Only a few games relevant to esports made it into the top 10 in October, though some could argue that Among Us and Fall Guys had some connective tissue to teams and influencers who hosted events or generally mucked around in both games. However, Call of Duty was the No. 1 most talked about game for the month.

Most Popular Teams – #CDL2020

In order, Chicago Huntsmen, Atlanta FaZe, Dallas Empire, Minnesota R0KKER, and London Royal Ravens managed to make it into the Top 5 for October, driven by users from the U.S., U.K., Canada, France, and Japan. At least some of the buzz surrounding the Huntsmen can likely be attributed to stories about OpTic Gaming being bought by Hector Rodriguez, much to the delight of fans. The former CEO of OpTic left the organization in 2019 to join Huntsmen owner NRG Esports as its co-CEO. 

Most Popular Teams – #OWL2020

In order, San Francisco Shock, Paris Eternal, New York Excelsior, Dallas Fuel, and Philadelphia Fusion were the top 5 most talked about teams in OWL.
