Last year, noted man with divine purpose Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek was among a handful of top Twitch stars who shocked viewers by away from the Amazon-owned platform for Microsoft’s Mixer. In June of this year, Mixer died suddenly. Now, after a few months of silence, Grzesiek is returning to Twitch.
Grzesiek has been plaguing Twitter for the past few weeks, which got in the way an announcement trailer today.
“I’m coming home,” he wrote, and also posted a link to his Twitch channel.
According to a press release received by Kotaku, Grzesiek has struck an exclusive deal with the platform. The terms of the deal are not public, but it is probably very lucrative. For the sake of comparison, sources told Kotaku earlier this year that while Mixer Grzesiek did not pay as much as Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, who was said to have made somewhere near $ 20 million a year, he was in a similar ballpark, and also drew millions a year .
Blevins, who started the trend of streamers with big names moving to Mixer, has yet to announce his new home. In July, he did so a test stream on YouTube, which peaked at more than 160,000 viewers simultaneously. Last week he visited a similarity experiment on Twitch. Wherever he ends up, he’s likely to sign an exclusive deal as well.
For now, however, Twitch has one of its biggest stars back. Grzesiek has not yet announced the exact timing of his return stream, but according to the press release, it will take place ‘very soon’.
