Although fewer people search for WoW content on Twitch.TV, the streamer Asmongold remains in first place there. And that’s precisely with live streams of World of Warcraft.
What is happening at TwitchTV? In recent weeks, some big name streamers have left Twitch and have been streaming on other platforms since. Ninja made a grand exit, followed by Shroud and Courage.
Viewers on TwitchTV who were attached to these channels now either follow the streamers to other platforms or look for other channels on Twitch to follow. It seems that the WoW streamer Asmongold has greatly benefited from this. As a solo streamer, he was watched the longest in October 2019. Close behind was the Fortnite streamer Tfue.
How well did it go for Asmongold? As Dexerto reports, things went really well for Asmongold in October. He was the only streamer to break the 6-million mark in “watched hours.” This is based on analyses from the website SullyGnome and StreamElements.
Close behind is Fortnite streamer Tfue. Following them are xQcOW, Summit1g, and NICKMERCS.
What is so special? With the release of WoW Classic at the end of August, a huge hype broke out on TwitchTV. Many wanted to watch how their favorite streamers dive into nostalgic World of Warcraft and entertain there. At times, the WoW category on the streaming platform had more than 1.1 million viewers and Asmongold was the king.
In the following month of September, Asmongold continued to secure the top position among the most viewed streamers. Tfue was in second place. Another WoW streamer, Sodapoppin, found himself in third place.
That Asmongold was also so successful in October is remarkable because the World of Warcraft category on Twitch has greatly diminished since then. According to SullyGnome, the hours watched dropped by 60% from September to October.
Now it remains to be seen how long Asmongold can maintain his top spot. He seems to have loyal viewers who still want to watch WoW with him.
A strong increase was seen for League of Legends, where the world championships are currently taking place. On Sunday, November 10, the final game will take place. If G2 Esports wins the LoL World Championship, it will probably be legendary.
Fortnite also gained many viewers. They started the second chapter of Fortnite: Battle Royale in October with a big bang.
