Loaded maintained its status as the number one Twitch team for another month, with its streamers banding together to help its monthly watch time rise by 14%. Outside the top five, the fight continued to be intense, with four squads sitting between 10.3M-11M Hours Watched. Among esports organizations, Sentinels was the top-ranking outfit, finishing as the only entry to cross 10 million HW, with a close fight deciding the rest of the top three.
The top two in this overall list continued their dominance, with Loaded and Mythic Talent being the only teams to go past 20M HW. GG Talent Group was the only other entry to hit at least 19M HW as its large roster, led by the likes of Elajjaz and forsen, put in the hard yards to help their squad finish in the monthly top three for a second straight month.
INSIGHT and OTK rounded off the top five, with both passing 15M HW thanks to similar growths in their month-on-month watch times. They also ensured that the top five in April and May remained the same, as all saw increments in their HW figures.
Sentinels, Chang Gang, Team Liquid, and G FUEL were two teams who climbed up the charts in May, although they remained in the bottom five of these top ten rankings. Meanwhile, the Twitch Ambassadors team lost two spots to end in the ninth spot last month after seeing a decrease of 7% in its monthly watch time, the only entry to see red by this metric.
Among esports organizations, the top two made the overall list, with TSM finishing third as the only other side to make it past 8M HW. It was also one of the four entries on this leaderboard to see over a 100% increase in its monthly watch time, thanks to its five most-watched streamers over this phase all seeing green in their HW figures compared to April.
Japan's ZETA DIVISION continued its solid run retaining its fourth position after rising from tenth to fourth by doubling its watch time in April. This was despite seeing a 15% decrease in its month-on-month Hours Watched stats in May.
South America had representation in the form of LOUD, while France had its own entry in the form of the popular squad, Mandatory.GG, which posted a 182% rise in its monthly watch time. Another name to see green in this regard is FaZe (157%), while the likes of Spacestation Gaming and FOKUS were in the red.
Interestingly, Heretics, who gained a lot in the March to April phase, almost posted the exact same figures to retain its place in the top ten for a third straight month. As one of the leading names in the Spanish community, it enjoys a massive reach, meaning there's never a shortage of viewers ready to catch the content of its influencers.
The first fresh entry among talent agencies is aNc, one of the three companies battling to finish in the sixth to eighth bracket alongside VShojo and SIDEQUEST. Two of these names handle some of the biggest creator talents across the globe, including PirateSoftware, iateyourpie, Tumblurr, and TheRealMarzaa, while the third is one of the top VTuber firms in the world with talents like ironmouse and Zentreya part of its roster.
Among the last three names, two are from Germany — 1UP and CIBERDIME — with their squads also including creators from Austria. UTA, meanwhile, has influencers from the UK and the US, although they could not better April's numbers and barely made the top ten after being the last of the entries to break the 3M HW barrier.
