CS2's recent dominance in S-tier viewership underpins the strong market lean, with the IEM Cologne Major 2026 delivering record peaks above 2.75 million concurrent viewers and over 100 million hours watched—the highest for any Counter-Strike event. Early 2026 data showed CS2 S-tier tournaments generating roughly 205 million hours watched and 1.38 million peaks versus VALORANT's 130 million hours and sub-900,000 peaks, despite shorter airtime. VALORANT's 2025 Champions final reached 1.47 million but trailed comparable CS2 Majors, while 2026 VCT Stage 1 events posted notable regional declines in hours and averages. CS Majors occur twice yearly with broader international brackets, sustaining higher engagement than VCT Masters or Champions cycles.

"Qualifying CS2 Major" means either of the two 2026 Valve-sponsored Majors: IEM Cologne Major 2026 or PGL Major Singapore 2026.

This market resolves "Yes" if at least one qualifying VALORANT event's peak viewership figure is greater than the larger of the two CS2 Majors' peak viewership figures. The comparison uses each event's single highest peak-viewer figure across the full event.
If a qualifying event is cancelled or not held, it is simply excluded from the comparison. If no qualifying CS2 Major or no qualifying VALORANT event takes place in 2026, or if Esports Charts does not publish peak viewership figures for the relevant events by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No."
