Nepenthez becomes first big Mixer streamer to return to Twitch Nepenthez\/Twitch\/MixerCraig \u2018Nepenthez\u2019 Douglas, one of the biggest streamers on Mixer and a household name within the FIFA community, has become the first big streamer to leave Microsoft\u2019s platform and return to Twitch. In August 2019, Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins shook the streaming world by leaving Twitch and switching over to Mixer, but now the reverse is happening as Nep has revealed that he will no longer be streaming on the platform. Douglas first started broadcasting on Mixer in March 2019, a few months before the likes of Ninja and Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek switched over, but has now revealed why his time with them has come to an end. In a statement made on April 30, Nepenthez shared that his time with the platform had expired that day after \u201can amazing 13 months.\u201d He went on: \u201cI\u2019m sad we couldn\u2019t reach an agreement to extend my term there. I\u2019m super grateful for the support you guys gave me over there, and can\u2019t wait to get right into the next chapter on Twitch for the foreseeable future.\u201d He doesn\u2019t go into specifics as to why the two parties couldn\u2019t reach an agreement, but it seems as though he isn\u2019t too happy to be leaving Mixer. Just so you guys are fully aware and in the loop, My time with @WatchMixer expires today. It\u2019s been an amazing 13 months and I\u2019m sad we couldn\u2019t reach an agreement to extend my term there. I\u2019m super grateful for the support you guys gave me over there, and can\u2019t wait to get \u2014 NepentheZ (@NepentheZ) April 30, 2020 Across other platforms and social media, Nepenthez has almost 1 million followers on Twitter and 2.2m on YouTube, so he clearly has the capacity to reel in viewers \u2013 so it\u2019ll have to be seen whether he sees more success on Twitch. It\u2019s unlikely we see the likes of Ninja and shroud moving away from Mixer in the near future, especially considering they probably received some pretty hefty contracts to make the switch, and Nep seemed to be happy there based on his sadness that they couldn\u2019t come to an arrangement to elongate his stay. Douglas\u2019 first Twitch stream will be today, May 1, at around 2pm BST, so it will be interesting to see what he says about the move, or if he speaks on it at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
