Shroud announces Twitch return date and unveils new logo Logitech \/ shroudStreaming star Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek announced that he\u2019s moving back to Twitch after Microsoft shut down Mixer to merge with Facebook Gaming, all while unveiling his new branding and logo. On June 22, Microsoft made the unexpected announcement that they are shutting down Mixer. The major tech company had previously tried to strengthen its streaming service by signing major exclusivity deals with Twitch stars such as Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins and shroud in 2019. Following the decision, shroud revealed that he\u2019s planning to stream on Twitch once again. The personality is going to be welcomed by the huge following he\u2019s made in the first-person shooter genre, with his skills earning him the longtime nickname, \u201chuman aimbot.\u201d Shroud moves back to Twitch Shortly after Microsoft made the announcement that they are merging with Facebook Gaming for streaming, reports revealed that the company had bought out shroud\u2019s contract, making him a free agent. The popular FPS player followed that up with a series of teasers before finally dropping the huge news on August 11 that\u2019s he\u2019s returning to Twitch, the platform he called home for years before his surprise move to Mixer in 2020. I\u2019m coming homehttps:\/\/t.co\/0nsby7MTHi pic.twitter.com\/6qO2E4m4jy \u2014 Michael Grzesiek (@shroud) August 11, 2020 The video not only reveals the huge news but also unveils shroud\u2019s new logo and branding, which features his name next to a reticle with an arrow pointing at it. When is Shroud streaming on Twitch? Shortly after the announcement, shroud also revealed that he\u2019ll be kicking off his first Twitch stream back on Wednesday, August 12 at 11 AM PT \/ 2 PM ET. What\u2019s more, the former CSGO pro is already partnered again on Twitch, meaning he\u2019ll have his subscriber button ready to go for the hundreds of thousands of viewers that are expected to show up in his first few return broadcasts. His Twitch partnership was revoked, of course, following the move to Mixer, but now it\u2019s been reinstated, which means he won\u2019t be able to stream anywhere else, unlike fellow star Ninja, who also was on Mixer and is now allowed to broadcast on whatever platform he chooses, without exclusivity. Shroud\u2019s decision to return to Twitch was probably an easy one, as at the time of writing his channel has over 7.1 million followers and will be one of the platform\u2019s faces again upon his return. Viewers will no doubt be eager to watch the star show his mindblowing FPS skill and prove, again, that he\u2019s the Human Aimbot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
