How was this list created? This list was created using data from sullygnome, a website that collects statistics and analysis data on channels and games on Twitch. The streamers are sorted by their average viewer numbers from the last 14 days.
The respective streaming focuses relate to the last 2 weeks (as of: 23.01.2023).

5. NNOPrime
- Average viewers: 13,904
- Followers: 38,398
- Focus: League of Legends
Unlike most other entries on this list, this is not an individual streamer, but the official account of the “Prime League” team of the German e-sports organization No Need Orga (NNO).
The rise to the 1st league was achieved by a team of 5 Twitch streamers, but due to personal and business reasons, other players will now represent NNO in the 1st league.
The channel features the team’s games, which are broadcast, commented on, and then analyzed. On average, more viewers tune in than for the official Prime League channel’s broadcasts.
Places 6 to 15
- 6. “GamerBrother” with 13,115 average viewers
- 7. “Trymacs” with 12,801 average viewers
- 8. “TisiSchubech” with 12,033 average viewers

How should these numbers be interpreted? It is clearly visible that there are currently major trends on Twitch. Besides big streamers like EliasN97, MontanaBlack, and Trymacs, who are almost always in the top 10, specialized streamers like BastiGHG are benefiting from the Minecraft hype.
On January 18th, the Spring Split 2023 of the Prime League started, which is why LoL is currently also strongly represented on Twitch. In addition, FIFA 2023 remains a huge game and Just Chatting is overall the dominant category.
