Read on for previous month's SC2 streaming statistics!

Highlights

The last month of 2018 was not particularly interesting - the top streamer list is mostly filled with the usual suspects.
Event-wise, most big tournaments or series were on a break over the winter, so we see some end-of-year-themed events pop up and score quite decently, with Sleigh Them All taking this month's top spot.
Curiously, this December actually scored worse than December 2018; perhaps because last year's december had a few more high-profile events in it.
Overall though, 2018 was a good year, and (mostly) consistently drew more viewers than 2017. Not bad for an 8-year old game! Let's see what 2019 has in store...
As always, suggestions and requests are welcome!

Huh? What's this?
I run Fuzic - which collects statistics and rankings of StarCraft II live streams - and these threads are a summary of the viewer numbers for the past month.

Data is sourced from fuzic, and additional up-to-date stats may be found there. But in these threads - which I will try to post at the beginning of every month - there will be a monthly summary so you can get a quick overview of that month's viewer numbers.

Inclusion criteria
The rankings list any stream that is reported on by the APIs of the various streaming services (Twitch, Azubu, etc). I have no way of verifying to what extent someone's viewers are legitimate, and therefore will not independently ban someone from the rankings. Please do not start a(nother) discussion about this in this thread.

The lists
"VxH", or "hours viewed" is the average amount of viewers multiplied by the amount of hours the streamer has streamed during that month. Basically, if for each viewer you count the amount of hours they watched the stream during the month, and add them up, you get this number. The list is sorted by this metric, as it gives a good impression of the streamer's activity through the month.

You can click the links below the charts for additional stats and a list you can sort by whichever metric you prefer.
