YouTube star and hit Twitch streamer MontanaBlack is indefinitely retiring from the public eye. On Twitter, the 33-year-old justified the step with physical and mental problems.
The video game streamer MontanaBlack is no longer appearing on Internet platforms for the time being. “I’m probably at the lowest point of my life right now, physically and mentally,” the 33-year-old wrote on Twitter on Saturday night. “Some things happened outside of the Internet”. MontanaBlack, whose real name is Marcel Eris, comes from Buxtehude and is one of the most successful streamers in Germany.

At the moment he does not know when or how he will come back, he wrote. His podcast “Chatgeflüster” with the streamer Simon Unge should also pause for the time being. There will be no new podcast episodes “until things get better,” Unge said on Twitter.
Previously, MontanaBlack had not published any new videos on the Twitch platform for several days. There he usually plays video games live in front of an audience.
