Prize Money vs. Viewership: Two Different Dimensions

Leading the prize money list doesn't mean finishing first on the HW list — Liquid tops prize money but ranks second on HW; T1 ranks first on HW but 16th in prize money ($15.99M), as the LoL division's commercial and traffic value exceeds the combined total of traditional prize pools. When reading the list, it's worth comparing it against the club viewership hours ranking for reference.
