Three of Twitch's high-profile streamers have decided to stay loyal to the company that helped them reach their pinnacle.

The outlet also echoed a tweet from Rod Breslau (aka high class leakboy Slasher) who, according to his sources, said that the contract extends to “millions of dollars per year.”

the self-proclaimed “world's #1” e-sports consultant and insider also pointed that the agency representing some of the gaming community's top streamers including Ninja, shroud and CouRage continues to bring hefty contract deals for their top clients.

Lupo, Zahid and Betar tag and enormous chunk of followers reaching to around 10.375 million alonside thousands of views every stream, added Engadget.

Polygon meanwhile saw the signing as Twitch's firm stand against its up and coming rivals: Tyler "Ninja" Blevins transferred to Mixer, while Mike “Shroud” Grzesiek and Jack “Courage” Dunlop signed with YouTube Gaming.

In addition, “Super Smash Bros.” sensation Zero and Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang of “Hearthstone” and “Teamfight Tactics” are now with Facebook Gaming.

Despite going their separate ways, Twitch is still on top of the streaming universe with over 75% of the market. The trio's decision to say with them will not only reinvigorate Twitch's spirit, it will also have a mark in the gaming and streaming hemisphere that they're still here and they're here to stay.
