se in the average number of viewers for Dota 2 tournaments

The analytical service Esports Charts has reported on the impact of the DPC cancellation on the popularity of Dota 2 broadcasts.

The total hours of tournament viewership decreased by 50 million compared to 2023. However, the average number of viewers per broadcast nearly doubled. Detailed statistics are provided below.

It’s also worth noting the significant reduction in the number of tournaments. In 2024, only six championships took place, whereas in 2023 there were 21 events due to the ongoing regional leagues.

Valve canceled the Dota Pro Circuit system in September 2023. Now, events are organized by third-party operators such as FISSURE, ESL, and PGL. Based on the results of these championships, the developers allocated direct invitations to The International 2024.
