This week, channels with no place dominate the top of Twitch

The week of major gaming events and events has broken out. Special events in WoW, LoL, and Counter-Strike 2 are shaking up the top 5 games on Twitch. All the large personal signs that usually appear there are gone. Only Germans Papaplatte and eliasN97 remain in the top ten.

Who controls Twitch? The most popular streamers on Twitch are all famous people who usually represent a specific game or type of stream:

The most successful streamer is American Kai Cenat, who has made a splash in event streams. Then he plays through the games in one go. But the past week has been busy with a wild basketball campaign.

Number 2 is Ebay, a Spaniard rooted in esports and planning big events. In principle, his ideas are a model for German streamers like Trimax, who suddenly feel like organizing a boxing event.

In third to fifth place are Gaules, a long-time CS-GO player, fps_shaka, a Japanese player, and newcomer Jynxzi, who only plays Rainbow Siex Siege.

Trymacs is currently ranked 13th in Germany. He's currently playing more League of Legends:

Events in WoW, Counter-Strike, and LoL dominate Twitch

Who are the dominant channels this week?? This week is dedicated to three events:

The first World Race in WoW is over. For this reason, Echo Esports is ranked #1 on Twitch.

Maximum, the head of the Team Liquid guild, is in fourth place and the TeamLiquid channel itself is in fifth place in the charts.

All three channels broadcast the race to see who would be the first to defeat the raid boss in World of Warcraft, and in the end, Team Liquid, who had previously been noted for cheating, won.

The “World Premiere Race” is now fully marketed and sponsored. Otherwise the guilds probably wouldn't broadcast the race, because it's actually a competitive disadvantage to let other guilds monitor what you're doing and what tactics you're trying.

The channel “BLASTpremier” takes second place on Twitch this week. The BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024 tournament was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from September 25-29 for $425,000. G2 Esports won the tournament and $200,000 on September 29.

In third place, with twice the usual number of viewers, is Caedrel, a LoL analyst. It delivers the start of the LoL World Championship live, which started in Berlin over the weekend and has already claimed its first victim.

Where are the most successful Germans? Bucking the trend, Papaplatte in 8th and eliasn97 in 10th can stay in the top positions. Papaplatte was able to achieve significant gains, while eliasn97 lost compared to the previous week.

What will happen next? In CS:GO and WoW, the events have already ended, and will go down again – so there is movement in the top five again.

LoL Worlds has only just begun, and one can assume that Caedrel will continue to grow and the Riot Games channel will also continue to rise from sixth place.

On German Twitch, Tolkien in particular is likely to benefit from the LoL boom. He can stream LoL Worlds live and has increased his viewing minutes by 398% in the last 7 days: LoL: The German streamer has more viewers for Worlds on Twitch than his previous company's official stream
