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

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

Each week we'll be documenting the top ten most-watched titles across all the major streaming platforms so you can see which games are thriving among content creators and which titles are waning in popularity. We also have a chart documenting the week's biggest content creators.

This chart covers the week commencing September 16th.

There's a shakeup at the top this week as League of Legends moves into number one. A 1.78 per cent rise in views saw Riot's MOBA  rack up over 20.9 million hours last week. 

Fortnite sits in second place and sees a 4.1 per cent drop in views. World of Warcraft falls from the top spot to third after a 22.1 per cent dip in views - the largest drop on the board.
