The website has compared numbers from the same type of tournaments before and after the global pandemic put an end to LAN tournaments.
The best period of time for CS:GO was in March when more than a million viewers saw the Grand Final at IEM Katowice between G2 and Natus Vincere.
Both CS:GO and League of Legends grew in average numbers of viewers in 2020, while Dota 2 lost viewership.
