They accounted for 43% of coverage and pulled esports into mainstream visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mobile titles dominated discussion:<\/strong> PUBG Mobile and Mobile Legends captured nearly half of all title-related mentions, a clear signal of where audience growth is happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Audience geography is shifting:<\/strong> While KSA and the US led the conversation, Brazil and other emerging regions cut into the dominance of traditional markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Game reputations diverged:<\/strong> Tekken 8 achieved 73% positive sentiment, largely thanks to broadcast clarity and Arslan Ash\u2019s performance, while Counter-Strike 2 faced backlash over technical flaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The numbers point to an inflection. Esports is less about single champions and more about ecosystems. Platforms, clubs, influencers and sponsors each played a role in shaping how the event landed culturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Download the full report<\/strong> to explore how the event became a case study in global engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-client-id=\"4d1cb9f0aa9249a4b7acc7226c53cffc\" data-config=\"{&quot;apiKey&quot;:&quot;4d1cb9f0aa9249a4b7acc7226c53cffc&quot;,&quot;embedMode&quot;:&quot;FULL_WINDOW&quot;,&quot;defaultViewMode&quot;:&quot;FIT_PAGE&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:&quot;500px&quot;,&quot;measurementId&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;showDownloadPDF&quot;:false,&quot;showPrintPDF&quot;:false,&quot;showFullScreen&quot;:true,&quot;showZoomControl&quot;:true,&quot;showAnnotationTools&quot;:false,&quot;showBookmarks&quot;:false,&quot;showThumbnails&quot;:false,&quot;dockPageControls&quot;:false,&quot;enableTextSelection&quot;:false,&quot;enableFormFilling&quot;:false,&quot;enableLinearization&quot;:false}\" id=\"pdf-1\" class=\"wp-block-tropicalista-pdfembed\" style=\"height:500px\" data-api-key=\"4d1cb9f0aa9249a4b7acc7226c53cffc\" data-file-name=\"EWC 2025\" data-media-url=\"https:\/\/carma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/EWC-2025.pdf\" data-show-page-controls=\"true\" data-show-thumbnails=\"true\" data-show-zoom-control=\"true\" data-show-full-screen=\"true\" data-default-view-mode=\"FIT_PAGE\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/share.hsforms.com\/1VrXFLQXoQCmcy24_-CxBfQ4d2kp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO FILL THE FORM &amp; DOWNLOAD YOUR COPY<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a $70M prize pool and 516K social mentions, the Esports World Cup (EWC) was not just a tournament.
