I figured it would be a good idea to post these numbers here. A handful of people in the MCSR Census server run viewership tracking for large events, and playoffs is definitely on our radar.

S10 of MCSR Ranked Playoffs averaged 31440 CCV over 24 hours of gameplay, down 28.6% from S9 (44062 CCV, 19.5 hours). This amounted to 751,436 viewer-hours, and generated ~$637,220 in "media value", using escharts' S9 figure of $728,620 (859,217 viewer-hours) as a reference.

The viewership decrease was mainly due to a halving of Ludwig's viewership; MCSR organic viewercounts remained consistent, hovering around the low-20k range and peaking at 28k. That said, this is no cause for pessimism - numerous tournaments over the summer (Midoffs Live, Minecraft World Championships, Gridlock, Minecraft World Cup, MC Leagues) are bound to bring in many new people.

Day-by-day figures:
Day 1: 31960 peak, 24994 average
Day 2: 34330 peak, 27965 average
Day 3: 41040 peak, 33021 average
Day 4: 46901 peak, 37390 average
