Mm, League has events maybe 20 or so weeks of the year (matches mainly on weekends), for probably 8 of those we see very high numbers. But Twitch also hosts other stuff - SC2, Hearthstone, and CS:GO also draw large crowds. Dota 2 also, but Valve does have their own streaming platform for that.



The numbers on valves own streaming platform for dota are usually 10% or less of the numbers on twitch for major events.

If you include people watching in the client itself it is a bit closer but still Twitch would be double or more.
