Published by Finnish game company Supercell<\/strong>, Brawl Stars is a mobile MOBA and third-person shooter that sees players compete in a variety of game modes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nThis year\u2019s world finals was won by ZETA DIVISION<\/strong>, a Japanese esports organisation that currently operates with a Polish roster, after beating STMN Esports<\/strong>. The organisation takes home a lion\u2019s share of the event\u2019s $750,000 (~\u00a3594,000) prize pool.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAs a result of the victory, ZETA DIVISION has won the last three consecutive Brawl Stars World Finals, albeit under different esports divisions. In 2022, ZETA DIVISION finished first and second due to the fact that the organisation previously operated two rosters \u2014 ZERO and ONE.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nZETA was the most popular esports organisation in the event, recording around 292,800 hours across the competition\u2019s nearly 15-hour air time. Semi-finalists Crazy Racoon<\/strong>, another Japan-based organisation, were the most popular team in terms of average viewers, recording around 193,400 viewers during its matches.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nIn terms of overall average viewers, the event also recorded lower figures than in 2022<\/a>. This year\u2019s event recorded 164,232 average viewers, down from 200,259 in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n \nPer Esports Charts, the most popular broadcasts remain to be English-language broadcasts (139,588 peak viewers), whereas the most popular platform is once again Twitch (235,012). <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nFinally, whilst peak and average viewership is down, this year\u2019s Brawl Stars World Finals recorded more hours watched (3.1m)\u00a0than 2022 (2.95m).<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAlongside the Brawl Stars showcase, this year\u2019s Dreamhack Winter at J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping, Sweden featured a range of other esports competitions. This included the ESL R1 Fall Major, eFIBA World Finals and Counter-Strike\u2019s ESL Challenger, the latter of which was won by Monte.
Last year saw Brawl Stars\u2019 World Championship head to Disneyland Paris. The competition\u2019s previous locations also include Bucharest (Romania) and Busan (South Korea).<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image credit: Supercell via X (@Brawl_esports) The Brawl Stars World Finals 2023 has recorded lower peak and average viewership figures compared to its previous edition last year.\u00a0 The season-ending tournament took place during DreamHack Winter in Sweden and garnered 273,149 peak viewers, more than 120,000 less than in 2022, according to esports data platform Esports … Continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":72,"featured_media":146393,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","esi_template":"default","excluded":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4271,63,10142,239,55,106,237,326],"tags":[8413,15061,2494,40],"class_list":["post-146390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-battle-royale","category-commercial","category-data","category-europe","category-esports-titles","category-latest-news","category-news-by-region","category-mobile-esports","tag-brawl-stars","tag-brawl-stars-world-finals","tag-dreamhack-winter","tag-esports"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
