Highlight extract from the analysis report
Below are selected excerpts from slides featured in the 2023 Domestic esports Tournament Broadcast Viewing Analysis Report.
The “Concurrent Viewership Ranking” for esports tournament broadcasts saw tournaments for “VALORANT” taking the top positions. In particular, events featuring the performance of the Japanese representative team “ZETA DIVISION” at international competitions, and the finals with the participation of “FNATIC”, a highly popular team in Japan, were particularly highlighted. These events drew attention beyond the game genre fanbase and gathered support from a wide range of fans.
The proportion of total viewing time represented by mirror broadcasts has grown to 16%, with the total viewing time from mirror broadcasts alone experiencing a significant increase, jumping nearly four times from around 3.89 million hours in the previous year to approximately 15.28 million hours. This growth highlights the solidifying culture of “watch parties,” where fans enjoy esports tournaments alongside streamers, a trend that's now spreading across different gaming genres.
