CS2 Majors have established a dominant viewership lead through record peaks, with the IEM Cologne Major 2026 reaching 2.75 million concurrent viewers and over 100 million hours watched—far exceeding VALORANT's top events. VALORANT Champions 2026 has posted peaks around 606K–695K early in the Shanghai event, consistent with prior VCT Masters and Champions figures that rarely approach CS2 benchmarks even on peak days. Expanded schedules and regional broadcasts have boosted total watch time for VALORANT without closing the concurrent gap, while CS2 benefits from deeper historical engagement and broader international appeal. This sustained disparity underpins the 96.5% trader consensus for "No." An extreme outlier final or measurement shift excluding major platforms could theoretically alter the outcome, though recent trends show little indication of such convergence.
