“Los Ratones Make History: EMEA Masters 2025 Champs & Record-Breaking Viewership Sensation!”
The League of Legends esports scene just witnessed history! Los Ratones emerged victorious at the EMEA Masters Winter 2025, not only claiming the championship but also shattering viewership records along the way. Their thrilling Grand Finals showdown against Ici Japon Corp. Esports drew an astonishing 484,533 peak viewers, setting a new benchmark for the tournament’s popularity.
Breaking the EMEA Masters Viewership Record
According to Esports Charts, this year’s EMEA Masters wasn’t just about fierce competition—it was also the most-watched event in the tournament’s history. The previous record, set during the European Masters Spring 2021 between JD Excel and Karmine Corp (KC), stood at 377,531 peak viewers. However, despite having a significantly shorter runtime (32 hours vs. 85 hours), EMEA Masters Winter 2025 managed to draw nearly 100,000 more peak viewers, clocking in an impressive 5.7 million watch hours.
A Fierce Battle for Glory
Running from March 17th to 23rd, the tournament saw 16 elite teams—including fan-favorites KC Blue and Los Heretics—compete for a hefty €40,000 (~£33,500) prize pool. However, one team stole the spotlight: Los Ratones.
Founded by LoL personality and streamer Marc Robert ‘Caedrel’ Lamont, Los Ratones stormed through the competition with dominant performances, losing only a single series in the Group Stage to KC Blue before powering through to victory.
The Los Ratones Effect: A Viewership Juggernaut
Since its inception in November 2024, Los Ratones has taken the League of Legends scene by storm, winning every tournament they’ve entered. Much of their rapid rise can be credited to Caedrel’s influence, whose streaming presence and engaging content have fueled the team’s growing fanbase.
- NLC Winter 2025: The Grand Final between Los Ratones and NORD Esports reached 360,545 peak viewers.
- Caedrel’s Co-Stream Impact: His watch parties alone contributed 185,206 peak viewers to the NLC Winter event.
- EMEA Masters 2025: His co-stream attracted a staggering 287,937 viewers during the Grand Final.
The numbers don’t lie—Los Ratones was the most-watched team of the tournament, racking up a jaw-dropping 4.3 million watch hours. In comparison, Ici Japon Corp. and Karmine Corp Blue secured second and third place in viewership with 1.7 million and 1.3 million watch hours, respectively.
A Tournament Defined by Los Ratones’ Dominance
If there was any doubt about Los Ratones’ influence, the event’s most popular matches should settle the debate—four of the most-watched series in EMEA Masters 2025 featured them. The team has not only established itself as a powerhouse in competitive League of Legends but also as a fan-favorite squad capable of drawing massive audiences.
