100 Thieves\u2019 Valkyrae leaves Twitch to stream exclusively on YouTube Another one \u2013 100 Thieves star Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter has announced she\u2019s making the switch from Twitch to YouTube for all of her streams going forward, confirming a report from Rod \u2018Slasher\u2019 Breslau. The streaming war continues into 2020 as Valkyrae becomes the first big streamer to make the switch from Twitch to another platform. With this move, she joins fellow 100 Thieves streamer Jack \u2018CouRageJD\u2019 Dunlop on YouTube, who announced his switch back in 2019. According to Slasher, this will be a multi-year deal but is less than the $1 million per year other streamers have secured with their deals. while the terms for Valkyrae’s move to YouTube from for Twitch are significant, it is less than the $1 Million+ per year that other major streamers have received in their own deals, sources said \u2014 Rod Breslau (@Slasher) January 13, 2020 Valkyrae posted a short announcement video informing viewers of the switch, thanking them for their support so far, and also expressed her excitement. \u201cI\u2019m so excited to keep moving forward,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s time for the next chapter. Are you ready for something new?\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/Valkyrae\/status\/1216759009383874562 The timing for the platform move couldn\u2019t have come at a better time as the organization just moved into a new house. There will be a lot of hype surrounding her debut stream, and there\u2019s even a chance she had this planned the entire time. With news of the switch, it\u2019ll be interesting to keep an eye on who the next domino to fall will be. There are numerous 100 Thieves streamers who are still on Twitch, including The Mob, Nadeshot, Yassuo, and many others. Given Nadeshot\u2019s friendship with YouTube\u2019s Head of Gaming Ryan \u2018Fwiz\u2019 Wyatt, it\u2019s possible more 100 Thieves creators will be making a switch to YouTube. From December 2018 to 2019, every major streaming platform saw growth, with Facebook Gaming seeing the most explosive gain in streaming hours, according to StreamElements. Despite the bombshell moves of Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins and Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek to Microsoft\u2019s Mixer, YouTube Gaming is still firmly in the second spot in terms of hours watched as of late 2019. YouTube did lose their marquee Fortnite star NickEh30, but didn\u2019t miss a beat as they were able to get his replacement in CouRage and now Valkyrae. It\u2019s clear these moves have had an impact on the industry and it\u2019ll be exciting to keep an eye on moving forward as we wait to see what streamers continue to make moves. Valkyrae\u2019s first YouTube stream will take place on January 14. You will be able to tune in on her channel here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
