xQc has signed 100 million dollar deal with Kick in non-exclusive contract, reveals agent

xQc has reportedly signed a two-year contract worth almost $100 million dollars with Kick, as per his agent Ryan Morrison. The Canadian content creator will be yet another top Twitch streamer to enter a non-exclusive deal with a rival streaming platform. While the official announcement is yet to be made, certain details were released by the Juicer's agent.

Morrison revealed that the initial deal is worth around $70 million, but with other incentives, it can very well balloon past a hundred million. xQc's move is certainly significant for the up-and-coming streaming platform Kick; it has reportedly secured one of the biggest names associated with Twitch, albeit non-exclusively.

After all, he currently has over 11 million followers on the purple platform, which makes xQc the second most-followed English-speaking channel there.

Twitch has had a number of streamers move to other platforms in the last couple of months. Moreover, its latest policy changes — such as the simulcast rule — have only driven more creators out, as explained by Ninja, who also started streaming on Kick a few days ago.

Like GM Hikaru, xQc will be joining the new platform in a non-exclusive role, meaning he will still be able to stream on other platforms, like Twitch. However, his main focus will probably be on Kick.

The news of this development has naturally attracted a lot of attention from fellow streamers such as HasanAbi and DrDisRespect, who've extended their support to the former Overwatch player.

Fans predicted the move as Twitch star's Kick channel recently changed its name and got a sub button

Social media was already rife with speculation, as many fans thought Felix might be moving to Kick after changes to his profile on the platform a few hours ago.

One Twitter user by the name @JerryKick778 pointed out that its name had been recently altered and there was a subscription button that allowed people to donate subs.

With many streamers leaving Twitch recently, and the branded content controversy making apparent people's growing frustration with the Amazon-owned platform's policies, Felix's move has captivated many.
