10 Popular Games that Twitch Helped Put on the Map

Smite

 A third person MOBA, Smite had a very rocky introduction when it was first released. When people heard that some company combined a MOBA with a third person perspective, many were very put off by the idea. However, with the ability to go on Twitch and watch live streams of the game, many viewers ended up at least playing the game, since it is free-to-play. Since its release, it has also garnered a popular competitive scene, with the prize pool of this year’s Smite World Championship having a prize pool of $1 million dollars.
