There was not much change within the Twitch teams' ranks over the first two quarters of the year, with a bunch of names continuing to reign atop the overall list. Even the lower half of the leaderboard featured familiar names, with positions shifting depending on each channel’s total watch time in Q2.
An interesting trend is that most entries in the Twitch teams' standings for the second quarter of 2025 saw dips in their cumulative Hours Watched (HW) numbers. OTK, one of the most recognizable content creator groups globally today and a regular on these lists, continued to struggle without one of its biggest names, Zack "Zackrawrr", and tumbled out of the rankings altogether.
One agency, perhaps the biggest in Virtual YouTubing, maintained its position as the most watched and preferred among viewers. The busy esports period in May and June also ensured that the prominent streamer-owned entities, Karmine Corp, Movistar KOI, and Gentle Mates, maintained their positions as highly followed Twitch teams.
Most watched Twitch teams in Q2 2025
The top four names remain unchanged on the overall list, although only one of them saw a quarter-on-quarter increase in watch time. Loaded, with a talented roster (also the smallest by far among these four), enjoyed a relatively sedate jump of 8% to reach 74.22 million HW between April and June 2025. Online stars like Jaryd "Summit1g" Lazar, Saqib "LIRIK" Ali, and Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek played big roles, finishing among its top streamers by HW.
Mythic Talent continued to be the undisputed name when looking at the most-watched Twitch team in Q2 2025, helped by a roster size totaling 121, one of the largest on the purple platform. Apart from the IRL category, its content creators, which include popular names like Zackrawrr, Case "Caseoh" Baker, Shylily, Chance "Sodapoppin" Morris, and Filian, streamed games in the action RPG and MOBA genres.
GG Talent Group was the only other Twitch team to hit 50 million HW, just about sneaking past that landmark for Q2 2025. Its roster has mostly European creators like Elias "Elajjaz" Lönn, Sebastian "Forsen" Fors, and Insym, all of whom were among its top names in this period by HW.
Yume Talent remains an outlier here, almost solely reliant on one name to bring in most of its viewership numbers. The UK-based talent management agency made the top ten for a second straight time on the back of Marc "Caedrel" Lamont's incredible fame and consistency. The star British creator put up over 93% of the Twitch teams' cumulative watch time as he busied himself with the various League of Legends events happening worldwide.
FOKUS and 1UP were the other Twitch teams to see green on their QoQ watch time, with the former being the only one to see its increment reach double figures. Like Yume Talent, FOKUS relied heavily on the popularity of Elias "Eliasn97" Nerlich to pull in audiences. The German EA FC sensation racked up just over 20 million HW in Q2 2025, which made up almost 88% of the roster's total output.
1UP, another German-exclusive talent network, rounded off the top ten by just about managing to pass 19 million HW. Its biggest name is Erik "GRONKH" Range, one of the oldest and most well-known Twitch streamers from the powerhouse European nation. He contributed just under half of the roster's HW output in the second quarter, with most of the members sticking to livestreaming in the IRL segment, including Just Chatting and Special Events.
There were also Twitch Ambassadors and aNc Media, who saw negligible falls in their QoQ watch times but retained their top ten positions. The biggest dip in Q2 came for ZETA DIVISION, the Japanese organization that boasts local talents like K4sen and Yuta "Stylishnoob4" Seki. Most of these top creators reduced their activity in this period, resulting in a substantial HW decrease of 33% for the roster.
Most watched Twitch talent agencies in Q2 2025
When looking at talent agencies, VShojo remained the one roster of VTubers that reached the top ten despite a small team containing just 16 streamers. SIDEQUEST, with a decline of 22% in its HW figures, fell two places from its Q1 2025 rankings to ninth. The Russian team Gamers Club reentered the top ten after posting 11.73 million HW, most of which came from broadcasts in the Just Chatting segment.
Most watched Twitch esports organizations in Q2 2025
The data in this section represents only the overall watch time of Twitch streamers representing esports organizations for the selected period. No esports teams' viewership has been counted, including stats of pre-recorded content (YouTube/TikTok).
Team Liquid, which made the overall table in Q1 this year, fell a spot to third among esports organizations after suffering a 38% tumble in its watch time. The other popular Twitch teams to make this top ten were TSM, 100 Thieves, Sentinels, and FaZe, all American companies. FaZe Clan was one of the big movers, seeing a spike of 49% in its HW numbers thanks to its members putting in more time on Call of Duty games and the Just Chatting segment.
Like in the first quarter, all three of Karmine Corp, Movistar KOI, and Gentle Mates entered the top ten. However, the trio saw declines in their watch times as their owners — Kamel "Kameto" Kebir, Ibai "Ibai" Llanos, and Corentin "Gotaga" Houssein — and members were a lot less active, especially when it came to covering esports tournaments. Nevertheless, their presence is enough to fuel Twitch's continued popularity within the Spanish and French-speaking demographics in Europe.
