On May 27, the Kings World Cup 2024 saw six matches unfold. The highlight was a thrilling clash between Foot2Rue and PIO FC, led by two prominent Twitch streamers: the Frenchman Amine and Mexico's Rivers_gg. Despite PIO FC's dominant 5-1 lead, Foot2Rue staged a remarkable comeback, leveling the score and clinching victory in a penalty shootout.
In another gripping match, Kunisports faced off against FIVE FC. Kun Aguero and Rio Ferdinand's proteges secured a narrow 6-5 victory, rounding off the series in their favor.
From other matches, it's worth noting how the Uruguayan team Raniza FC crushed the Japanese team Murash FC with a score of 10-4. Meanwhile, the Brazilians from FURIA FC defeated Olimpo United 6-1. Overall, all teams exhibit varying levels of gameplay, and invited professional footballers don't always manage to bail out their teams: for instance, notable for their missed penalties at the Kings World Cup 2024 are Francesco Totti and Kun Aguero.
The clash between PIO FC and F2R stole the spotlight on the second day of the Kings World Cup's main stage, drawing over 1.12 million Peak Viewers and landing within the top three matches for viewership throughout the tournament. Particularly noteworthy was the community casting of this match by the French streamer aminematue, who attracted over 499.3K PV, ranking as the second-highest viewership in the history of his channel.
Amine attracted an even larger audience during another football showcase, the ELEVEN ALL-STARS match featuring France and Spain back in 2022. That broadcast drew in over 1.15 million concurrent viewers. Currently, aminematue holds the second position among Kings World Cup streamers in terms of peak viewership, with only sxb, a Saudi Arabian Kick streamer known, surpassing him.
After May 27, Kings World Cup saw a spike in peak audience on Twitch, particularly within the French language streams, all thanks to Amine's stream. However, the overall peak viewership and metrics in other major languages remained largely unchanged.
In just one day of Play-In and two days of the main event, the Kings World Cup generated over 11.1 million Hours Watched. With this metric, the media football world championship has already caught up with major esports leagues and tournaments such as DreamLeague Season 21, ALGS: 2022 Championship, and Gamers8.
May 28th marks the concluding day of the inaugural round of the Kings World Cup. On this day, teams will engage in six additional matches. Subsequently, the pairings for Round 2 will be finalized. Following the completion of Round 2 matches, the 16 teams progressing to the playoff series will be identified.
