Twitch star\u2019s \u201cbig announcement\u201d tease sparks rumors Twitter: NFLOne of Twitch\u2019s biggest streamers Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff recently took a break from streaming, leaving fans awaiting the return of their favorite creator. Though, he might not be coming back to the same platform, after teasing a \u201cbig announcement.\u201d With the strong support of the immense #MFAM, NICKMERCS is one of the biggest creators on Twitch, garnering over 6.2M followers on the platform. The last time we saw Nick streaming was on September 23, close to two weeks ago at the time of writing, and fans are heavily anticipating his return. With rumors of signing the biggest deal of his career, and his peers signing exclusivity deals with YouTube, NICKMERCS\u2019 return will undoubtedly make a bang. Currently, there\u2019s no indication of when Nick will return to streaming. The last we heard from the streamer was on September 30, when he revealed that there\u2019s a big announcement on the way, but he\u2019s taking some more time before returning. Since the tweet, it\u2019s been radio silent on social media, but as two weeks from his last stream is coming up on October 7, it could be a reasonably good time to return. Is NICKMERCS going to YouTube? Going back to 2019, many of Twitch\u2019s biggest streamers were offered multi-million deals just to simply bring their content to another platform. With YouTube, Mixer, and Facebook all in a race to compete with Twitch, it was a hectic time in the streaming world, and it was dubbed as the \u201cstreaming platform war.\u201d Of course, the most prominent deal is Ninja heading to Mixer for $30M, but we cannot forget about the other streamers. In October 2019, TimTheTatman, DrLupo, and NICKMERCS signed exclusive deals to Twitch for undisclosed amounts. Was caught up in everything TwitchCon &#038; forgot to say THANK YOU to you all, for making this possible. I&#8217;m very proud of this community we&#8217;ve built on Twitch over the years. The MFAM is truly something different &#038; I\u2019m very excited for what\u2019s to come. https:\/\/t.co\/E2r6xfzO7P \u2014 FaZe Nickmercs (@NICKMERCS) October 1, 2019 Two years later, DrLupo and TimTheTatman have packed their bags, now signing to YouTube, leaving all eyes are on NICKMERCS to make his move. Supposedly, Nick has secured the biggest deal of his career, and fans are speculating the next step is heading to YouTube. With the three creators signing their deals around the same time, Nick\u2019s contract may also be up, meaning a switch to YouTube could be on the cards but obviously, it\u2019s just speculation at this point. Alive &#038; well familia. Miss ya too. Soon tho, real soon! Big announcement. Takin\u2019 a lil time for myself before we get back to the grind \ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffc \u2014 FaZe Nickmercs (@NICKMERCS) September 30, 2021 The future of his streaming is unknown, leaving us all speculating, but no matter which platform NICKMERCS continues to stream on going forward, it won\u2019t stop the passionate MFAM from supporting him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is NICKMERCS moving to YouTube?
