Record audience in LFL: 17,000 to 234,000 spectators

We should always be careful when we talk numbers… some people enjoy twisting them to create more or less unstable performances. But when taken with caution, they still provide interesting indicators. This is especially the case when we talk the audienceWhich has changed a lot between 2019, LFL’s launch date, and today.

Last week, the French League established a A new record KCB vs M8 during the LFL days in Nice. with above 234,000 viewers Among the top audiences, the first year’s record is far in the rearview mirror.

A first record that seems almost ridiculous today

We must not forget where we have come from and the path traveled by the LFL is particularly inspiring. But when we look at the first audience record set by our league, we have to smile a little… For the start of the league in 2019, O’Gaming reaches the top 17,329 viewers

During the opening day and VITB vs MSFP match. The bar was then raised several times during 2020 with Solari’s work: 22,128 viewers March 5, 2020 for Solari vs Easy Dream.

But it is specifically with the joint arrival of Carmine Corp and OTP in 2021 that the French league has entered a new dimension. For his first 3 matches in the LFL, Karmine Corp broke the record 3 times:

• Jan 19 (KC vs VITB): 137,488
• January 20 (KC vs MSFP): 140,908
• January 21 (KC vs SLY): 187,094

The establishment of “Clasico”, a bit like PSG-OM, but also made it possible to increase the audience with the peak on February 18, 2021. 194,979 viewers

On the occasion of the 2nd KC vs Solari of the year.

2 years to beat the last record

In 2022 Carmine Corp continued to be widely discussed. It must be said that recruitment of Reckless Went around the world. The Swede is a recognized figure on the scene and many watched his first outings in the French league with curiosity. The success did not live up to ADC’s expectations, but he left some fond memories for the fans, such as his Pentacle in Nice. On February 3, 2022, the league set the record 212,021 viewers. The brand remained a reference for more than 2 years, before being wiped off the shelves recently.

The new record is now held by KCB vs M8 match 234,102 viewers. Both organizations have a lot of fans and there was also a bit of a historical aspect given that the Gentle Mets had just arrived. After waiting for 2 years, we don’t know how long we have to wait to go even higher. But when you look behind it, it inevitably makes you dizzy.
