As indicated, the Pokémon UNITE Asia Champions League 2024 hit a huge milestone by getting 49,000 people watching at the same time. That’s almost as many as the 2023 World Championships, which had 10,000 more viewers. It shows how much more popular the Asian league has become. Reportedly, last year’s Finals had only 15,562 viewers, so this is a big jump, almost three times as many people tuning in.
