The Overwatch League channel remains in second place despite a 15.2 per cent drop in views. The channel seems to have dwindled slightly as season 2 of the OWL rolls on.

Tfue is in seventh after a 50 per cent increase in hours watched. The fast-rising Fortnite player also racked up over 2 million views in the last week, which explains Fortnite's return to the top of this week's most-watched games chart.
