iG’s viewership has plummeted since the team “changed blood” in the lineup, iG is really just a name when there is no longer TheShy, Rookie, etc.
During the last LPL transfer period, there were many teams that had to say goodbye to their important “pillars” in turn. In which, it is necessary to mention the disbandment of the squad of the former world champion 2018 Invictus Gaming. In turn, the prominent names of iG such as TheShy, Rookie, Ning,… and even the coaching staff said goodbye to the team. It can be said that iG at the present time is really just a name.
Instead, there are new and unknown players to compete in the LPL Spring 2022. Therefore, in a short time, iG has lost a large fan base. The most obvious manifestation of this is the sudden drop in the number of iG’s match followers.
According to the most recent statistics from the LPL broadcast site in China. iG’s match saw a halving of viewership compared to the previous season. iG’s first match against TT recently only reached about 260,000 thousand views after 2 days of broadcasting. This number is at a very low level, in the last Summer 2021 tournament, the matches between iG and TT both had an average viewership of more than 1 million.
Meanwhile, the match on the same day, Weibo Gaming and Team WE, has reached more than 1 million views. It can be seen that iG’s charm has disappeared when this new lineup is just full of unfamiliar faces.
Since helping the LPL region win the World Championship for the first time in its history in 2018. iG has quickly gained a lot of love from the Chinese LoL community, especially there are 2 Korean players. TheShy and Rookie should also attract a lot of attention from the LCK fan community.
With this powerful force, it is not difficult to say that iG is the team with the largest number of fans in the LPL. Although the team’s performance has continuously declined over the years, the fans still pay a certain attention to the team.
Until the important players of iG left one by one, the fans had no reason to care about the results of this team anymore.
Information about LPL will be updated continuously, hope everyone will continue to watch more.
