The Thailandopening week of OverwatchLeague attracted more than 10 million viewers, which had the adverse effect of causing a noticeable hit on porn traffic, YouPorn data shows.
SEE ALSO: Nintendo Switch has cut deep into porn trafficYouPorn, one of the biggest porn sites on the internet, revealed that traffic fell as much as 9% below average during the inaugural matches of Blizzard's ambitious Overwatchesports league last week. The biggest traffic hit came during the first match between the San Francisco Shock and the Los Angeles Valiant.

The following three days of OverwatchLeague matches saw similar traffic patterns, though, albeit with less significant drops (8% on day two, 5% on day three, 3% on day four).
Another fact that makes it seem like less of a coincidence is that YouPorn users have shown their interest in Overwatchby searching for Overwatchrelated content on YouPorn. With OverwatchLeague on the mind in January, Overwatch-related searches actually increased way beyond their average.
Day one and day two of OverwatchLeague seemed to cause people to search for Overwatch-related porn 26% and 31% more than usual on YouPorn, showing a correlation between the two audiences.

Hopefully YouPorn can recover from these losses soon.
