The top of the chart is filled with familiar streams like the Overwatch League 
and Riot Games , but with Tyler “Ninja” Blevins notably absent, Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp made a push for 2M hours watched.

League of Their Own
Typically the influencer category on Twitch is highly saturated with battle royale streamers like Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek, and Turner “Tfue” Tenney, but this week a couple of League of Legends streamers left a mark with a combined 3.36M hours watched.
With 60.73 and 56.07 hours of airtime, respectively, Tyler “Tyler1” Skeinkamp and Hammoudi “Yassuo” Abdalrhman averaged 32.13K and 22.55K concurrent viewers throughout the course of the week.

The jump in viewership comes in part due to an increase in broadcast time by both streamers. Skeinkamp, in particular, is known for taking long periods off from streaming, but when he is online, he’s consistently one of the most-watched influencers on the platform.
Smashing the Summit
Beyond the Summit’s Smash Ultimate Summit tournament this weekend notably poked its way into the top ten channels chart. The channel averaged 15.86K CCV overall, but the event’s Sunday finale peaked at 69.98K CCV helping it reach around 1.5M hours watched.

Climb the Ladder
StarLadder and ImbaTV’s first Dota 2 Minor of the 2018-2019 season attracted just more than 1M hours watched this past week on StarLadder’s Twitch channel. The tourney from March 7-10 featured a prize pool of $300K USD and was worth 500 Dota Pro Circuit points. It averaged 12.54K CCV across four days of coverage, including re-runs, and 85 hours of airtime.
