A slew of influencers in attendance at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles (E3) created a shortage of personality streaming on Twitch leading to lower hours watched totals in the top 10 for streamers.
An absence by broadcasters such as Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and Nick “NickMercs” Kolcheff left a void in viewership that was primarily filled by mid-tier esports events like the Call of Duty World League Anaheim tournament.
The following channels are ranked according to the total number of hours watched on Twitch 
, from Monday to the following Sunday, with data compiled using TEO Access.
E3 Phone Home
With E3 taking place in Los Angeles last week, numerous personality streamers, led by Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, were missing in action from their Twitch channels creating a bit of a void in viewership across the platform for influencer-based content.
Turner “Tfue” Tenney led the way with 1.2M hours watched among personality streamers, but only three other personalities even managed to rack up at least 1M hours watched for the week. For comparison, last week’s top 10 chart had six influencers on it, each pulling 1M hours watched or more.
Additionally, this week only 10 streamers managed to accrue more than 600K hours watched. Fourteen personality streamers were able to attract 600K or more hours watched last week.
Two Times the Fun
As has been the case often this year, this past week’s StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor Season 2 at Cybersport Arena in Kyiv, Ukraine, produced two top 10 channels. This time around the Russian-language broadcast on the main StarLadder channel outperformed the English broadcast with 1.4M hours watched, averaging 15K concurrent viewers for all coverage, including re-runs.
The nine-hour finale broadcast on the English-language channel Sunday averaged 33K CCV peaking at 52K CCV. The Russian-language broadcast managed to pull a slightly stronger 36K CCV for the final day of live games, peaking at 58K CCV.
Call Me Maybe?
The Call of Duty World League Anaheim tournament from June 14-16 managed to crack the top 10 this week with 1.2M hours watched on just three days of broadcasting. Live action on Saturday spanned eight hours averaging 52K CCV, and the final day of action on Sunday had an average of 64K CCV, peaking at 121K CCV.
The tournament follows CWL London that accrued 1M hours watched in May. None of that tournament’s live broadcasts managed to eclipse an average CCV of 50K and peak viewership for the event sat at just 82K. However, the event still marked year-over-year growth for the main CoD Twitch channel for esports.
