Following this championship is the Dota 2 tournament in Hamburg. At ESL One Hamburg, the Russian-language broadcast has gathered 112 thousand peak viewers. The difference between the first two spots in the ranking equals to merely 1.7 thousand viewers.

The middle of the list is still occupied by the MDL Chengdu Major CIS Closed Qualifier, the fourth spot by StarSeries & i-League CS:GO Season 8, and closing the five was another qualifier – DOTA Summit 11 CIS Qualifier.

All other spots went to the streams in English, Spanish, Korean and Portuguese. It should be added that following riotgamesbrazil were the Russian-language stream DreamHack Masters Malmö and the official channel of Mythic Championship V.
