The clash between reigning LPL champions JD Gaming and two-time Mid-Season Invitational winners T1, was always going to garner a lot of League of Legends<\/a> fans eyes, simply because the Chinese and Korean juggernauts have huge supporter bases in their home country.<\/p>\n

However, no one expected them to break the peak viewership record from the grand final of the 2022 Mid-Season Invitational<\/a>, where T1 and Royal Never Give Up saw 2.19 million viewers take in the blockbuster five-map series.<\/p>\n

The most recent series between JD Gaming and T1 in the upper-bracket final, set a record for an MSI series, with just under 2.3 million viewers catching the action across the multiple platforms that streamed the belter five-map, back-and-forth series, according to Esports Charts. <\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t surprise anyone that T1 played their role in breaking another viewership record, as the three-time world champions have been apart of the top three most viewed matches at MSI 2023, as well as the top five most watched matches from the 2022 MSI tournament. <\/p>\n

Not only do T1 have the greatest player of all time on its roster in Lee \u201cFaker\u201d Sang-hyeok, they also have two of the most promising LCK<\/a> rising stars, Lee \u201cGumayusi\u201d Min-hyeong and Ryu \u201cKeria\u201d Min-seok, who are quickly becoming great players in their own right. <\/p>\n

While on the other side of Summoners Rift, JDG have a few of the best players that we have ever seen in the LPL<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Park \u201cRuler\u201d Jae-hyuk is one of the best AD Carry players to grace the server, with Seo \u201cKanavi\u201d Jin-hyeok and Zhuo \u201cknight\u201d Ding considered to be a top three player in their respective lanes. <\/p>\n

Those 2.3 million viewers were treated to a top tier contest, as JDG and T1 traded maps early in the series, before T1 took a 2-1 lead and appeared to be on the brink of booking their place in the grand final. <\/p>\n

Nevertheless, JDG were never going to roll over and let that happen, and they came back to take the fourth map and then the fifth to take the series 3-2 and book their place in the grand final on Sunday. <\/p>\n

T1 will meet the winner of the Gen.G vs Bilibili Gaming, and if they can beat either of those teams in the lower-bracket final, we could see the viewership record broken again in the final series of MSI 2023.<\/p>\n
