Community casting of The International 10 — most popular streamers
Besides official studio casting, tournaments of The International series are covered by streamers, including pro players, as well as commentators and analysts who didn’t get invites by Valve. 10th Anniversary TI was also streamed by a great variety of content creators, and many of them set new viewership records on their channels. Esports Charts breaks down the most popular community casters of The International 10.
As we noted in a detailed review of TI10, Russian and English coverage of TI together gathered over 80% from the total number of Hours Watched of the tournament. Most watched community casters also streamed the event in these languages.
English language has outperformed Russian in terms of total number of Hours Watched, this includes the official broadcasts on these languages (37.7M vs 29.5M Hours Watched). However, it’s different for community casting: English-speaking streamers only brought 15.3% in total by language, but it’s 28.7% for Russian-speaking ones!
Russian community casters collected over 11.8M Hours Watched, whether their English-speaking counterparts had 6.8M, which is 43% less. Such a big difference is no surprise as it’s CIS team that reached the Grand Final, and there are a lot more prominent Dota 2 streamers in CIS, compared to EU or NA.
Most popular English-speaking community casters were not solely from Twitch, but also from YouTube and even Facebook! The most watched one was Janne Gorgc Stefanovski, who got 3M Hours Watched. His closest pursuer has two times less HW. The Swedish content creator, who analyzed the games with other famous Dota players (i.e., pieliedie, qojqva, etc) also became the leader by average audience with 26K Average Viewers tuning into his TI10 broadcasts. Also Stefanovski alone got 6.82% from the total HW of TI10 by English language.
Second place went to Kardel, YouTube content creator (1.6M Hours Watched). His Peak Viewers number reached 40.4K concurrent spectators, which tuned in to watch his broadcast on the final day of the event.
Third place went to Wehsing SingSing Yuen (943K Hours Watched). On average, 8.3K people were watching his TI broadcasts, and during the final day he reached 14.9K Peak Viewers, one of the biggest results for SingSing.
TEA EYE 3 champion Henrik AdmiralBulldog Ahnberg finished 4th by time viewers spent on the broadcasts (555K Hours Watched). He also outperformed SingSing in terms of Peak Viewers (18.3K).
Top 5 is rounded up by Mizrock Gaming channel, which was streaming TI10 on Facebook. During the final day it had up to 6.8K concurrent viewers, which is a record for the channel.
Former HellRaisers player Aleksandr Nix Levin is second most popular Russian-speaking community caster as he alone got over 1.5M Hours Watched. His channels also reached 45.7K Peak Viewers during the decisive game of the tournament.

Third and fourth places went to former NAVI player Bogdan Iceberg Vasylenko and famous Techies player Timur TpaBoMaH Khafizov, who got 805K and 716K Hours Watched respectively. Both have reached almost identical numbers by Peak Viewers: 14.3K vs 14.1K.
The last but not least in the top 5 is YouTube channel Аналитика Ошибок (Analysis of Mistakes) with 550K Hours Watched. Interestingly, it did better than Iceberg and TpaBoMaH in terms of Peak Viewers number: over 34K during the grand final.
