The Viewership Increase by 96% Between the Stages
Esports Charts indicates that the LoL Worlds 2024 Swiss Stage has received a record high in the number of online peak viewers, which is 96% higher than the Play-In Stage. To put it into perspective, the same stages experienced a strong 50% increase last year, but 2024 is crushing it.

Some of the standout teams have been instrumental in this massive spike in viewership and have set records in the process. Some of the teams that have performed and entertained millions of fans include Top Esports (TES), PaiN Gaming (PNG), Hanwha Life Esports (HLE), Team Liquid (TL), and GAM Esports (GAM).
Here are some of the top moments from the Swiss Stage:
