Call of Duty: Warzone streamer will make the move from Twitch to YouTube on September 2, following an announcement today.
Kris “Swagg” Lamberson announced today that he would take his talents to YouTube following nearly ten years on the Twitch streaming platform. A member of FaZe Clan–Swagg rose to prominence in the early stages of Call of Duty: Warzone. He quickly ascended the rankings as a top player; the viewership numbers and success followed. Since 2020, Swagg has enjoyed a spot atop Twitch’s totem pole as a go-to Warzone streamer.
Today, Swagg officially revealed that he’s leaving Twitch and has accepted a deal to become an exclusive streamer on YouTube Gaming. He joins a growing list of creators to make the jump, including Tim “TimTheTatman” Betar, Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter, Jack “CouRageJD” Dunlop, Ludwig Ahgren, and Ali “Myth” Kabbani, who also defected to the rival platform.
