Recently, NICKMERCS announced that he had signed a new deal with Twitch, extending his longtime relationship with the platform. This new contract put an end to the speculation that the streamer was moving to a rival platform. Both NICKMERCS and Twitch posted videos on Twitter celebrating their continued partnership. While the exact details of the contract are unknown, it seems probable that the deal was huge, considering the popularity of the streamer and the likelihood that rival streaming services offered him substantial sums of money to join their platforms.
Besides this new agreement with Twitch, NICKMERCS has been busy with other endeavors as well. Earlier this year, he became a co-owner of theprofessional esports organization FaZe Clan. In addition, he signed a deal with Under Armour. That contract marked the first time the athletic company had ever signed a gamer-athlete.
This news regarding NICKMERCS’ new Twitch deal comes as several other high-profile streamers recently left Twitch. Last month, popularWarzonestreamer TimTheTatman announced that he was going to YouTube. This move reunited him with his former streaming buddy,the controversial Dr. Disrespect. In addition, Dr. Lupo revealed that he had signed a contract with YouTube only a couple of days before Tim.
It will be interesting to see where NICKMERCS goes from here. After becoming frustrated withcheaters inCall of Duty: Warzone, he has moved on to other games such asApex Legends. However, he has taken a break from streaming since hosting a massive BBQ for members of his MFAM community. However, with this new contract under his belt, it seems that the streamer is poised to make a big return to streaming very soon.
