Hearthstone overtakes Dota 2 in Twitch’s most-watched games of September

Success is in the cards for Blizzard.

Game-streaming hub Twitch revealed a list of the 10 most-watched games on its site for September. League of Legends remained at the top with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive coming in at second, but Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft took the No. 4 spot from Dota 2, switching their positions from August. Interest in Dota 2 might have dropped off since its yearly championships, The International 2015, happened in August. Hearthstone released a new expansion, The Grand Tournament, in late August, which could have also contributed to it overtaking Dota 2 in September.
