Streamers Trainwreck and Hikaru Make Exciting Announcements
Earlier this week, Trainwreck, an advisor for streaming platform Kick, teased that they would be making six new signings. This caused a lot of excitement among Twitch fans.
On March 28, chess grandmaster and streamer Hikaru hinted that he had a big announcement coming. People speculated that he might be one of the new signings for Kick. And it turns out, they were right. Kick beat Hikaru to the punch and officially welcomed him to their community.
Hikaru is a well-known figure in the chess world. He is a prodigy, a U.S. Chess Champion, and the reigning World Fischer Random Chess Champion, among other accomplishments.
He has gained popularity as a streamer and content creator, especially for his chess content. He has millions of followers on both Twitch and YouTube. Now, he will primarily stream his chess content on Kick.
Reactions to the news have been mixed. Some see it as a great addition that will strengthen the platform, while others feel that it did not live up to the hype. According to Trainwreck, there are still five more signings to come, so there is hope for more impressive additions.
Hikaru will likely discuss his move during his stream tomorrow. Fans are curious to know if he will exclusively stream on Kick or if he will still use Twitch occasionally.
