Update: Order adjusted based on correct data.

While League of Legends and Dota 2 continue to MOBAlize strong viewership, something called “TwitchPlaysPokemon” drove a massive, half-fanatical, half-bewildered crowd to the now “ledgendary” Pokémon Red. This isn’t the time to use that, Red. This isn’t the time to…you get the point.

Meanwhile, Titanfall debuted to a very strong broadcast and viewership numbers within a relatively small windows. Finally, Hearthstone appears to be here to stay in the Top 10, you could say “like a rock”. Disclaimer: No Murlocs were hurt in the writing of this blog. These jokes, gotta catch them all. I’ll let myself out.

As always, we sort this list by the overall number of minutes watched per game. This allows us to give you a more accurate view of the Twitch community, as it helps negate the influence of front page and other promotions.
