VCT Masters Shanghai 2024 Viewership. The just-concluded VCT Masters: Shanghai I found it interesting to provide new information about VALORANT’s viewership patterns to round off the second international LAN event in its competitive season. However, it must also be noted that as compared to previous occasions, the tournament was a bit low but it did not lack impressive features and wonderful moments for the fans of the World globally.

VCT Masters Shanghai had an approximate peak of 914,000 viewers and an average of 340,000 viewers during the event, data from Esports Charts. No less than these numbers signify a lowering from over 1. 6 million of the peak viewers observed at the VCT Masters Madrid back in the year, there are still some positives to glean. For instance, Shanghai reached its highest audience level, just marginally more than Masters Tokyo 2023 that recorded a peak of 830,000 audience with an average of about 338,000.

VCT Masters Shanghai 2024 Viewership

However, the factor of decreased viewership cannot be ruled out or dismissed completely. The average audience for Shanghai was roughly one-fourth that of Madrid which was 670000 audiences. This would have been so because some of the best teams like Sentinels, Loud, Karmine Corp, Gentle Mates among others did not qualify to participate in the event.

However, VCT Masters Shanghai is still among the biggest events in VALORANT esports history. Previously, it is the eighth most-watched VALORANT competition to date and lower than Masters Reykjavik, VCT Champions 2021, 2022, and 2023 along with Masters Madridᅳthe most-watched VALORANT competition ever.

Another major asset VCT Masters Shanghai had was the gameplay and visual enjoyment provided by Team Heretics and Gen. G. Team Heretics had the highest viewership of the event and gained 9. 6 million hours watched. Also, the champions, Gen. G, received a massive views, around 8. 8 million hours watched. The last match between the two teams and the pinnacle of the championship deservedly received 914,131 viewers.

We should note, however, that the Chinese audience was not included in the statistics provided by Esports Charts. This part of the audience was not followed thus may have influenced a lot of viewers more so the event was held in China which could mean a higher interaction.

Next up is the conclusion of this phase, VCT Champions, in August. This is the penultimate offline tournament and it is Stage 2 where teams will move onto the last stop before VCT Champions. More than in prior seasons, the pressure is on – and fans are already here waiting for what their favorite teams are going to do.

As a result, while VCT Masters Shanghai was down on viewership from previous events, it maintained interesting streams and stable viewers. Every tourney held in VALORANT, every story takes CSP to further stand of the progression on the esports scene in a future of VALORANT as the viewer will be able to follow more intense situations.
