Shroud explains why he already likes Mixer more than Twitch Popular streamer Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek has explained why he prefers his new streaming home, Microsoft\u2019s Mixer, over Twitch; the platform on which he grew to be the world\u2019s biggest streamer. On October 24, shroud surprised a number of his fans by announcing that he would no longer be streaming on Twitch, but would instead be joining Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins on Microsoft\u2019s streaming platform, Mixer. He has already streamed numerous times on Mixer, hitting incredible numbers on his first stream, where he peaked at 78,000 concurrent viewers while playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. This caused him to thank fans for their support and loyalty, as many followed him across the internet to his new streaming home. What an incredible first stream on @WatchMixer. Mind blown by the support of both mine and Mixers communities. You guys made this such an easy transition, excited for the future! > \u2014 Michael Grzesiek (@shroud) October 25, 2019 On October 26, the ex-CS:GO pro explained one aspect of Mixer he prefers to Twitch, despite the two being inherently similar. Asked by a viewer whether streaming on Mixer feels different, shroud responded: \u201cI mean, at the end of the day you\u2019re just streaming. All I do is I sit here and play games and I interact with you guys.\u201d Read More: Tyler1 reacts to shroud joining Mixer – \u201cSo long as you guys are there, which you are,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou guys are flying right now, then it\u2019s no different really. It\u2019s a different UI [user interface] and a different community vibe. I think the community vibe\u2019s much better here.\u201d Stating that the two are very similar from a streaming perspective, but that Mixer\u2019s community is better, shroud definitely seems to be preferring his new online home. \u201cBut who knows what\u2019ll happen in two years?\u201d he asked. Grzesiek went on to imply that as Mixer\u2019s community grows \u2013 which it inevitably will with stars such as himself and Blevins on the platform \u2013 there is the potential for more growth, but also more toxicity. \u201cI\u2019d like to see the growth of Mixer go up a lot,\u201d he finished. \u201cBut also keep the same community; that would be insane\u2026 as of right now, the Mixer community is fantastic. Like way, way better than I had expected.\u201d At the moment, shroud\u2019s Mixer audience will likely consist of fans that have followed him to the new streaming platform. Hence, they are less likely to be toxic to a creator they are supporting. However, Grzesiek clearly believes Mixer\u2019s community could become more toxic as it grows, and viewers begin to flock away from Twitch. A number of creators have complained in the past about the toxicity of Twitch chats and users, as the platform struggles to combat trolls and unwanted messages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
