Shroud reveals his favorite part about leaving Twitch for Mixer During his November 7 stream, Michael \u2018shroud\u2018 Grzesiek revealed the best thing about joining Mixer, and also explained the main factor behind why he made the decision to leave Twitch. Following in the footsteps of Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2018 Blevins, shroud turned the streaming industry on its head when he announced that he had also signed an exclusive deal to stream on Microsoft\u2019s streaming platform Mixer on October 24. During his latest broadcast, the former CSGO pro teamed up with Benjamin \u2018DrLupo\u2018 Lupo, where the two discussed the reason why he decided to leave Twitch, and also revealed his favorite part about joining the new streaming platform. Shroud\u2019s \u201cfavorite\u201d part about Mixer The two streaming giants were talking about various topics, when DrLupo asked shroud how his transition to the Microsoft platform had been so far. \u201cIt\u2019s been good! No complaints!\u201d the human aimbot exclaimed. He then opened up further and explained that he likes the freedom the streaming platform brings. \u201cMy favorite part of being here is that I can play whatever the f*ck I want, and not have to feel so pressured to play the game that everyone wants me to play,\u201d he said. DrLupo agreed, before he talked about pressures creators feel all the time around having to please their audience. \u201cYou constantly in your head are like \u201cToday I\u2019m gonna lose a thousand subs!\u201d You\u2019re different, you\u2019ve always been one of the highest sub to channels,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it\u2019s still got to take a toll mentally. You feel like you owe people stuff. Now you\u2019re secure you can do whatever you want!\u201d Loving his new freedom, shroud replied, \u201cYeah, that\u2019s part of the reason I swapped too. Having that security of just knowing no matter what I play, I don\u2019t have to sit there and stress that \u201cOh sh*t my viewers went down, you know, 10 thousand, uh oh!\u201d While it\u2019s unclear how much money shroud made in the exclusive deal with the platform, it seems to have been extremely lucrative for the streamer, as the Mixer star no longer feels the constant pressure of having to please everyone and feels more secure. It seems to have paid off for him as a huge chunk of his Twitch audience has followed him to the Microsoft platform, and as of the time of this article he has over 740k followers, and his streams regularly pull in 15-20k viewers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
