100 Thieves might have pulled off the ultimate heist in the 2021 LCS Summer Split finals, but the league itself hasn’t been able to yoink more viewers through this new year. This past season, the LCS had its lowest peak viewership count over the last five years, according to Esports Charts.
The esports viewership statistic site says that the LCS reached a peak of 364,000 viewers this past summer, including co-streams. This peak came during the gnd finals matchup between 100 Thieves and Team Liquid yesterday, where Closer, FBI, and the rest of the squad took down their experienced opponents. Gnted, this was also a ther one-sided sweep, which could have affected viewership numbers since many other playoff matchups had more than three games.
