Worlds viewing shifts further towards community broadcasts

The story

Community broadcasts generated 63.1% of Worlds 2026 Swiss Stage watch time, according to Esports Charts.

The analytics company tracked 262 unique broadcasting channels during the stage. Caedrel led the co-streamers with 12.65 million hours watched, ahead of kamet0 and Ibai’s Twitch channel.

More than one way to follow Worlds

The figures describe how viewers followed the competition, rather than which team performed best. Caedrel contributed almost 32% of community-stream watch time by himself. Kamet0’s coverage included Karmine Corp’s journey towards the knockout stage.

For organisers and teams, the report illustrates the size of the audience reached through individual creators alongside official broadcasts. The measurements apply to the Swiss Stage sample; they should not be read as final figures for the entire championship.
