Top Esports Teams — Q1 2024

In the list of the most popular esports teams in the first quarter of 2024, teams that reached the finals of both VCT 2024: Masters Madrid and PGL Copenhagen Major 2024 were included, along with participants from regional leagues such as LCK and MPL Indonesia. A standout mention goes to RRQ Hoshi: despite not achieving the best results in their home MLBB league, the team emerged as the absolute leader in average online viewership. Top Esports Teams by Watch Time (Q1 2024) The most watched esports team in the first quarter of 2024 was Sentinels (Valorant), with their matches accumulating over 29.5 million Hours Watched in three months. The team started the year very successfully, first winning the regional VCT 2024: Americas Kickoff, and then becoming champions of VCT 2024: Masters Madrid. It's worth noting that the event in Madrid became the most popular tournament of the game in terms of peak online viewership, surpassing even last year's world championship. The second spot was claimed by the Korean team T1 (League of Legends), which has been one of the most popular teams in the game for many years and is one of the most popular in the entire global esports scene. Thanks to LCK Spring 2024, they amassed over 23.2 million HW in the first quarter, and the Faker-led team nearly doubled this figure by mid-April of the spring season. Despite T1's loss to Gen.G in the grand final of LCK Spring 2024, their matches featured prominently among the top five most popular games of the split. Natus Vincere (Counter-Strike) secured the third position in the rankings. In the first quarter, the team's matches generated nearly 22 million HW, of which over 15 million HW were accumulated during PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, where they became champions. Following NAVI in the fourth position was their grand final opponent, FaZe Clan. Karrigan's team amassed 21.7 million HW in the first three months of the current year. Their performance in Copenhagen significantly boosted FaZe's numbers, but the team is also quite active in other international events, having already competed in BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024, IEM Katowice 2024, and IEM Chengdu 2024. Closing out the top five is Gen.G (Valorant): their performance in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 18.7 million HW. More than 72% of the Korean team's result came from VCT 2024: Masters Madrid, where Gen.G reached the grand final. Top Esports Teams by Average Concurrent Viewership (Q1 2024) RRQ Hoshi emerged as the leader in average viewership per match, becoming the most popular team in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. On average, their games in MPL Indonesia Season 13 garnered just over 900K viewers in the first quarter. It's important to note, however, that RRQ Hoshi is far from being the favorite in their regional league: they are currently at the bottom of the tournament table and are at risk of not making it to the playoffs. In the second place, we have the American team Sentinels (Valorant). Right from the start, it was one of the most popular teams in the game, closely followed by fans from North America. The team lacked significant results for global recognition, but with their victory at VCT 2024 Masters Madrid, this trend changed. By the end of the first quarter, the average viewership per match for Sentinels had increased to 662.4K people, with the team having the most broadcast hours among all the listed teams in the top. This indicates that viewers didn't just come to watch Sentinels by chance, and it's not merely due to one major victory: fans consistently follow the team's performances, regardless of the outcomes. Taking the third spot in the rankings is ONIC Esports, another Indonesian team in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang esports. In the first quarter, their matches averaged 638.7K AV. Despite ONIC Esports having a smaller audience compared to the more popular RRQ Hoshi, they excel in results: ONIC has won the last three seasons of MPL Indonesia. Thanks to their strong performance in the domestic league, ONIC consistently attracts a significant audience. The Brazilian lineup of LOUD (Valorant) gathered an average of around 582K viewers per match. LOUD stands out as one of the most media-exposed organizations in the region, and Brazilian fans are always highly active in supporting their team. At the beginning of the year, LOUD secured second place at VCT 2024: Americas Kickoff and reached the semifinals of VCT 2024: Masters Madrid. Rounding out the top five in terms of average viewership per match is Paper Rex (Valorant). Their matches in the first quarter attracted approximately 541K concurrent viewers. Paper Rex had a decent showing at VCT 2024: Pacific Kickoff, securing second place and advancing to Masters Madrid. In Spain, the Indonesian team reached the lower bracket final, where Sentinels defeated them.
