Corp, which became the champion of the European Masters Spring 2022, did not even qualify for the tournament.

While the composition of the participants of LVP SuperLiga remained the same, the alignment of forces in the league has changed quite a lot. Fnatic TQ, the champion of the spring split, took only the eighth spot at LVP SuperLiga Summer 2022, while Team Heretics and Giants, who took the 7-8th spot in the spring, fought in the grand final of the tournament. KOI, G2 Arctic, and MAD Lions Madrid showed miraculous consistency, once again finishing fourth, fifth and ninth in the league, respectively.

Team Heretics became the champion of LVP SuperLiga Summer 2022, having defeated Giants in the final with a score of 3:1. BISONS ECLUB became the bronze medalist of the event and, together with its finalists, received a slot at the EU Masters Summer 2022. Note that this is the first major achievement for Team Heretics. This way the team proved that it truly deserves to participate in the LEC starting next season.

Comparison of viewership statistics of the leagues

LFL Summer 2022 turned out to be more popular than LVP SuperLiga Summer 2022 by each of the viewership indicators. However, the difference between the metrics was small.

***

As it can be seen, the size of the LFL and LVP SupeLiga audience directly depends on the broadcasts of kamet0 and Ibai, as well as on how high are the spots occupied by the teams of these streamers. Since Karmine Corp and KOI didn't make it to EU Masters Summer 2022, it's safe to say that the audience statistics for the upcoming championship will drop quite a lot.

While LFL and LVP SuperLiga are by far the most popular leagues in Europe, they are not the only ones present in the region. Summer splits have also ended in other countries, and very soon we will tell you about their viewership statistics.
