These days, the game is lucky to crack a couple hundred viewers. In March 2019, Auto Chess attracted peak viewership of over 60,000 and average viewership of over 20,000. Though undoubtedly more popular on mobile and overseas markets than on Twitch, it’s also worth taking stock of the how the popularity of the standalone version of Auto-Chess (made by the team behind the original mod) has also declined on Twitch over time. Though likely padded out by the popularity of Hearthstone’s core audience and subject to a shorter time-frame, the Twitch trends here could be seen to suggest that Blizzard have done a better job of holding onto the audience for Battlegrounds than the competition. In January 2020, Hearthstone hit an average viewership of 28,000 and a peak viewership of 61,000. For our first impressions of Battlegrounds, click here.
Once the new mode is announced and subsequently moves into open beta, those numbers improve significantly. Prior to the announcement of Battlegrounds at Blizzcon 2019, average daily viewership for Hearthstone floated between 10,000 and 20,000.

It’s a little more difficult to discern the popularity of Hearthstone Battlegrounds, since streamers playing the mode are bundled in with those playing regular Hearthstone. The company has not disclosed any numbers or statistics around the game since then. In September 2019, Riot said TeamFight Tactics had a monthly active player base of 33 million.

In January 2020, TeamFight Tactics had around 12,000 average viewers and a peak of 26,000 viewers. July 2019 represented a high-point in the popularity of Riot’s entry in the Auto-Chess arms-race with 350,000 peak viewers and 180,000 average viewers. The SullyGnome statistics for TeamFight Tactics tell a similar story at a greater magnitude.
