@Horserider21 Just finished reading the latest book by my favorite author and I cant recommend it enough! Such a gripping and emotional story that had me hooked from start to finish.
I currently use the badger 50 SPF mineral sunscreen which uses uncoated zinc oxide. However, I have seen a few posts here and a study claiming that uncoated zinc oxide has a maximum effectiveness of 10SPF, and also that uncoated zinc oxide generates free radicals? Is there truth to this? The products are all FDA tested.
The leader in terms of audience numbers is the FNCS 2024 - Major 1: Europe, which saw a huge spike in its year-on-year stats. It recorded 739.5 Peak Viewers, during Round 5 on Day 2 of the Finals, 8.04M Hours Watched, and 368.6K Average Viewers over an airtime of 22 hours.

At the DreamHack Atlanta 2023, the event organisers hosted the ESL SC2 Masters 2023 Winter tournament. The tournament was the third entry in the Global Events series of the ESL Pro Tour 2023/24 for StarCraft II, and it received 35.6K Peak Viewers.
The Masters 2023 Winter event ranks within the top 5 most popular Starcraft II events of the year, although the IEM Katowice 2023 event received over double the viewership of this tournament. The IEM Katowice event has been the most popular Starcraft II event of the year for five years now, with 2023 continuing the trend.
French player Clem claimed a victory at the event over Finnish rival Serral, claiming the most popular match of the event simultaneously. Critically, this was the first event of the 2023/24 ESL Pro Tour circuit that Serral did not claim victory at, making his lowest finish for this season so far 2nd. Clem is not far behind the flying Finn, building up tension and excitement for the upcoming two events of the Pro Tour.
DreamHack Atlanta 2023 was the final event of DreamHack’s 2023 world tour, which spanned 7 countries and 12 festivals. The festival in Atlanta hosted some major esports events, including even a world championship tournament, but also made time for smaller esports projects.
DreamHack Atlanta represented various esports disciplines through small BYOC events for the community to enjoy, such as numerous fighting games and a small-scale Overwatch 2 event. For this piece, we are focusing on the major esports tournaments of the weekend to give an overview of the highest moments of the event. If you want detailed statistics for a smaller event at the festival, browse our database for the tournament and explore the data.
League of Legends and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang dominated peak viewership for 2023. Matches from Worlds 2023 became some of the most popular content of the entire year, although events from ML:BB featured more heavily lower down the ranking than any other discipline.
Disciplines such as Counter-Strike and Dota 2 hosted some of their most popular matches of the year at the discipline’s most prestigious events of the year, but they were unable to reach further heights than their disciplines had achieved in previous years. The teams behind the action, were as always, one of the most important pieces of the puzzle.
Without T1’s worldwide popularity, it is unlikely that the League of Legends 2023 World Championship would have reached the same high peak viewership, and if an Indonesian team had not qualified for the M5 World Championship Grand Final it would be unlikely that the discipline would have broken 5M Peak Viewers at all. The esports teams competing in these events remain a critical part of how esports viewership is drawn in, and without these teams the events would be far less likely to achieve the same peak viewership which they did this year.
Finally, Team Spirit against Gaimin Gladiators was the most popular Dota 2 match of the year. The match was the Grand Final of The International Dota 2 Championships 2023, a yearly international ultimate championship for the year of competition. The match was one of two matches at the event to break over 1M concurrent viewers, and it received over 170K more concurrent viewers at peak than the next most popular match of the event.
In total, the Grand Finals between Team Spirit and Gaimin Gladiators reached 1.44M Peak Viewers, only about 2K viewers fewer than the Valorant match. Team Spirit have had an extremely dominant showing in Dota 2 this year. The team has competed in only 12 tournaments since the beginning of 2023, and they finished in either 1st or 2nd at a majority of these events. For winning the Riyadh Masters 2023 event, they took home $5M in prize money, and they have been victorious at some of the biggest events of the year.
