In the video (which you can check out below), Wang says, “Hey guys, I am moving platform,” waiting until the end of the video to reveal that his destination is none other than Facebook Gaming. It’s an interesting choice given that some other big streamers – like Ninja and Shroud – have instead moved to competitor streaming site Microsoft Mixer from Twitch in recent months.
Wang also reveals that he decided to approach making the announcement in an unusual (and pretty darn heartwarming) way. He says he was given a $20k production budget to make the announcement, saying “every time a streamer moves they have this really cool produced video – and here I am, standing in a hotel room, filming this.” Instead of spending it, he took the cheque, drove down to Los Angeles Children’s Hospital, and donated it to them instead. Which is lovely.
