But earlier this week, he wasn\u2019t shy about saying that if he takes any time away from the platform again, it will be for good. While talking to his viewers, the well-known MMO streamer said that if he is in a situation where he feels like he needs to \u201ctake a break\u201d from streaming for an extended period of time, he will instead quit for good. \u201cIf I have to take a break again, I will probably quit forever,\u201d Asmongold said. \u201cThat is my plan. \u2026 Unless it\u2019s like a crazy health thing or whatever.\u201d Asmongold might be one of the most-watched people on the platform, but despite his popularity, he has taken an extended hiatus from Twitch numerous times in his career. He usually takes his breaks to take a step back and focus on his personal mental health, and in YouTube videos that he posts semi-regularly, he hasn\u2019t been shy about explaining his thought process. \u201cAt that point, it would have happened four or five times, and it\u2019s clearly unhealthy for me,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve tried different ways to handle things and deal with them so if it continues to be that stressful it\u2019s something that I\u2019d have to move on... Because I would be at that point ruining my life.\u201d This mentality by Asmon comes following the passing of his mother, whom he lived with and helped take care of. His most recent break from streaming started in September prior to her death. He eventually came back at the beginning of February. In 2021, he took two elongated breaks from streaming on his main channel, and he took two in 2019, one of which bled well into 2020. Despite taking a five-month break from streaming on his main channel in the past year, Asmongold is the 15th most-watched content creator on the platform in the past 365 days. His channel has the fifth-highest average viewership of any channel with more than 1,000 hours of airtime, according to stats from SullyGnome.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/31162833\/asmongold-youtube.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576929"}],"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\/1771"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=576929"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576929\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":576944,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576929\/revisions\/576944"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/565237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=576929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=576929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=576929"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=576929"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=576929"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=576929"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=576929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Asmongold is one of the most popular content creators to ever stream on Twitch. But earlier this week, he wasn\u2019t shy about saying that if he takes any time away from the platform again, it will be for good.<\/p>

While talking to his viewers, the well-known MMO streamer said that if he is in a situation where he feels like he needs to \u201ctake a break\u201d from streaming for an extended period of time, he will instead quit for good.<\/p>

\u201cIf I have to take a break again, I will probably quit forever,\u201d Asmongold said. \u201cThat is my plan. \u2026 Unless it\u2019s like a crazy health thing or whatever.\u201d<\/p>

Asmongold might be one of the most-watched people on the platform, but despite his popularity, he has taken an extended hiatus from Twitch numerous times in his career. He usually takes his breaks to take a step back and focus on his personal mental health, and in YouTube videos that he posts semi-regularly, he hasn\u2019t been shy about explaining his thought process.<\/p>