Gaimin Gladiators on the other hand have also had an extremely strong 2023. The European organisation entered Dota 2 in 2022, and they have had a largely successful time since then. The Gaimin Gladiators roster was even able to win some events that Team Spirit also competed at, such as the Bali Major 2023 and DreamLeague Season 20. Unfortunately for GG, they were unable to overcome Team Spirit at The International 2023 and were defeated in an unceremonious 0:3 loss. Team Spirit became the world champions for 2023 and helped the discipline of Dota 2 achieve its highest peak viewership of the entire year.
Valorant managed slightly fewer Peak Viewers than Counter-Strike, having reached 1.44M Peak Viewers at the Brazillian LOCK IN event. The key for the high viewership at this match between Fnatic and LOUD was Portuguese-language viewership.
In Valorant, Portuguese-speaking viewership is highly important for international events reaching high viewership. We saw at the recent VALORANT Champions 2023 event that LOUD hosted some of the most popular matches of the event, far more popular than other matches. This was equally true at the first international event of 2023, the LOCK IN São Paulo event.
The Brazillian crowd gave way to even more Portuguese-speaking viewership online, and it reached its peak when LOUD advanced to compete against Fnatic in the Grand Final. Ultimately, Fnatic were the victors at this tournament, taking home their first international victory of the year from the event. But this match remains Valorant’s most popular match of the year with 1.44M Peak Viewers, thanks to a huge boost from Portuguese-speaking audiences for this match.
Toncoin (TON) Skyrockets 13% Following Launch of Telegram’s Advertising Platform
In a groundbreaking move, Telegram has announced the launch of its new advertising platform, built on the innovative The Open Network (TON) blockchain. This latest development is set to revolutionize how channel owners are compensated, introducing a new era of financial rewards in over 100 countries starting this March.
With the launch, Telegram channel owners are poised to receive a significant boost, getting 50% of the total advertising revenue generated within their channels. This marks a substantial shift towards rewarding content creators for their contributions and engagement on the platform. The Telegram Ad Platform aims to foster a more integrated and rewarding community by using the TON blockchain to process payments exclusively.
Telegram’s Bold Leap with Toncoin
This decision underscores Telegram’s commitment to leveraging the TON blockchain’s capabilities, known for its speed and security, making it an ideal choice for handling ad revenue transactions. The move is anticipated to greatly enhance the user experience by providing a secure and efficient payment system, while also promoting the growth of the TON-based digital economy within Telegram.
The introduction of this ad platform builds upon the success of previous TON-based initiatives by Telegram, such as the sale of digital Telegram usernames and anonymous phone numbers, which were launched through https://t.co/rk9inhpaop in 2023. These projects have laid the groundwork for transforming Telegram into a Web3 superapp, further solidifying its dedication to the TON blockchain.
Channel owners receiving their ad revenue share face a strategic choice: to cash out their earnings or reinvest them into promoting and upgrading their channels. This reinvestment option is designed to catalyze channel growth, attract more viewers, and, in turn, generate increased revenue, establishing a self-sustaining cycle of growth and investment.
TON Price Goes Bullish
In light of these developments, the TON blockchain’s native cryptocurrency, Toncoin (TON), has seen a remarkable surge in its value. The coin’s price has jumped by 13.63% in the last 24 hours, now trading at $2.44. Over the past week, TON has seen an over 15% increase, with its market capitalization reaching $8.47 billion, making it the 15th-largest cryptocurrency according to CoinMarketCap. Moreover, its 24-hour trading volume has skyrocketed by 424.83%, reaching $253.6 million.
This surge reflects the growing confidence and excitement around the TON blockchain and its integration into Telegram’s ecosystem. By utilizing the TON blockchain for ad payments, Telegram is not only promoting efficiency and security but is also paving the way for a new digital economy where content creators are empowered and rewarded for their efforts.
As Telegram continues to innovate, the integration of Toncoin into its advertising ecosystem is anticipated to create a virtuous cycle of value, fostering growth and innovation within the platform. This development not only benefits Telegram users and channel owners but also contributes to the broader adoption and recognition of TON blockchain technology.
