With many esports seasons ending or coming to an end, official accounts of competitive games continued to hold sway when it came to the most-watched channels of YouTube Gaming in September 2024. Continuing its prevalence on the platform, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang had multiple entries in the top ten leaderboard, with League of Legends only having one entry after a great recent run. A few VTubers also found places on the table, doubling the community's presence from the August rankings.
Top YouTube Gaming Channels in September 2024
Most watched and most popular YouTube Gaming channels in September 2024
The official MPL Indonesia channel was the top name last month regarding overall watch time, with 12.33M Hours Watched. This was a rise of 17% from its August numbers, helped by the fact that the Regular Season of Season 14 of the event is reaching its end game. With the action heating up, as only the top six make the Playoffs, and RRQ Hoshi putting in some good performances, the already solid viewership numbers can be expected to challenge the series record once the Playoffs begin.
Next comes record-breaker IShowSpeed, whose tour of Southeast Asia was highly lucrative. It helped him set two impressive records in September: surpassing his personal best twice and becoming the most popular English-speaking streamer in the world across all platforms. With so much travel in his itinerary, his monthly watch time witnessed a spike of 47%, which also put him among the ten most watched overall streamers last month.
The KRAFTON INDIA ESPORTS official channel rounds off the podium thanks to the Battlegrounds Mobile India Pro Series 2024. The Hindi broadcast of this Battlegrounds Mobile India event from the last day of the Grand Finals on September 29 was easily the channel's most successful live stream ever, doing 48.8% better than any other offering by watch time.
LCK's official YouTube channel ended in fourth for September with 6.79M HW. That it finished in the top five despite being on air for only the first eight days of the month speaks volumes of the event's popularity among online spectators and fans of the game globally. A surprise winner in the form of Hanwha Life Esports helped break T1 and Gen.G Esports's recent dominance, adding to the event's viewership success.
Fifth is the official dota2 channel, which was busy with the game's premier tournament, The International 2024. Again, it ran for around 12 days but made it to this list, showing that despite recent troubles, the competition remains popular among die-hard fans of Dota 2. There were quite a few talking points, with a couple of noteworthy ones being the community casters from Southeast Asia and the reduction in the overall number of broadcasting channels.
The bottom five entries on this top ten table are almost full of names from the August rankings who maintained their spots in the latest rankings. The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Indonesia channel, live streaming the MPL Indonesia Season 14, stayed in sixth place, with Liên Quân Mobile eSports-Garena, the official esports channel for the Vietnamese version of Arena of Valor, falling two positions to seventh despite continuing to cover the country's top professional league, the Arena of Glory Winter 2024.
There's also set1awanade, the beloved Indonesian MLBB creator, who jumped up a spot to eighth, while Kuzuha Channel dropped two places to ninth. The last name is the second VTuber to find a place here, with Miko Ch. jumping on the VCR's Minecraft server bandwagon to accrue 3.61M HW and finish tenth.
Top YouTube Gaming US/Canada Streamers in September 2024
The top creator from these two North American nations (not counting the already mentioned IShowSpeed) is Ludwig. Having finished third in August, he jumped up a spot after witnessing an increment of 66% in his MoM watch time. He continued to play a lot of the upcoming platform fighting video game, Rivals 2, which his company Offbrand Games is collaborating with Aether Studios to publish.
Third is the DrDisRespect, who seemingly remains highly sought after despite recent controversies. Having been caught in allegations of grooming a minor in June, he took a break from live broadcasting before returning in early September. While most of his peers were unhappy with this move, fans seemed to welcome the move, as seen from the fact that he was able to accumulate 1.97M HW last month.
Typical Gamer, the prominent Fortnite creator, comes next, with most of his time last month spent playing the game's new update that landed on September 4. He was not the only creator of the legendary builder-shooter to place on this list, with fellow Canadian Nick Eh 30 finishing in eighth. Both have given a lot of coverage to Chapter 5 Season 4, which is special as it has a Marvel crossover that brought along a wealth of new additions that fans have enjoyed to the fullest.
Valkyrae rounds off the top five as the only female representative here, with her game of choice last month being Valorant. She also returned to these rankings after last popping up in June's lists, with her nostalgia fuelling Among Us gaming sessions with the likes of Miyoung, Sykkuno, Etoiles, and Fuslie playing a major role in the growth of 94% in her monthly watch time.
