T1 vs. JD Gaming etched into history after breaking sky-high MSI record

There haven’t been many five-game series at the 2023 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational. But after one of the most exciting sets in London today, China’s JD Gaming and Korea’s T1 have written themselves into the history books with the most-viewed series in the tournament’s history.

After hitting a peak viewership of just under 2.3 million viewers worldwide, the two teams overtook the previous MSI record of 2.19 million viewers set by T1 and China’s Royal Never Give Up during last year’s finals, according to esports viewership aggregate Esports Charts.
