InfluencerUpdate.biz has teamed up with esports and streaming analytics firm Stream Hatchet to bring you weekly charts of the most popular games and creators in the streaming space.

This chart documents the most watched channels by hours across Twitch, YouTube Gaming, Mixer and Facebook.

Each week we'll be documenting the top ten most watched channels across all the major streaming platforms, so you can see which creators are growing and which ones are in decline. The chart also shows what games they play the most. Check out our chart covering the top ten most watched games of the week here.

We'll also document the top ten rising channels of the week. These are the creators that are rising fastest on their respective platforms.

This chart covers the week commencing November 19th to November 26th.

Most watched channels

Ninja is back on top this week after last week's leader falls from the chart. As the Dota 2 Kuala Lumpur Major draws to a close, the channels covering it begin to experience massive drop-offs.

Twitch streamer Tfue experienced another big leap this week and is now in second place, less than 600k views behind Ninja himself. While 600k is a lot of views, it's barely a fraction of what the Fortnite megastars see each week.

YouTuber Nick Eh 30 is third after a 39 per cent increase in views this week. Fourth place has a new challenger this week - YouTube channel FACEIT. The UK-based channel organises game tournaments and provides coverage of other esports events taking place around the world.

League of Legends name loltyler1 is in fifth this week after a huge 142 per cent burst in views this week. The streamer has had a few weeks off and made his return on November 24th.

Shroud is down to sixth after a 24 per cent decrease in views, closely followed by new entry TaKeTV at number seven. Twitch channel Dota2RUHub is in eighth place, again as a result of Dota 2 coverage trailing off. 

YouTube channel Vietnam Esports TV is a new entry at ninth. The channel is currently focusing on FIFA 119 and experienced a massive 609 per cent leap in views on last week. Lastly, Twitch's CohhCarnage is rounding off the chart this week, and is the only channel in this list that covers Fallout: 76

Trending channels by followers

This week's followers chart is led by Tfue, who also made second on the most watched chart. The Fortnite streamer racked up over 82,000 followers in the last week. YouTube channel Trinity GX is a new entry also, racking up 81,000 followers in a week.

Other entries include Twitch channel Aydan, who topped last week's trending by views chart, and Fortnite streamer Synfuhny, who has racked up over 48,000 followers this week. That amount is 11 per cent of his overall follower count.

Trending by views

YouTube channel VEGETA777 is topping the trending views chart this week. The gaming channel is already well established with over 24 million subscribers, but its recent foray into streaming has caused a large spike in views. A 7.8 million spike.

Other entries this week include Typical Gamer, who came fourth in last week's trending by views chart, and YouTube channel Garena Lién Qúan Mobile, a Vietnamese channel providing coverage of the Arena of Valor international championship.
