It can never be denied that Tyler “Ninja” Blevin's influence is beyond every gamer's dream, just look at what happened on April 2018 when he trumped Cristiano Ronaldo, who is considered to be one of the most influential athletes in the 21st century, in terms of social interactions. He even made the news for being the first gamer to be at the front cover on ESPN's magazine. Ninja is also one of the most valuable faces in gaming today.
Even his streams would showcase the scope of his reach to the point where celebrity rapper Drake would drop by to play Fortnite with him. He was even featured by Elen DeGeneres in her show.
There were many factors that contribute to his popularity which includes his advocacies in supporting mental health issues and his numerous charitable causes.
But he would never reach that stage if it weren't for his experience in the streaming industry. It didn't matter if his lowly basement setting isn't as grandeur as Dr. Disrespect's hollywood-esque greenscreen effects as his mechanical skills and his ability to incorporate a 90s sitcom persona would enhance the quality of his streams.
With his expertise, comes his most insane streaming moments which are jotted down below.
THE GODLIKE KILLS
Picking any of his kills to take the number one spot is like picking a grain of sand as Ninja had a lot of moments that would make your eyeballs drop. That miraculous 1-v-1 duel when he landed badly with only a pint of HP left yet managed to get the kill even though he didn't have the high ground advantage en route to a Victory Royale? Or that time when he flew and landed on someone while delivering a thunderous close ranged shot? How about that moment when he jumped off his platform and delivered an aerial headshot while landing on the ground and celebrated as if he won a game show event?
You never know what to expect from his streams and that's the beauty of it.
THE MEME WORTHY DANCES
A staple of his streaming career for every highlight reel kill that he accomplished would lead to some cringe-inducing yet hilarious dances that are worth one's time.
However he doesn't just limit himself to conducting these dances after every kill as he even had some moments when he simply goofballs around. He could pull-off the iconic Fortnite dance in the middle of the match just to alleviate some boredom from the grueling demands of a Battle Royale game.
He even formulated the Ponpon dance, his signature dance move. It may not be as complex as seen from those dance groups competing in America's Got Talent, but the sheer silliness it offers is enough to make Simon Cowell press the golden buzzer.
This makes him a natural born entertainer.
NINJA'S ROLLERCOASTER RIDE
If you ever had that crippling fear of going to Universal Studios after watching a disaster movie where a rollercoaster ride would lead to some tragedy then perhaps you could still experience the adrenaline inducing theme park rides in a random Fortnite game. Just watch how Ninja does it in one of his streams. In a highly competitive environment where everyone's lives are on the line, Ninja manages to insert a twist of amusement by building his own rollercoaster ride with a shopping cart and a stack of wooden platforms. He kept on building a high-rise monument that could rival Mt. Everest. His teammates are left dumbfounded with his approach. When Ninja began building the downward slopes, he insisted that his teammates should speed up the shopping cart even if the slope wasn't even finished to begin with.
Once you finished the video, you'll end up being surprised at the outcome.
5000TH VICTORY ROYALE
The moment that truly showed the testament to his skill as Ninja proved that he is without a doubt the god of Fortnite. It can never be denied that he single-handedly carried the entire Fortnite banner as the game's popularity is oftentimes credited to him. He was simply flawless in that game alternating between multiple weapons and bedazzling his opponents with his own construction company as his wooden walls and platforms would confuse his opponents. The final kill was his teammates hilariously surrounding the lone survivor with their melee weapons, complimented by a monkeydance at the end.
One word to describe this victory comes from a word that's associated with the game's developers, “epic.”
2018 NINJA VEGAS
For a streamer to have his own competitive tournament in Las Vegas named after him is enough to seal his legacy. Though Ninja cherishes the spotlight, this moment revealed his willingness to let others shine as well. Indeed Ninja is viewed as the best Fortnite player of all time, but in this tournament he was bested by a bunch of enigmas specifically Maurilio “Blind” Gramajo, who ended up being a professional Fortnite player.
This was also his highest viewed streams amassing around 680,000 concurrent viewers. This also revealed his charitable side as Ninja was willing shell-out $2,500 to whoever kills him and to whoever earns the Victory Royale. For every victory Ninja accumulated will lead him to donating cash to the Alzhemier's Association.
