At the start of 2025, three leading Twitch squads representing talent agencies firmly established themselves at the top. By the end of February, these same teams maintained their dominance, steadily increasing their lead over the competition. That said, the rankings still saw some exciting changes: a relatively new player entered the overall top 10, and one more esports organization made a big leap into the mix. Let’s break it all down.
Talent agencies continue to dominate the overall Twitch team rankings, securing the top five positions. The top three remain unchanged from January, with Mythic Talent once again leading the way. The squad’s success is fueled by its star creators: Zack "ZackRawrr" (better known as Asmongold), Case "CaseOh" Baker, and Chance "Sodapoppin" Morris.
In January, Mythic held a commanding lead, but in February, its main competitor, Loaded, made a significant push, narrowing the total watch-time gap to just 5 million hours. Unlike Mythic, Loaded’s viewership is spread more evenly across its roster, though a few standout creators still lead the pack. Jaryd “summit1g” Lazar remains the top draw, while a strong group of streamers, including Tarik "tarik" Celik, Michael "shroud" Grzesiek, Ben "CohhCarnage" Cassel, and Saqib "LIRIK" Zahid, closely trails behind.
GG Talent Group stands out for its balanced lineup of creators, with no single dominant star, unlike the top two squads. Instead, the combined efforts of its streamers drive its success, keeping the agency firmly in the top three. In February, it even widened its lead over the fourth-place team, albeit slightly. The group’s most-watched streamers last month were European creators Elias "Elajjaz" Lönn, Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen, and Sebastian "forsen" Fors.
One of the standout stories in February was the rapid rise of Yume Talent, a squad of just four members, all deeply connected to the League of Legends esports scene. The driving force behind the agency’s success is Marc "Caedrel" Lamont, the most popular LoL esports co-caster. Last month, he not only covered major leagues but also casted matches for his own team, Los Ratones, in the NLC. His involvement, along with his team's strong performance, sparked massive interest, making the tournament more popular than several bigger, more established events on paper, including LTA, LCP, and LPL.

Another major shift in the rankings was the steep decline of One True King (OTK). For years, the organization’s biggest viewership driver was Asmongold, but by the end of February, it was officially confirmed that he had parted ways with OTK following a string of controversies. His departure had an immediate impact, causing a significant drop in the team’s viewership, and by the end of the month, OTK only just managed to cling to a spot in the overall top 10.
When it comes to talent agency rankings, there weren’t any major shake-ups. Most of the top agencies from January held their positions. The only significant change was the exit of the Austrian-German agency CIBERDIME from the top 10, with RAHFT taking its place.
Like its predecessor, RAHFT primarily works with German-speaking content creators. In February, its top-performing streamers were Dracon, Patrick "Tabsy," and AresLPs.
Among Twitch teams affiliated with esports organizations, Spacestation Gaming and Sentinels showed the most significant growth in February. Spacestation Gaming, in particular, saw a surge in viewership thanks to the Six Invitational 2025, the premier Rainbow Six Siege tournament of the year. Many of the club’s streamers, including Nicholas “Jynxzi” Stewart, served as co-casters for the event, naturally attracting more viewers, especially since Spacestation’s competitive roster was also in the fight.
Sentinels experienced a similar surge in viewership, thanks to their participation in VCT Americas and the first international Valorant tournament of the season, VCT Masters Bangkok. The organization boasts the most popular Valorant roster in the world, and its co-casters play a crucial role in that success. After all, top-tier creators like Tarik and Tyson "TenZ" Ngo provide coverage of their matches, further fueling fan engagement.
Looking ahead, it will be exciting to track the progress of the top three talent agencies as they maintain their dominance in the Twitch rankings. The trend of talent agencies outperforming other teams in viewership appears set to continue, though new challengers may emerge. Meanwhile, ZETA DIVISION’s strong position among esports teams raises questions about its ability to retain the lead in the coming months. With major esports events scheduled for March, it will be important to watch how these tournaments influence the rankings and whether they spark any shifts in the competitive landscape.
