VGC is a little better, but the viewership of the end of the season last August was pretty abysmal.
If a lot of people are participating, great. But consider attachment. 12 million players a year is not reflected on how much people care about the results of the competitive scene. Does the 1 million average every month have anything to do with people making multiple accounts? Since that’s not uncommom?
