    If you clear out the area you come out with a mythic scar, purple pump, and infinite grapple 95% of the time and easy rotations out with the water and boat

    The Rig and Yacht are pointless to go to

    if you plan on being in party chat while streaming i believe everyone other than the one streaming will have to find the setting that allows their voice to be broadcast. im not sure where it is, probably share settings somewhere. point is, if you run into that specific problem now you know why.

    Moved my setup to my gf's house for now. Staying here for a few weeks so want to stream in my off time (which is almost everyday now lol).

    Come hang in the chat. Or at least drop a follow if you can. I'm a few follows away from 50 and that helps get me eligible for subs!

    Valorant (FPS) from riot games reached over 1 miilion viewers in twitch.

    They are paying streamers but that's nuts

    yes, reminds me that i didn't see an ad signifier on their streams

    surprised but guess riot made the argument it'd be mutually beneficial and seeing his numbers today it clearly was

    I wonder if they finagled the rules. They paid them to come test but aren't paying them to stream the game.

    perhaps riot knew the streamers would play it regardless therefore there was no need to pay them

    The whole watch a stream and enable cosmetic drop gimmick really helps boost numbers +/- bots

    I can't believe people made the move to Mixer. They must have paid the streams a huuuuuge amount, because their numbers are laughably bad. Ninja has 7k watching Valorant, shroud has 5.5k watching WoW. According to twitch, there are 1.6M watching Valorant streams. Tim has 110k, summit has 220k.

    Twitch's numbers have to be fake, right?

    Bots.

    Every single time a game tied item drops/beta keys/cosmetics to watching a twitch stream there’s a Huuuuuuuuuuuuge percentage of viewers that are just bots.

    drops go away and numbers die.

    twitch botting/faking numbers is something Riot has done for years, and Overwatch is notorious for

    Big part is bots like Ron said, but they paid them out the ass for sure, as well. Shroud and ninja leaving was a giant business risk, and the only way it made sense was a guaranteed salary for multiple years to where if it all went south they’d still be fine.

    imo shroud and ninja saw it as a golden parachute, even if their contracts end with mixer they've secured generational wealth and can just stream for fun and live life

    Ninja has gone back more towards his roots and gotten away from being so kid friendly. It’s made for a really funny and fun stream I’m comparison to what he had at Twitch. At least for most people above 16 he’s probably more enjoyable now that he’s not constantly censoring himself and having to be the good guy all the time.

    I think Mixer allowed him to stop having to be so kid friendly and Tbh that’s probably a good selling point to him. He drinks on stream a lot with friends now and just games and shit talks. He couldn’t do that before.

    if i'm seagull i'm drinking myself to sleep every night, guy was the god of overwatch for a period but stuck with pro league while shroud went from CS pro to I print money tier streamer in a year

    shroud is objectively a boring streamer

    he's kind of in his own tier, he crossed over to mainstream famous so he can just do whatever he wants. the brand is strong.

    Tbf a huge part of that is just CS dicking on all but a few games in viewership and overwatch not being near as popular even at its peak. Shroud brought in way more fans from his pro career.
