Top Twitch Games for August 2014

The last month of Summer 2014 saw 60 million users take their eyeballs to the games on Twitch. 60 Million! And what did they watch?

League of Legends remains on top of the mountain without a Challenger. After the smoke cleared at gamescom 2014, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive had knifed it’s way to #2. Hearthstone continues to smolder with Naxxramas questing and a budding esports career.

As for the biggest movers, Arma III threw it’s hat into the minutes-watched Battle Royale and jumped up 7 slots. Diablo III: Reaper of Souls saw the biggest move leaping 8 spots with the release of the Ultimate Evil edition.

Without further ado (and puns), we present the Top 20.
