Ninja Pulled More Viewers for His Summer Skirmish Finals Stream Than the Official Broadcast and Epic Games Loved It
Mark Rein has made it clear that the Epic Games loves seeing Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins attract more viewers to his restream of the Fortnite Summer Skirmish Grand Final than the official Fortnite channel!
Esports journalist Tyler ‘Fionn’ Erzberger took to Twitter to say “Ninja has more viewers for #SummerSkimrish Grand Final restreaming it than the actual Fortnite channel” and suggested that “Riot would probably ban his Twitch and fine him 5k” if a League of Legends pro like Søren “Bjergsen” Bjerg did the same thing.
But Epic Games’ Vice President was quick to respond, saying “We love this!!!” before congratulating Ninja and thanking him for his support of the competition:
In response to Rein’s Tweet, Ninja simply said “Epic is everything” – once again vocalizing his support for the company he has often credited with “breaking the standards” in esports and gaming.
