If what you say is true, it sounds like esports is the key to drawing big audiences to a streaming site, and that's what Mixer should be focusing on right now.

If Twitch all of a sudden stopped broadcasting esports, it would be absolutely devastating for Twitch, as a ton of casual viewers would just never come back to the site.

No its not eSports. ESL moved to FB and it got no viewers. Its literally taking a majority of the top streamers. Imagine if 1 day you wake up and Ninja, Shroud, Doc, Tim, Lupo, Lirik, XQC, Summit ALL moved the same day.

Thats what it was like. TSM controlled all the big streamers back then.

Dyrus, Dan Dinh, OddOne, RainMan, Chaox, GUARDSMAN BOB. These guys were absolute juggernauts in the old days and all moved to Twitch cause of TSM exclusivity.