DrLupo is sixth thanks to spending a lot of September grinding Escape from Tarkov, helping him climb up by three places from the August rankings. He is followed by Call of Duty Black Ops content creator TimTheTatman, who also fell by three spots this time after seeing a decrease of 26% in his MoM watch time.
Valorant streamer TenZ is ninth after recording 457.2K HW, with the revelation of his decision to step away from the competitive scene sending shockwaves across the industry. Last but not least is KreekCraft, the Roblox star who continues to showcase the gaming platform to millions of viewers worldwide, aiding in retaining his place on the top ten rankings like these.
Top YouTube Gaming Hispanic Streamers in September 2024
DjMaRiiO tops the list of Hispanic content creators by watch time for September after notching 1.52M HW. Most of his airtime came playing EA Sports FC 25, the latest release in the football simulation games series by Electronic Arts that enjoyed quite the opening day on September 27. It was a hit during its early access phase as well (between September 20 and 26), ending within the top five tables for the most-watched and most popular games on Twitch during this phase.
He is followed by another highly touted name in the Spanish-speaking community in the form of Nexxuz World. The August topper, who busied himself with ARK Survival Ascended last month, could not maintain his numero uno position despite a rise of 32% in his monthly watch time as DjMaRiiO ended up raising his HW number by a whopping 452%.
Third is Trebor, who also lost a position compared to August although his MoM watch time increased by 10%, with his content continuing to revolve around Brawl Stars. He is succeeded by two Garena Free Fire stars in Spain's 6ixmox FF and Antronixx G from Mexico, with both their content revolving around climbing up the battle royale shooters ranks, playing multiplayer with friends, and undertaking various challenges in the title.
The Dominican Republic's RDjavi follows with 180K HW, thanks to broadcasting a lot of GTA V and its RP servers. VEGETTA777 is seventh, falling by four places after seeing a decline of 40% in his monthly watch time even as he continued to stream a lot of Black Myth: Wukong.
The last three spots are taken up Nacho AoE, Bobicraft, and Taison TV, with two of them retaining their spots from August. Their favored games were from a diverse pool, including shooter, strategy, and building games like Minecraft, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition.
Top YouTube Gaming Asian Streamers in September 2024
Among Asian influencers, the top name by watch time last month among those not already discussed is Pekora Ch. She is one of the three VTubers here alongside Miko Ch. and Fubuki Ch., with their gaming content mostly revolving around playthroughs of video games like Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto V, TCG Card Shop Simulator, and Captain Tsubasa: Rise of Nw Champions.
There are also two renowned Indonesian MLBB creators on this top ten leaderboard, both keenly following the MPL action, especially in their home country. Both R7 Tatsumaki and XINNN are former pros in the massively popular smartphone MOBA, and their content, be it broadcasting tournaments or playing the title themselves as they look to climb the ranks, attracts millions of viewers.
India's LoLzZz Gaming also continued his streak of making the monthly Asian rankings, this time finishing seventh thanks to covering the action across various BGMI competitions. The last name is Cr7 HORAA, with the fast-rising Nepalese creator founding and co-owning the landlocked country's popular esports organization, Horaa Esports.
Top YouTube Gaming Esports Organization Channels in September 2024
We have already discussed many top esports organizations as part of the overall September table, so the first fresh name is ESL Counter-Strike in the seventh spot. The organizer's official channel of all events from the shooter was busy covering the ESL Pro League Season 20, which ran for around three weeks last month and ended with Natus Vincere emerging as the champion.
There is another official CS2 channel here, with the BLAST Premier ensconced in the tenth position. The Danish organizer conducted the BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024, which made it to this top ten list despite running for just five days after achieving record-breaking viewership as G2 Esports beat NAVI in the Grand Final.
Eighth is the official Vietnamese channel of the LCK, which continues to be the biggest regional event in the game by popularity and audience reach. The final entry is Garena RoV Thailand, the official channel for Arena of Valor in the SEA nation that live-streamed the ongoing RoV Pro League 2024 Winter. It will end on October 20 and decide the country's representative at the Arena of Valor International Championship 2024.
