Six Charlotte Major 2022 — viewership results of the tournament
Several top tournaments in the most popular disciplines ended last weekend, including Rainbow Six Siege. The Six Charlotte Major 2022 could have gone unnoticed during CS:GO and Dota 2 events, but it still showed relatively good spectator statistics even though it was held at the same time with such popular championships. Esports Charts sums up the results of the championship and tells about the audience it has attracted.
Six Charlotte Major 2022 Recap
The R6 Major was held in Charlotte, North Carolina (USA) and became the first international event in the discipline in more than two years that fans were able to attend. The matches were hosted by the Charlotte Convention Center, which can accommodate up to 1.8K guests.
Unfortunately, not all teams were able to take part in the tournament: the Brazilian squads Team oNe, W7m and FURIA could not get American visas in time and were forced to play the tournament from the Ubisoft studio in Mexico. In addition, Elevate from Thailand completely missed the tournament, as well as teams from Russia (including Team Empire), since the organizers completely banned all the local teams from events since the start of war in Ukraine.

Squads from North America dominated throughout the tournament: only one Brazilian team, Team Liquid, made it to the top 4. In the grand final, DarkZero Esports and Astralis played a really tense match, which ended with a score of 3:2 in favor of DZ.
