Despite excluding data from Chinese platforms, Esports Charts reported that Masters Bangkok saw an overall peak of over 1.3m, marking a new milestone in the series’ history. This would make it the second-most watched VALORANT Masters event (although VCT has called it the most-watched, likely including fans from China to reach 4m viewers).
