Shroud was one of many high-profile streamers who jumped ship from Twitch in the fall of 2019, primarily to sign exclusive deals with Microsoft’s rival streaming platform, Mixer. He was one of the most prominent names on the list, next to Tyler “Ninja” Blevins.
Microsoft shuts down Mixer in July, less than a year after signing several multimillion-dollar deals with streamers. This song has Shroud, Ninja and other big names in the news, and it’s been a wait to see where they all land. Facebook Gaming offered reported both Shroud and Ninja “almost double” the value of their Mixer contracts, although they both refused early on, according to lawyer esports Rod Breslau. He said Shroud’s Mixer contract was worth $ 10 million, while Ninja’s received $ 30 million.
Ninja has not yet announced any concrete plans, but he launched his Twitch channel in early August and he streamed it on YouTube in July. Ninja has 15 million followers on Twitch and 24 million subscribers on YouTube.
