This year Fortnite lost the title of the most popular game on Twitch to League of Legends. For the entire 2019, the hours of views of the Epic Games title decreased by 28%.
This data was provided by the tracking service Arsenal.gg . According to estimates, in the outgoing year, Twitch users watched Fortnite broadcasts for 884 million hours. League of Legends has a result of 990 million hours.
Last year, Fortnite managed to displace League of Legends from the top line, which it occupied for seven years, VentureBeat reports. However, the popularity of “battle royale” on Twitch has steadily declined over the past 12 months.
