Gaming icon Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has quite a history with stream snipers. To be honest, stream sniping often comes with the content creation territory. That sentiment applies explicitly to someone like Ninja—who is undoubtedly one of the world’s popular gamers. While stream sniping is usually a malicious act, some offenders approach it from a more light-hearted standpoint.
Case and point is a hilarious encounter that occurred in a recent stream involving Ninja, Jack “CouRageJD” Dunlop, Ben “DrLupo” Lupo, and Ali “SypherPK” Hassan. The four players and thousands of viewers had a laugh at Ninja’s expense. A clip, captured and posted by esports personality Jake Lucky, depicts what went down during a Fortnite match. Ninja, Lupo, Sypher, and Courage were vibing in-game before stumbling across a curious structure. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that a group of stream snipers spelled out “Mixer” in wooden pieces.
The group, not including Ninja, laughed at the situation immediately. Their reaction prompted Ninja to flex with the “Make It Rain” emote before giggling to himself. It was a fun moment amongst friends to witness. For those who don’t understand the reference, Ninja signed a record-breaking deal with the now-defunct Mixer streaming platform. The agreement, which was reportedly worth $50 million, made Ninja the highest-paid content creator at the time.
He spent less than a year with Mixer before Microsoft shut the streaming website down. Now, despite Ninja’s return to Twitch following a historic buyout, Mixer remains a running joke. Ninja is usually a good sport about Mixer-related banter—whether it comes from his group of friends or third-party individuals. The Fortnite legend ultimately had the last laugh, considering he received a full contract payout from the organization.
