Loaded was again the topper in the monthly ranking for the most-watched Twitch team for January 2024. And it's dominance was seen in the gap to the next-best entry, as the content creation side did 46.4% better than any other side by this metric during these 31 days.
Of course, Tarik was pretty useful in helping the squad, with his 2.22M Hours Watched being a decent contribution. However, as he is also a part of Sentinels' streaming roster, this figure took even more importance as it made it to the top ten of the esports organization table thanks to his 44.7% contribution to its overall watch time statistics for the first month of the new year.

Loaded remained the number one team by watch time with 30.22M HW. It was one of the four talent agencies on this top ten leaderboard, with all occupying the first few places as the only names to cross 15M HW. The team's most-viewed game was Escape from Tarkov, with Shroud and Summit1g contributing the bulk of the heavy lifting for the game and the squad.
Next is INSIGHT, the only other name to cross 20M HW as this all-European roster saw the highest followers gain among the entries on this top ten list with 385.3K people. The highly-followed content creator and one of Germany's top names, NoWay4u_Sir, was the most-watched influencer for this team with 4.3M HW. One of his country's most-viewed streamers last year was busy broadcasting the game he is best associated with, League of Legends, also the most popular game for this team in January.
GG Talent Group is third, with three creators — the Swedish duo of Elajjaz and forsen and Brazil's BarbarousKing — emerging as the main contributors to its watch time last month. World of Warcraft, Escape from Tarkov, and Lethal Company emerged as the most popular games, with Deadlyslob emerging as the most popular influencer thanks to his drops-enabled live streams from January 2 and 4 that saw him grind hard in Escape from Tarkov, including solo PvPing.
Fourth was Mythic Talent, although it was the only name in the top four to see a decline in its watch time from the previous month. Lysium was the team's most-watched broadcaster and the only one to cross the 1M HW mark, a 160% rise from his stats in December 2023. The most popular categories for streamers from this group were Just Chatting and Grand Theft Auto V as both crossed 2M HW.
Rounding off the top five is one of the most famous media organizations globally, OTK, thanks to one of the most recognizable roster of streamers at any company. EsfandTV and Zackrawrr were easily the two most watched creators by a distance, although the latter did see a monthly decline of 32% in his numbers. GTA V was the most watched game live broadcast by these creators, although Monster Hunter: World ended as the most popular one in January.
G FUEL, Tribo Gaules, Chang Gang, and TSM filled the bottom half, with the last name being the only esports org to appear in these standings. SpeedRunsLive witnessed the highest jump in monthly watch time — 242% — in January thanks to the successful Awesome Games Done Quick 2024. This charity speedrunning marathon collected over $2.5 million for cancer research and saw four world records being broken.

TSM topped this list as the only entry to pass the milestone of 10M HW, a negligible fall from its figures in December 2023. TSM_ImperialHal was once again important to this figure, contributing a healthy 15.7% to the overall watch time. Apex Legends and GTA V were the most popular games, with the former seeing an improvement of 29% in its watch time thanks to the start of the new season.
FOKUS, a roster entirely made up of German and Austrian talent, was second and one of only three names on this top ten list to see green in its peak viewership numbers. Its most successful streamer was eliasn97, whose significant contributions were reflected in the fact that his watch time was 744.2% more than the next-best entry.
Rounding off the podium was Spacestation Gaming, whose 58% improvement in watch time was the second-best on this leaderboard. Like the previous entry, Jynxzi was a major contributor to the team's overall watch time, with his 8.91M HW accounting for a whopping 97.5% of the overall number. Most interestingly, this squad of content creators stuck to games that often go under the radar like Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, SMITE, and NBA 2K24, helping it add a substantial 656.1K followers.
Team Liquid was fourth with the most airtime and the most diverse squad of any team in the top ten. Gojqva and Midbeast were the busiest content creators, while LoL, Dota 2, and Valorant were the most viewed games. Next was LOUD, the Brazilian org with South American broadcasters like loud_coringa, the most-watched online star last month. These streamers played a lot of Garena Free Fire, which is why it saw a 246% increase in its monthly watch time.
ZETA DIVISION, Karmine Corp, Sentinels, Movistar KOI, and DeToNator were the bottom five names on this list. Karmine Corp saw the highest increase in its watch time (by 80%), although it did register the peak and average concurrent viewership numbers of the top ten. DeToNator went the other way, falling by 70% compared to the last month of 2023.

CHARON, the all-South Korean content creation team, is the fifth name on this list with 8.62M HW, a decline of 14% from the previous month. 랄로 was the most watched creator with 1.64M HW, a rise of 59% for him, although it could not help the team arrest the slide mentioned above.
Sixth is aNc with its line-up of Italian broadcasters, including Tumblurr, who remains one of the most popular Europen names on the circuit and is in the top five of his country's most followed Twitch stars. Next is UTA, consisting of American and English content creators like Mongraal and Maximilian_DOOD, the two most-watched names for this roster.
The last three names are CIBERDIME, VShojo, and SIDEQUEST, with the middle entry being one of the most followed VTuber agencies today, housing talents like ironmouse, the Content Creator of the Year gong winner at The Game Awards 2023. The other two organizations have influencers like xRohat and PirateSoftware, who remain popular names in their communities.
