ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023; Where was the hype?

But it felt a bit lackluster in hype and viewership.

So why did this event not garner more attention and gain more viewers?

Teams participated in DreamLeague Season 21 back in September…. BEFORE The International 2023.

And speaking of The International, ESL One KL took place only six weeks later.

It was easy to overlook an event sandwiched between a huge LAN and an equally huge holiday break.
