M4 Mobile Legends has successfully become the opening act for the excitement of the esports scheme in the country this year after PMGC 2022. In fact, the official competition from Moonton is predicted to be one of the most popular tournaments in the history of esports.
As quoted by us from the Esports Chart, Wednesday (18/1/2023), this is evident from the large number of online viewers it has gathered. M4 Mobile Legends managed to collect more than 80.1 million Hours Watched (HW).
This number is followed by an average of 806 thousand people watching simultaneously. The highest online peak reached 4.2 million pairs of eyes, during the upper bracket semi-finals.
At that time, the match that was presented was Blacklist International against Indonesian representative RRQ Hoshi. But unfortunately, RRQ had to acknowledge the toughness of the team from the Philippines, and went down to the lower bracket.
The number of spectators will usually increase when two representatives of Indonesia are in action. As previously reported, Indonesia has Onic Esports and RRQ Hoshi who defend the country.
For example, during RRQ Hoshi vs Echo, the number of viewers reached 3.1 million peak viewers. Then during the prestigious Onic vs Echo match, fans watched up to 2.8 million peak viewers and many more.
Therefore, it's not wrong if M4 Mobile Legends holds the title as one of the most popular esports tournaments. If the barometer refers to the largest number of spectators, this prestigious event is behind Worlds 2022 and FFWS 2021 Singapore.
M4 Mobile Legends is a world championship held by Moonton in Indonesia. The excitement was brought to two different locations, namely Bali United Studio (group stage) and Tennis Indoor Senayan (knockout stage and grand final).
For the holding period, it starts from January 1-15 2023 and the total prizes offered are USD 800 thousand.
