Fortnite aficionado Ninja is back on top of the most watched list this week after a 29 per cent increase in views. The blue-haired superstar has knocked Riot Games down to second place.
DreamLeague and OverwatchLeague are both new entries this week, landing in third and fourth place respectively. Both of this Twitch channels are providing coverage for the ongoing Dota 2 and Overwatch esports tournaments.
Blizzard's official Warcraft Twitch channel is a new entry at fifth this week. The channel was providing coverage of the WoW Arena Worlds Championship event that took place at BlizzCon this weekend.

Trending channels by followers
YouTube gaming channel Myphex is leading the followers chart this week. The Fortnite-focused channel has experienced a 91 per cent increase in followers. It's interesting to note that back in September, this channel only had 284 subscribers. Two months later, it's closing in on 250k. Mental.
Myphex is followed by Areas De Testes, a Brazilian YouTube channel that makes weird science videos. We had a deeper dive into this and according to Social Blade, this channel gained 122k followers in a day, so we're probably going to discount it for hacking.
Other non-hacker entries this week include Russian Fortnite channel TEYNES, and Dynamo Gaming - a Mumbai-based creator making PUBG mobile content.
Trending channels by views
The trending by views chart is headed by Overwatch's official YouTube channel. The launch of a new hero this weekend saw fans of the game flock to watch the announcement video and its accompanying animated short.
Myphex and Redfury are also new entries to the chart, alongside CiccioGamer89 (main image), a Spanish YouTube streamer focusing on Fortnite.
