A study published by analytics agency Esports Charts shows that Blacklist International and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang were two of the most highly watched entities of 2021. Blacklist ranked seventh in most popular teams, with 53.29 million hours watched and 3.11 million peak viewers.
The overall viewership numbers for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang teams have contributed to the game’s overall growth. Moonton’s flagship mobile MOBA game made leaps and strides as they earned third place with 387.29 million hours watched and 3.19 million peak viewers, a record that was attained during the M3 World Championship, surpassing M2’s 3.08 million.
Given these numbers, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang might further grow as a worldwide phenomenon but according to Team Secret CEO, John Yao, the viewerships have been centered on Indonesia and the Philippines.
