The two-time champ Dr Disrespect has finally responded to queries from fans asking if he’s going to move to Kick as the new streaming platform continues to grow.
Twitch and YouTube have another big competitor in their midst after the launch of Kick, an alternative streaming platform founded by Twitch star Trainwrecks.
A few major streamers have decided to start broadcasting on Kick, including the likes of Adin Ross, Heelmike, and now GM Hikaru, who joined the site on March 28 without an exclusive deal.
With Kick’s mobile app launching over the past weekend, speculation is higher than ever that more and more big streamers will begin straying away from Twitch… and there’s one in particular that viewers can’t wait to hear from.

Dr Disrespect’s latest statement comes amid rampant speculation that he would be next to join Kick after Adin Ross teased that a “superstar” streamer would join the site.
Of course, this ended up being GM Hikaru — but there’s no telling if the Doc will be Kick’s next big broadcaster or not, for now.
