"You ready to go?": Valkyrae, Pokimane, Karl Jacobs, and more react to Sykkuno switching from Twitch to YouTube

Sykkuno just announced his next move in his livestreaming career via Twitter and it's a cinematic masterpiece. The Twitch star and internet personality tweeted out an ominous, well-made video that revealed his ultimate game plan, but not without giving a little background to any newcomers who may wander onto his page:

"This is where it all started."

Bright lights beamed onto the streamer as he recounted his story, telling his audience the true intention as to why he had chosen this career path.

He reminisced about how he streamed all of the games he played and the friends he made along the way throughout his time on Twitch. But the flashback ended abruptly as friend and fellow streamer Rachell "Valkyrae" redirected him to his new path:

"Syk, you ready to go?"

Sykkuno got up from his chair and unfolded the infamous Shoji screen that can be seen in every single one of his streams, maybe as an indication to the viewers that he was not giving up streaming for good. He sat back down and looked at the camera with a smile before revealing his next move:

"I'm gonna do what I've always done, just in a new place."

The scene instantly changed to a black screen with his username and a description titled "Exclusively on YouTube Gaming" on it before coming to an end.
