It does, however, outperform that event in a few key ways. Among them is a higher average viewership over a longer event, with nearly 290,000 viewers across platforms throughout the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028\u2028In terms of total hours watched, the Championship surpassed the Split 2 Playoffs due to higher average viewership and more broadcasting hours. At the conclusion of the tournament, the Split 2 Playoffs had 9.6 million hours watched, while the Championship had 11.2 million hours watched.\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n<p>Another significant milestone for <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/apex-legends\/\" title=\"Apex Legends betting\">Apex Legends esports<\/a> occurred on Twitch. According to TwitchTracker, the PlayApex channel that hosted the official broadcast surpassed the 200,000 viewers mark for the first time, peaking at more than 213,000 viewers.\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n<p>In most online tournaments, the ALGS allows individual players to stream their own games with a delay, but Apex esports is a little different. Traditionally, Apex events&#8217; audiences have been dispersed across many pro players&#8217; channels, the main broadcast, and content creators hosting their own watch parties. With many of those individual streams no longer available due to players being on LAN, the main broadcast saw its highest viewership numbers ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028\u2028The official B Stream of the event on Jack &#8220;NiceWigg&#8221; Martin&#8217;s channel, where the 100 Thieves streamer cast the tournament on location alongside Charlotte Phoenix pro Athanasios &#8220;MrGreekGod&#8221; Alestas, supplemented the main broadcast. The stream attracted more than 10,000 viewers on a regular basis. There were also more successful watch parties. During the finals, Timmy &#8220;iiTzTimmy&#8221; An had over 50,000 viewers on his channel, while Dalton &#8220;Daltoosh&#8221; Hester had over 25,000 viewers at his watch party on the final day of the event.<\/p>\n<div class=\" embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you all for watching the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ALGS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ALGS<\/a> Year 2 Championship!\ud83c\udfc6<\/p>\n<p>Year 3 is coming soon.<br \/>Stay tuned. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4NAVVBnR5u\">pic.twitter.com\/4NAVVBnR5u<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Apex Legends Esports (@PlayApexEsports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PlayApexEsports\/status\/1546587785980780549?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 11, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>There was also the total viewership on the Apex Legends Twitch channel, which was the most popular last night.
