Heart of the Swarm climbs two spots and makes it to top three of most watched games on Twitch.tv, but loses the race to the MOBA leaders.
Seeing a Heart of the Swarm so high up the rankings isn't really a big surprise. StarCraft's new expansion was accepted exceptionally well within the community, with MLG Winter Championship (the first premier tournament after game's release) scoring cumulative six figures stream viewership. By climbing one more place (combined with the two-place climb in February), HotS is officially the third most popular game on Twitch.tv, ousting World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria.
Meanwhile, the two MOBA giants League of Legends and Dota 2, respectively, continue to hold the first two spots. Dota's climbed to its current position in January and has been holding its place since, while League of Legends sits firmly on #1 since the first ever Twitch.tv report in December 2012.
