Twitch su!ered a blow when Tyler “Ninja” Blevins announced he was

Driving Game Growth & Into
the Metaverse would livestream exclusively on Microsoft’s Mixer back on August 1. But

it’s striking back with by snagging one of YouTube’s biggest gaming stars:

beginning September 1. He’ll keep his schedule of streams at 6 a.m. and 2

p.m., where he streams Fortnite (he used to do other games). With

4,643,087 million subscribers as of this report (this doesn’t even count

how many watch him but don’t subscribe), Amyoony is YouTube’s top live

streamer. He will still keep his video-on-demand material on YouTube,

and it will receive regular updates. It’s a sign that we’ve moved into a new

phase of the streaming wars — instead of new platforms appearing,

they’re now fighting for viewers and exclusive content.

Big views, big move

He’s experienced incredible growth with his channel. Stats provided from

his representatives show he reached the 1 million subscriber mark on June

23, 2018 — a little more than a year ago. He’s had 356 million total views. A

number of Nick Eh 30’s videos get more than 1 million views. While he’s

known for Fortnite, you can see videos for other games (like Apex Legends)

on his YouTube page. He started putting videos on YouTube in 2014, and

become a professional streamer in 2017. He started playing Fortnite in

December 2017.

“I’m focused on serving my great

community of upbeat, positive

gamers, and Twitch’s exclusive

features make it a natural fit for

this next chapter in my career,”

Amyoony said over email. ” I am,

now, more committed than ever

to elevate my competitive play,

engage fans in real time, and

ensure my followers are enjoying

the streams. Twitch’s exclusive tournaments, its incredible roster of

today’s top players, truly live broadcasts, and suite of broadcasting tools

really weighed on my decision to move.”

Even with the huge audience and his sponsors, Amyoony says streaming in

2019 remains a di"cult, competitive market.

“Being a professional

streamer has never

been more

competitive. The

world’s top players

are streaming daily

and everyone is

looking to build a

great community,”

he said. “Luckily, I

already have a large,

committed audience

and I can’t wait to

show them all the

new ways we could

engage on Twitch. ”

If you’re one of Nick

Eh 30’s subscribers,

his representatives

say that those subbing to him on Twitch will have their YouTube tenure

matched, and you’ll get the “corresponding loyalty badges to ensure his

members have the same access” as before.

Twitch.

Amyoony said he’s moving to

Twitch because it o!ers better

stream quality, chat, and

extensions: “Providing my community with a positive, safe and

comfortable experience is absolutely critical,” he said. “I’m really excited

about using Twitch’s tools to connect with and engage fans in real-time,

encourage good-hearted conversations and focus on the community who

are contributing to the fun we’re all having.”

But this move is also about competitions — since he’s a pro Fortnite

player, this is important, as Amazon’s subsidiary hosts a number of

exclusive events. If you’re streaming on YouTube, it’s hard to take part in

these. And pro play is becoming more important to him, he said in a press

release. One of those is Twitch Rivals, a series that features 100 events (at

least in 2019) and millions in prizes.

Amyoony is also known for how he interacts with his community, o!ering

lots of advice on how to get better at games like Fortnite.

“My community means

everything to me,” said Nicholas

Amyoony, also known as Nick Eh

30. “At Twitch, I’ll be able to

engage fans in new ways, compete

in platform-only competitions

and collaborate with many of

Fortnite’s best players. This is a

big move for us, and I couldn’t be

more excited to have my fans

follow me to Twitch.”

Nick Eh 30 started doing videos with The Last of Us, adding Uncharted 4,

Resident Evil 7, and The Last of Us 2.
