British streamers Mark “Valkia” Purdy (pictured left) and Craig “OnScreenLOL” Shannon have joined Nvidia’s UK Twitch team.
They will both be hosting two shows a week on the Nvidia Twitch channel (Valkia on Fridays and Saturdays from 11am to 2pm, OnScreenLOL Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8pm to 11pm).
They join the likes of Sacriel, Lt Zonda and Spamfish who are already a part of Nvidia’s UK streamer team.
OnScreenLOL’s first stream will be today (Wednesday October 5th at 8pm) and Valkia’s on Friday (October 7th at 11am). The former will mainly be focusing on CSGO while the latter will be streaming Overwatch, but both will have a sprinkling of other games too.
Both Valkia and OnScreenLOL were featured in eSports News UK’s top 20 UK streamers article earlier this year. We also ran this streamer spotlight profile interview piece with Valkia here.
