Streamer leaves Twitch community of 4.5 million followers; first YouTube Gaming stream airs tomorrow
Professional streamer Benjamin “DrLupo” Lupo announced today he has signed a deal to stream exclusively with YouTube Gaming.
He will begin streaming on the platform solely on August 31.
He began streaming in 2015 and has since grown a Twitch following of 4.5 million and 1.7 million on his personal YouTube channel.
“I am incredibly fortunate to be able to do what I love and even more grateful to be able to give back to causes that I care about the most,” said Lupo.
“YouTube not only allows me to continue creating content and growing my community, but through this partnership, YouTube will help me as I expand my brand through other entertainment initiatives. I am excited to bring my fans on this journey with me.”
YouTube Gaming viewership was reported to be up 28% year-on-year, growing to 1.4 billion hours watched. However it still significantly lags behind Twitch viewership, which had more than four times as many hours watched that quarter and saw 97% year-over-year growth.
