NICKMERCS reveals reason behind Twitch streaming hiatus SCUF GamingPopular Twitch streamer Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff has revealed the reason he\u2019s taken a Twitch hiatus citing a \u201closs of balance\u201d in his life as one of the top names on the platform. Throughout 2020, Nick has become one of the biggest personalities on Twitch \u2013 in February, a report even suggested that he earns more on the platform than the likes of Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney and Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel. Though, as they say, money isn\u2019t everything, and this may be Nick\u2019s outlook as he announced that he will be taking a hiatus from streaming for one main reason. Naturally, this may come as somewhat of a shock to his many fans and subscribers, but his reasoning makes sense. In the tweet Nick posted announcing the news, he revealed that a \u201closs of balance\u201d was the reason for making this decision, and went into greater detail. \u201cTakin\u2019 a little hiatus from the stream game after back to back to back 200+ hour months,\u201d he said in the May 21 post. \u201cIn the gym again, workin\u2019 on my health, physical & mental. Also spendin\u2019 some much needed time with the family.\u201d Takin\u2019 a little hiatus from the stream game after back to back to back 200+ hour months. Lost the balance bros. In the gym again, workin\u2019 on my health, physical & mental. Also spendin\u2019 some much needed time with the family. I\u2019ll be live tomorrow, keep the balance. \ud83d\udc4a\ud83c\udffc \u2014 FaZe Nickmercs (@NICKMERCS) May 21, 2020 Though he reveals that he\u2019ll be live \u201ctomorrow\u201d (Friday, May 22) it\u2019s unclear whether it will just be for one of his regular streams or just a short stream after already taking a couple of days away from the platform. Consecutive months amassing over 200 hours on stream is no small task, so it\u2019s not a surprise that Nick might feel that he\u2019s overdoing it, especially during these troubling times. Nick isn\u2019t the first person to cut down their streaming schedule for similar reasons: for example, earlier in February 2020, HAchubby stopped streaming as much so as to focus on her education. Streaming full-time is a big commitment, and just like anyone else, sometimes our favorite personalities might just need a break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
