Shroud doesn’t believe there is such a thing as killing off Twitch, despite the recent hits.

“Yeah when there is a transition and somebody moves to another platform some follow and some stay,” Shroud explained during a recent stream (h/t DOTEsports). “I don’t think there is such a thing as killing Twitch, I mean… Twitch is so big.”

Shroud then went on to compare the Twitch model to YoutTube, and did elude to a potential competitor coming down the road. But he explained his belief that even new competition won’t kill off Amazon’s streaming platform.

One of the ways someone can do that is by raiding another channel, which will send all the viewers from one channel that is about to sign off, to another channel which is live. It’s a proven way to build branding and introduce viewers to another streamer.

Shroud attempted to do a raid on another streamer but was denied by Twitch because he simply had too many viewers.

“Sorry, you have more viewers than the maximum currently supported by raids right now” Shroud read for his audience. “I can’t raid anybody, so, you guys can go to either of these people,” Shroud said.

“I guess I’m just too famous. Suffering from success, you know. Story of my life.”

The incident took place during a Twitch Rivals tournament during GlitchCon, which was initially reported over the past weekend by Dot Esports.

xQc’s team was able to stream-snipe their way to a victory over the team of DrLupo, Shroud, and Tyler1, which eliminated them from the tournament. You can check out a clip from the TOS violation right here, courtesy of Shroud.

Twitch Rivals issued the following, according to PC Gamer:  “/xQcOW’s actions during the tiebreaker of the Fall Guys Match on November 14, 2020 violated the Official Tournament Code of Conduct and Game Play Rules found in Section 7 of the Official Tournament Rules,” Twitch Rivals ruled. “As a result and effective immediately, /xQcOW will (I) receive a six-month ban from Twitch Rivals and (ii) will forfeit prize winnings from the GlitchCon event.

At GlitchCon our player conduct rules were violated. We require all participants to abide by the same rules in order to play in a tournament. As a result, xQc has been issued a temporary Twitch account suspension, a temporary Twitch Rivals ban & forfeited associated prize money. pic.twitter.com/SA8umOdS9E

“Fall Guys is going to die real quick, for sure,” Shroud said during one of his recent Twitch streams. “After playing it, there is no way it will be any more exciting for any longer.”

However, Shroud believes that there is one way they can prevent his predicted downfall.

“Unless they add maps quickly” he said.

The developers behind Fall Guys have been planning some new levels to the game, and dataminers (such as @uguuCyuubi) provided a potential glimpse at to some upcoming game modes.

Here’s an early look at the some upcoming game modes that were found by @uguuCyuubi.

However, since the shutdown of Mixer Shroud had been looking for a new streaming home and it appears that although he ultimately landed on Twitch, YouTube was an option he was considering.

“Well, obviously, Twitch is the best, right? Duh” Shroud said about the decision to land back on Twitch.

“Born and raised on this platform” Shroud explained. “And two – It’s just the biggest and it’s all about gaming…and I have some plans, let me tell you, I got some plans.. including gaming.”

Shroud’s audience had to wait a bit longer than anticipated, as a ‘Starting soon’ message stayed up until the popular streamer went live around 2:50pm EST.

His stream saw viewer numbers continue to rise as he played Valorant, maintaining between about 400,000 and 475,000 active viewers while playing the Riot Games’ tactical shooter.

“I don’t know why there are so many of you here, but I appreciate it,” Shroud said during the stream (h/t Polygon). “I’m just a normal dude who likes to play games a lot. It’s crazy, man. Crazy.”

While length and financial details regarding the deal have not yet been disclosed, it is likely to be a lucrative deal for one of the most popular twitch streamers, who built over 7 million followers on his Twitch channel before moving to Mixer in 2019.

“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,” Grzesiek said in a statement (h/t The Washington Post).

Shroud also added that his re-launched Twitch channel would be with a new logo, and look.

“There’s nothing better than a homecoming, so we’re thrilled to welcome Shroud and his incredible community back to Twitch,” Michael Aragon, SVP of Content at Twitch said in the statement.
