Times have changed a whole lot in the past two years in the streaming ecosystem. Twitch no longer houses prominent names like Dr Disrespect, TimTheTatman, DrLupo, and now Nickmercs might jump ship to YouTube Gaming as well. This massive shift in the streaming landscape all started with Doc’s surprising removal from Twitch last year.

Doc has now expressed his dissatisfaction with the unfair treatment and has promised to sue the Twitch. This has created a rebellion on Twitch with streamers like ZLaner and now even Cloakzy openly talking about missing Doc. ZLaner has been actively taking shots at the platform just for his dear friend and Cloakzy has joined the party as well.

“I want to play with Doc so f*****g bad, what if I? Listen,  what if I stream, right? I stream with Doc, Z didn’t get banned, right? Z didn’t get banned, so I’m thinking, I stream with Doc, the worst thing that can happen is I get banned for like two weeks, or a month. But, then I have two weeks or a month off of streaming, uh fivehead right and then I come back a month later.”
