Esports Charts becomes the official viewership analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025

Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, teams up with StarLadder, a pioneering tournament organizer. The Budapest Major 2025 marks a highly anticipated comeback for StarLadder, as it's their first Counter-Strike Major since 2019 and a significant return to the top-tier esports arena.

As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event. This will empower organizers, teams, sponsors, and fans with unparalleled transparency and a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.
 

“We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025,” said Artyom Odintsov, co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts. “Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer. 

It’s genuinely exciting to follow how viewership will develop at this Major. But knowing the expertise, drive, and passion that the organizers are bringing, I have no doubt we’ll witness some incredible things happen in Budapest. 

Esports Charts has always been driven by a mission to provide the esports community with accurate, actionable data, and we look forward to showcasing the impact and audience engagement of this world-class event.”

StarLadder has been a driving force in global esports for almost 15 years now, since hosting its first tournaments in 2011. Renowned for its innovation and reliability, the company has organized some of the industry’s most iconic events. These include the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019, which accumulated over 44 million hours watched and remains in the top 10 CS events by this metric, and the legendary StarSeries tournaments which started back in 2012. 
 

“We’ve been working with Esports Charts since their founding and have always valued their professionalism and integrity,” said Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Sales and Partnerships at StarLadder. “In a market where reliable data is essential, Esports Charts provides honest, transparent numbers, exactly the kind of insights sponsors and stakeholders rely on when assessing the potential reach of a World Championship event.

We’re confident that this partnership will result in a high-quality analysis of our tournament’s performance and the audience data we’ll report to our partners. It’s a collaboration built on trust, shared values, and a deep understanding of what it takes to elevate esports to the next level.”

The Starladder Budapest Major 2025 will be held from November 24 to December 14 in Budapest, Hungary.
