There has been plenty of upheaval in the world of streaming with the recent departures of Tyler "Ninja" Belvins, Michael "shroud" Grzesiek, Jack "Courage" Dunlop, and others departing Twitch to sign exclusive streaming deals with the likes of Mixer and YouTube Gaming. However, Tuesday, December 10th, saw Twitch rebound from these losses with announcements that Saqib "LIRIK" Zahid, Tim "TimTheTatman" Betar and Ben "DrLupo" Lupo had signed new deals with the Amazon-owned streaming platform.
LIRIK, TimTheTatman, and DrLupo all announced their new deals with Twitch by way of their Twitter accounts on December 10th. You can find all three of these announcements below:
