CS2 majors continue to post substantially higher viewership benchmarks than VALORANT events, underpinning the market's strong lean toward "No." Recent data shows IEM Cologne Major 2026 reaching a record 2.75 million peak concurrent viewers and over 100 million hours watched, while BLAST Austin 2025 also cleared 1.79 million. In contrast, VALORANT Champions 2025 peaked at 1.47 million, with VCT 2026 Stage 1 leagues posting year-over-year declines in hours watched and average viewers outside China, plus a 45% peak drop at EWC 2026. Early-2026 tactical-FPS comparisons confirm CS2 leading in peak viewers, hours watched, and weighted averages, reflecting deeper established audiences, broader international reach, and consistent major-scale draws that VALORANT has not yet matched despite occasional strong regional peaks.

"Qualifying CS2 Major" means either of the two 2026 Valve-sponsored Majors: IEM Cologne Major 2026 or PGL Major Singapore 2026.
"Peak Viewership" means the peak concurrent viewer count for the event's main broadcast as reported by Esports Charts (https://escharts.com), excluding Chinese platform viewership, consistent with Esports Charts' standard methodology.
This market resolves "Yes" if at least one qualifying VALORANT event's peak viewership figure is greater than the larger of the two CS2 Majors' peak viewership figures. The comparison uses each event's single highest peak-viewer figure across the full event.
If a qualifying event is cancelled or not held, it is simply excluded from the comparison. If no qualifying CS2 Major or no qualifying VALORANT event takes place in 2026, or if Esports Charts does not publish peak viewership figures for the relevant events by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No."
The resolution source for this market will be Esports Charts (https://escharts.com). A consensus of credible reporting may also be used where Esports Charts figures are unavailable or disputed.
