League of Legends is in third place, and an 8 per cent rise in views sees the MOBA rack up over 25 million hours. Grand Theft Auto V is pushed down to fourth by Dota, but Rockstar's flagship is still going strong with over 19.4 million hours watched. 

Minecraft remains in fifth place, and an 11.7 per cent rise in views takes Mojang's block-buster over 12.3 million hours watched in the last week. PUBG Mobile also keeps its spot in sixth, amassing over 9.7 million hours after a 7.9 per cent increase in views.
