Many speculated that the FaZe Clan co-owner would be the latest streamer to make the move to YouTube. Nick\u2019s announcement on Twitter, however, reaffirmed his place on Twitch. The details regarding NICKMERCS\u2019 contract length and estimated worth have not been disclosed. Twitch has suffered from an exodus of streamers leaving its platform, with recent departures including TimTheTatman and DrLupo. NICKMERCS\u2019 audience eclipses both of these streamers.\u00a0 NICKMERCS is one of the most recognizable figures in gaming. The content creator\u2019s platform encompasses over 15 million followers, 6.2 million of which are on Twitch. If Twitch had lost the streaming goliath to YouTube, its spot as the top streaming platform would have been put in jeopardy. Though NICKMERCS has taken a short break from streaming, last going live on Sept. 24, he's still been making waves in the news.\u00a0NICKMERCS became a co-owner of FaZe Clan earlier this year. Along with this, NICKMERCS appeared on a Sports Illustrated magazine cover in June and became Under Armor\u2019s first gamer athlete in August. The avid Buccaneers fan also hosted a 6,000-person barbeque in the New York Yankees' spring training facility in Tampa Bay last month.\u00a0 Amid the height of the streaming wars, Twitch re-signing and securing one of the biggest names in the industry is certainly a massive win for the site. You can catch NICKMERCS' return to streaming and Twitch on his channel.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/05114118\/Screenshot-16-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466691"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2021"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=466691"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466691\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":467478,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466691\/revisions\/467478"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/466742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=466691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=466691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=466691"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=466691"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=466691"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=466691"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=466691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
