Mixer

USA

Esports superstar Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has begun streaming on Google platform YouTube following the recent shutdown of Microsoft's Mixer service.

Mixer, the esports live streaming platform owned by technology giant Microsoft, is to be closed from July 22, following a deal struck between its owner and Facebook

Twitch's three-year deal with ESL and DreamHack is a landmark for the streaming platform and another sign that the esports industry is adopting traditional media-rights principles.
