Fortnite is back on top after a 26.2 per cent rise in hours watched over the last week. The battle royale favourite amassed over 30 million hours last week. 

The rise of Fortnite sees League of Legends knocked back down into second place, alongside a 5.7 per cent decrease in views. Grand Theft Auto V keeps its regular spot in third despite a 4.9 per cent drop in hours watched. 

Teamfight Tactics is a new entry in fourth, with over 13 million hours watched. Teamfight Tactics is a brand new turn-based League of Legends mode released by Riot Games, but it counts as a separate release for now. 

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive moves up two places to fifth after a 55 per cent increase in hours watched. CS:GO celebrated 20 years of the Counter-Strike franchise last week with a retro version of the classic Dust 2 map. 

PUBG Mobile remains in sixth despite a 31.1 per cent rise in hours watched, and Dota 2 falls to seventh despite a 3.1 per cent increase in hours watched last week. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds falls to eighth following the rise of CS:GO and PUBG Mobile.

Overwatch stays in ninth place; a 23.2 per cent increase in hours watched keeps the title safe in the top 10. Minecraft closes the chart in tenth after a 48.5 per cent increase in hours watched. Last week, YouTuber Keemstar kicked off his new show, Minecraft Monday, which sees different influencers paired up to play Minecraft together. Ninja and Mr Beast were the first guests.
