Twitch has bid adieu to KSI, and Kick is trying to seize the deal. 

On June 5, 2023, Twitch caused chaos in the Esports world as they released their new set of guidelines and TOS. As per these new guidelines, they had tightened the situation for creators, now charging a $25 fee for termination of the contract. So, streamers raged on social media platforms as they had their last dollar on the bet. Alas! Twitch crushed their dreams, pushing a majority of the creators to call quits with the platform. 

And that’s not all. Apparently, the Amazon-owned platform also sent out termination contracts to big-time creators as well. KSI, the YouTuber turned boxer, spoke about the issue on Twitter as he quoted the post, ‘Sad times.’ 

Twitch ends terms with KSI; Kick offers a deal 

After the release of the controversial guidelines, Twitch promised to revamp the document. However, they had lost half their community as streamers moved on to better opportunities. And sadly, that made them make a strange move, sending a mail to KSI for termination of the contract. 

In the mail, the franchise claimed that it would end the partnership with the boxer effective from the next year. KSI had one opportunity to save it, and that was to accept the new terms of service. However, the Youtuber chose not to, as he uploaded a Twitter post talking about the same. The email also informed JJ to be on the lookout for a new agreement and that they were willing to give him one last chance before the massive exit. 

Amidst this chaos, Twitch’s arch-rival Kick swooped in to shoot their shot at KSI. They uploaded a handshake emoji under his post, hinting that they were ready to sign him. This isn’t the first time Kick has done something like this, as the platform always had unique ways to reach out to creators.

For instance, when Twitch claimed to charge the $25 fee for termination, the green platform tried to save the day. They promised to pay the fee to creators who were ready to make the big change. And well, Twitter saw some controversial posts with people promising it for the future. Now, the question remains, will KSI accept this massive offer, and if yes, how much would Kick sign him for?
