Professional gamer Benjamin “DrLupo” Lupo announced an exclusive livestreaming deal with YouTube Gaming today. The deal for the internet gaming celebrity is a blow to YouTube rival Twitch, where DrLupo also has a big audience.

DrLupo already has 1.7 million subscribers on YouTube, and today’s announcement strengthens DrLupo’s presence there, which is the largest gaming platform with over 100 billion hours of gaming content watched in 2020. He will kick off his first-ever YouTube livestream on August 31.
