Summit1g, CohhCarnage, LIRIK, and shroud also made a significant contribution to Loaded's overall result as they actively streamed Halo Infinite, Escape from Tarkov, and, of course, Starfield during the last month of summer.
Sentinels comes in second place and tops the rating of the esports organization. Its streamers accumulated 15.1 million HW in August, almost twice as much as in July. Similar to Loaded, Tarik made the biggest contribution to the total. It is worth noting that Sentinels did not make it into the overall Top 10 teams at the end of July, and even ranked seventh among esports organizations.
Mythic Talent agency secured third place in the ranking with a total of 14.7 million HW. The biggest contribution here came from streamer sodapoppin, who actively played Baldur's Gate 3 and Dark and Darker in August.
GG Talent Group took fourth place with a total of 14.6 million HW. This team of streamers had 13.7 million HW at the end of July. The result slightly improved thanks to Enviosity, Strippin, BarbarousKing, Insym, and other streamers.
In the overall Top 10, streaming teams such as TSM, OTK, INSIGHT, GFUEL, Tribo Gaules, and Riot Games are also on the list. Unlike the leaders, their results have not changed significantly compared to the previous month. It is worth noting the Riot Games community — where the official LEC and LPL channels were conducted — had significantly fewer Hours Watched than in July.

Sentinels is ahead of everyone
TSM ranked second in the esports organization ranking, following Sentinels: in August, the club's streamers accumulated 12.7 million HW, which is a 17% increase compared to July.

Cloud9, the previous leader, secured third place in the esports ranking. Last month, its content creators accumulated 10 million HW, which is 3.6 million HW fewer compared with the previous result. However, the leader within the club remains unchanged: k3soju, a Teamfight Tactics streamer, continues to make the biggest contribution to Cloud9's overall result.
The German organization FOKUS has climbed from eighth to fourth place, accumulating 9.8 million HW in August, which is almost 40% more from the previous month. This jump became made possible thanks to eliasn97, one of Germany's most popular streamers. Last month, he was more active than ever, hosting numerous interesting broadcasts and subathons; he nearly doubled the amount of time he spent streaming, and the HW number on his channel increased by 76%.
Team Liquid also improved its results, taking fifth place in the esports ranking for August. The leader in terms of HW was once again German streamer qojqva, who mainly plays Dota 2. Second place goes to midbeast, an Australian, who is a big fan of League of Legends. It's also worth mentioning the Brazilian Valorant streamer frttt, who achieved the third-highest result among all content creators in Team Liquid.
In the second half of the top esports organizations are LOUD, Heretics, Spacestation Gaming, DeToNator, and ZETA DIVISION. Excluding the Brazilians, the last four organizations showed very similar results in terms of watch time. However, each of them had their own dynamics. For example, Heretics and Spacestation Gaming significantly increased their results compared to July, while DeToNator and ZETA DIVISION saw a decline by 50-60% compared to the previous month. Among all these five, it is worth highlighting American streamer Jynxzi, who is now rightly called the new rising star of Twitch. More details about him can be found here.
