Fuslie announces Twitch return two years after signing YouTube contract

As a longtime Twitch fan and follower of Fuslie’s captivating streams, I couldn’t help but shed a tear of joy when I heard the news about her return to the platform. Two years felt like an eternity without her vibrant personality gracing our screens. Her journey from Twitch to YouTube and back again is reminiscent of a rollercoaster ride, with twists and turns that kept us on the edge of our seats.


100 Thieves team member Fuslie, who departed Twitch about two years ago for YouTube, has now announced she’s coming back to Twitch once more.

On August 31, 2022, Fuslie’s Twitch broadcast concluded with tears in her eyes due to a flood of “goodbyes” from viewers, sparking speculation that the 100 Thieves affiliate might be transitioning to YouTube Gaming.

On September 6, it turned out that those rumors were true, and the following day saw Fuslie’s first broadcast on the Google-owned platform. During this stream, she disclosed her decision to switch to YouTube, explaining that Twitch’s DMCA system was the reason behind her move, as she was just one strike away from having her account terminated entirely.

This past Saturday, October 26th, Fuslie regained her Twitch Partner badge as she announced her return to the Amazon-operated platform following a break of more than two years. In her update, Fuslie shared that she intends to broadcast on multiple platforms simultaneously.

She announced, “We’re back again!” in a post on X. Starting next Tuesday (29th), she will experiment with multi-streaming on both Twitch and YouTube. After an incredible two years on YouTube, she is eager to resume streaming on Twitch once more, expressing her gratitude for the experience.

Hey there, gaming buddies!

In 2022, Fuslie joined a team of streamers who shifted to YouTube. More recently, she’s rejoining that same group, but this time on Twitch in some form or another.

In September, TimTheTatman, DrLupo, FaZe Swagg, and Sykkuno all broke their exclusive agreements with YouTube and moved back to streaming on Twitch instead.

Tim and Lupo are consistently streaming on multiple platforms simultaneously, achieving significant success. On the other hand, Swagg and Sykkuno ceased their YouTube streaming altogether, choosing instead to dedicate all their efforts exclusively to Twitch.

For a while now, consistent YouTube contributors IShowSpeed and Ludwig have maintained their popularity, with IShowSpeed consistently shattering viewership milestones.

In September 2024, Speed broke the record as the all-time most popular English-speaking live streamer, with an audience exceeding one million viewers.
