Ninja officially returns to Twitch streaming after Mixer shutdown Ninja[jwplayer 91I9RIGm]Ninja is back on Twitch. After months with Mixer, to months of non-exclusivity, the biggest streamer in the world is making his exclusive return to the website where he gained his fame. Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins got paid millions to leave Twitch and stream exclusively on Mixer. Months later, Mixer folded and Ninja was left without a home for his content. The ever-popular streamer and global gaming ambassador proceeded to take his time and evaluate his options, streaming on YouTube one day and Twitch on another. But finally, fans have their answer: the blue-haired head-clicker is back on Twitch. Ninja streamed on Mixer for a little under a year, signing in August 2019 and getting bought out of his contract in June 2020 as the site folded. Since then, he\u2019s continued to be a prominent figure in the community with gigantic branding deals, but streamed very rarely. In July, he tried out an impromptu YouTube stream, his first live session since the buyout. In August, he tested out a surprise Twitch stream.

When is Ninja\u2019s first Twitch stream back? Ninja has confirmed this \u201cnew chapter\u201d on Twitch will begin at 2pm CT \/ 3pm ET \/ 8pm BST on September 10. First stream back starts at 2 central. Gifting 100 subs every 30 minutes until then.

The difference between his follower count and second-best, Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney\u2019s 9 million, is about the difference between Tfue and the 17th-most-followed account. That perfectly exemplifies how popular Ninja has continued to be on Twitch, despite being completely absent. For context, Michael \u2018Shroud\u2019 Grzesiek was also paid millions to leave Twitch for Mixer and just recently made his return to the platform. Now, Shroud is Twitch\u2019s fastest-growing streamer and his follower count has risen into the top three, as he sits with about 8 million. Back in June, it was reported that Shroud\u2019s Mixer contract buyout got him about $10 million and Ninja\u2019s\u2026in the hefty $30 million range. The streamers are obviously held in very high regard and one should not be surprised that negotiations with Twitch lasted this long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
