Last week brought the nigh-unbelievable news that Canadian streamer Felix 'xQc' Lengyel had signed a $100 million two-year deal with recently launched Twitch competitor Kick. The deal was notable not just for its sheer size, although wow, but the obvious connection between the hugely popular streamer's constant gambling, Twitch putting its foot down on the same topic, and Kick being part of an established gambling site (Stake.com).
The megabucks deal has needless to say invited plenty of comment from other big streamers, and inevitable drama as the potshots fly back-and-forth. Imane 'Pokimane' Anys said she would never stream on Kick, saying on a June 20 stream that she wouldn't even take $10 million (I'm not sure why this was the comparison figure, rather than the $100 million xQc's taken).
