Soleil “Ewok” Wheeler has signed an exclusive streaming deal with Twitch, marking her return to the platform after streaming on Mixer. Her Twitch stream was set to begin Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
“I decided to go back to Twitch because the platform has a large network, and I had already set up a community there before I switched to Mixer,” Ewok told ESPN. “It’s also the best platform for me to build my brand. I also miss Twitch Rivals and meet people who have supported me since day one.”
Ewok was among the top-level streamers who signed exclusively with Mixer in 2019, including Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek. Since Mixer closed in June, Shroud has returned to streaming exclusively on Twitch, while Ninja has yet to publicly announce its next streaming move.
