Pokimane re-signs with Twitch as streaming war rages on Supplied \/ TwitchStreaming star Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys has committed herself to broadcasting on Twitch, signing a \u201cmulti-year deal to continue to stream exclusively on Twitch,\u201d silencing rumors she could have moved to Mixer. The streaming war between Twitch, Mixer, YouTube, and Facebook is still raging on. While other sites look to shake up Twitch\u2019s monopoly, the Amazon-owned platform won another battle by managing to secure Pokimane for years to come. The super-popular OfflineTV content creator has almost four million followers on the platform, and is one of the biggest personalities in all of streaming. Pokimane revealed that she was staying with Twitch on March 5, putting out a statement claiming that her community on the platform was her primary reason for staying put. \u201cThe community of streamers on Twitch, as well as the community I\u2019ve built around my channel, both mean so much to me,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to continue to make a lasting impact on the world of live streaming, and I truly believe there\u2019s no other place that has the infrastructure and tools that will allow me to do so.\u201d Not only does Pokimane have a reach of four million people on Twitch, she\u2019s also one of gaming\u2019s biggest personalities on other social media sites. She has a legion of fans on Twitter and Instagram, too, boasting 1.7 million and 4.6 million followers on both platforms, respectively. While she started out primarily as a League of Legends streamer, she\u2019s branched out into reaction content, as well as other games like Fortnite \u2014 where she has a personalized emote \u2014 and, more recently, CS:GO. Pokimane joins streamers like Benjamin \u2018DrLupo\u2019 Lupo, Tim \u2018TimTheTatman\u2019 Betar, and Saqib \u2018Lirik\u2019 Zahid staying on the platform as other sites like the Microsoft-owned Mixer, YouTube Gaming, and Facebook Gaming look to get in on the action. After Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins signed with Mixer back in August 2019, a host of streamers have shuffled around to other sites as platforms look to contest Twitch\u2019s monopoly on the streaming world. Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzemiek joined Ninja on Mixer, while Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop found himself on YouTube\u2019s books in November. Facebook hasn\u2019t missed out either, getting the likes of Jeremy \u2018DisguisedToast\u2019 Wang and Gonzalo \u2018ZeRo\u2019 Barrios going live on their platform. Despite many broadcasters opting for other platforms, it seems that Pokimane is going to stick by her supportive fanbase and remain on Twitch for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
