Over 800K tune into to watch the FACEIT London Major (on Twitch alone), while the next Dota 2 season begins with the Kuala Lumpur Major qualifiers.

Every week, TEO releases a list of the top 10 Twitch esports channels, ranked by total number of hours watched, from Monday through Sunday. Discover your own insights using our tool.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

After roughly three weeks of competition, Danish Counter-Strike team Astralis delivered a decisive victory at the FACEIT London Major last Sunday. The viewership turnout, even just on Twitch, was fairly impressive; the broadcast of just the Grand Finals on FACEIT’s main channel delivered 1.53M total hours watched, 19.6% of the channel’s weekly total. Across all language broadcasts, the maximum concurrent viewership (max CCV) was over 800K, with FACEIT themselves confirming the total across all broadcast platforms to be over 1M. In its entirety, the tournament accrued 61M total hours watched on Twitch alone.

Dota 2

The Kuala Lumpur Major will be the first “Major” tournament of the 2018/19 Dota 2 Pro Circuit season, the 6th overall hosted by production company PGL . The main event will begin in mid-November, however, qualifiers have already begun for all participating regions: North America, South America, Europe, CIS, China, and Southeast Asia. As a result, multiple language broadcasts and secondary channels airing the Dota 2 action entered this week’s Top 10, with the Russian broadcast achieving the highest total hours watched at 1.5M.

Rocket League

The chart above represents the streaming activity for the official Rocket League channel, since the start of the RLCS Season 6.

Last week was also week three of the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) Season 6, which is divided into North American and European divisions each with their own secondary tier league (the “Rival Series”). The official Rocket League channel broadcast actually saw a 27.0% uptake in total hours watched from the previous week, up from 667.0K to 847.3K. This is partly because there were six matches played across the week in both NA and EU, as opposed to five in the season’s first two weeks.
