Shroud has become a household name in the world of streaming and he is back on Twitch since Mixer’s Demise.
Mixer’s short-lived lifespan saw many Streamers jump ship from Twitch last year, and among those returning to Twitch is none other than Michael “Shroud” Grzsesiek.
Shroud has now recently announced that he is “Coming Home”.
He also said in a statement: “I am so excited to be able to announce my return to Twitch and more importantly get back to streaming. Twitch is where I was able to first turn my passion for streaming into a successful career—and it is all due to my incredible and loyal fanbase.
“As I was exploring options, I realized that there was no better place than Twitch to engage with the best and most loyal gaming community worldwide. I am also excited to relaunch my channel with a new look and logo that I know my fans will love. I’m back, baby!”
Not only has Shroud announced his comeback but Twitch has also confirmed the return by stating that they are “thrilled to welcome Shroud and his incredible community back.”
In fact, Twitch’s senior vice president of content Michael Aragon said:
“Our mission is to bring people together every day, and we look forward to seeing the FPS legend back in action, exclusively on Twitch.”
The details of his return aren’t known as of yet but we are guessing he won’t be the last big name to return to Twitch.
In other Twitch news, Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm got permanently banned from Twitch (for unknown reasons) and has now returned to stream on YouTube without a contract. Meanwhile, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins showed face on Twitch recently but hasn’t confirmed a comeback just yet, he has hinted at an acting career being his next move.
Twitch has done really well since the start of the Pandemic and has grown a full 56% in terms of hours watched between the first quarter of this year and the second.
Shrouds return will undoubtedly bring these numbers up exponentially especially since he is now currently sitting on 7.1 million followers on Twitch.
This move surely took some careful consideration on Shrouds part and his fans are certainly looking forward to his big return. Stay tuned as we follow this story as it unfolds and of those others who have decided to return to the streaming platform.
