Based on the latest data, the viewership is up 38% year-over-year, to 834 billion minutes at the time of writing. That’s about 14 billion hours. 

Furthermore, there is an average of 2.91 million concurrent viewers per month, up by 37%. Research estimates that total viewership will be around 300 million frequent esports viewers by 2023. 

Let’s take a look at some statistics and breakdowns:
