Exclusive Twitch streaming Contract In LeBron “The Decision” Parody

A member of FaZe Clan and one of Call of Duty: Warzone’s biggest streamers, Kris Lamberson aka Swagg or FaZe Swagg has recently announced that he signed an exclusive exclusive contract with Twitch platform. Swagg has risen into popularity on twitch with over 1.4 million followers on the platform where he streams the game Call of duty: Warzone.

Swagg created an announcement video and he posted it on his twitter account. In the video, he took inspiration from LeBron James’ 2010 “The Decision” TV special but he put his own twist on it. Focusing specifically on how vital he considers his role as a Black streamer to be, he explained that this is just one step of many. He talks about just how pivotal his growth means for minorities in gaming as he stated in the video; “I think it’s important, man, just to inspire the next generation of gamers … even more specifically, Black gamers, in a world where you don’t see too many of them.”

From the checkered button-up shirt, the TV set background, and the awkwardly muted expressions, Swagg may just have a future in acting if his 2010 LeBron impersonation is anything to go off of. For Swagg, his decision of the exclusive contract with Twitch is unsurprising, and putting together the “The Decision” parody is an easy, humorous ode to his past. He emphasizes, his success is about more than himself and can hopefully embody a shifting of gaming’s landscape toward more inclusivity of minorities.
