Apparently, there was a big payday for the 3 streamers Lirik, DrLupo, and TimTheTatman at Twitch. The successful WoW Classic streamer Asmongold is looking over and wants to join the club of “lucrative contracts.” It seems he is succeeding.
What is the situation? Yesterday around 7:00 PM, 3 streamers announced that they would be staying with Twitch.
According to a leak, it is assumed that they have signed multi-year contracts worth several million dollars. It was a big payday on Twitch.
The 3 Twitch streamers are represented by the agency Loaded. The agency represents some of the biggest streamers in the world.
These include Ninja, Shroud, Lirik, summit1, TimTheTatman, Cloakzy, CouRageJD, KingRichard, DrLupo, and many more.
Asmongold asks: “How can I get in?”
This is how Asmongold reacted: When the WoW streamer Asmongold learned about the big Twitch deals, his first reaction was: “How can I join Loaded?”
He asked this on Twitter to the leaker who predicted the deal of the 3 streamers.
After that, Loaded sent him a message on Twitter telling him to check his direct messages. Asmongold acknowledged this live on Twitch stream with some astonishment.
You can see the scene here.
Loaded is apparently the “club of cool kids” for Twitch
What it means: What comes across as funny here has a serious background.
Asmongold has been the most successful Twitch streamer of the last months with the success of WoW Classic on Twitch.
However, he does not have a big “streaming agency” representing him. Therefore, he now apparently feels like he is missing out while others, who are actually less successful streamers than he is, are making the big bucks.
The agency Loaded seems to have enormous influence, representing so many top personalities and being involved in deciding who switches from Twitch and who stays.
If it becomes known that they negotiate big deals for “their” streamers, the agency can become even bigger and more influential.
The switches of shroud and Ninja have set off a domino effect in recent months: streamers are either leaving Twitch or staying. Both options are certainly well-paid.
