The playoffs of the MSI 2025 continue to amaze: the final series of the third day between T1 and CTBC Flying Oyster gathered 1.670 million peak viewers, setting a new tournament record for concurrent viewership.

The previous achievement belonged to the first playoff stage match between Gen.G and G2 Esports with approximately 1.200 million, which at that time topped the popularity charts. However, the clash between the legendary Korean organization T1 and the Taiwanese sensation CTBC Flying Oyster managed to break this barrier, becoming the most popular Game 1 at MSI 2025 so far.

The demand for the match is easy to explain: T1 are the reigning world champions, while CTBC Flying Oyster are the LCP champions with a young mid-laner. The intense series opener attracted viewers from various platforms and language broadcasts.

With each passing day, MSI 2025 is breaking new viewership records, and the playoff series are only gaining momentum. Many anticipated matches are still ahead, but it is already clear that this year's tournament will go down in history as one of the largest in League of Legends history.

The Mid-Season Invitational 2025 will run from June 27 to July 12 in Canada with a prize pool of $2,000,000. You can follow the news, schedule, and results of the tournament through this link.
