The battle for supremacy between Twitch and Mixer has raged on since 2016. Twitch has been around for more than a decade and, unsurprisingly, it has the lion’s share of the market. On the other hand, Mixer may just be over 4 years old, but it is certainly gaining ground on its rival. While there remains a massive chasm between the two platforms in terms of viewership, Mixer has a strategy that is working well. It is luring the biggest, most influential streamers to their platform. Reports flying around suggest summit1g may be the next big name to take his business across town.

Summit1g Set to Exit Twitch?

Mixer may not have the numbers, but it sure does have the names. In the past year, it managed to entice huge names like Ninja and Shroud to their platform, leaving behind astronomical numbers on their twitch channels.

Ninja left behind a whopping 14.5 million followers while shroud left 7 million followers behind when they switched to Mixer. Neither streamer has anything close to those numbers on Mixer, and yet they are happier than ever.

Mixer goes out of its way to ensure streamers want to make base on their turf by allowing them a lot more freedom on the personal branding front. Twitch, on the other hand, likes to keep control.

We could very well see summit1g make the switch next as the rumors surrounding his imminent change grow stronger. He has also noticeably stopped being too vocal about the topic whenever a viewer brings it up. Doesn’t want to rock the boat before a deal is finalized? Quite possible.

Earlier in the year, he hinted at some big changes in his life.

“Stuff’s getting moved, and right now my main focus is Twitch. I’ve got big things coming up, and I’m in a big moment of my life. You’ve just gotta let me handle one big thing at a time.”


Until he announces something officially, take a look at the instances where the topic was broached.

Summit1g recently reached a cool 5 million followers on twitch, thanks, in part, to Valorant’s beta drops on his stream.

He may just have to start from scratch again if he does indeed make the move. But we can be sure it won’t take him long to grow his following there too.
