Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek is the latest Twitch megastar to abandon the Amazon-owned streaming service in favor of
Microsoft's Mixer platform.
Grzesiek, a former professional
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player, made his announcement on Twitter today. His first stream is today at 8pm ET. He jokes in the announcement video that he's "making moves," following in the same footsteps as another popular streamer, Ninja.
Tyler "Ninja" Blevins
left his home on Twitch in August to stream exclusively on Mixer earlier this year, and shook the streaming industry to its core. Both Grzesiek and Blevins are two of the gaming world's most watched streamers, and both came up through Twitch after retiring from professional play. (Ninja was a former
Halo pro before transitioning to battle royale games.) Blevins commented on Grzesiek's move
on Twitter, calling it a "massive move for the platform and the streaming industry."
