Auronplay (Raúl Álvarez Genes) and ibai (Ibai Llanos) are the only individual streamers to feature in the overall top-10, which is other dominated by esports channels and events, and topped by the annual Game Awards, which take place in December and were watched by an average 157,357 concurrent viewers.
Indeed, if we use average concurrent viewers as our measure, we can see that Mixer lags some distance behind both YouTube Gaming Live (with stats for the latter measured only from 2019, as YouTube game streaming was brought back into the main app) and Twitch, with a mere 38,000 average concurrent viewers as of Q4 2019.
