‘Fortnite’ Star Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins Exits Twitch to Livestream for Microsoft’s Mixer

Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, one of the biggest names in esports, has left Twitch to stream exclusively on Microsoft’s live streaming platform Mixer, the online gaming guru announced Thursday on his Twitter. “I have been holding onto this for quite some time and I am just super excited to let everyone know that I will be streaming on Mixer full-time now,” he said in a video post, “I just feel like I am going to get back to the streaming roots and that’s what it’s all about… I look forward to seeing all you guys on the platform.” Since announcing his jump to the Mixer platform, Ninja has already attracted over 100,000 subscribes to his new channel. He will host his first livestream via Mixer Friday from Lollapalooza, the four-day music festival in Chicago. As of May 2019, the 28-year-old who is best known for his skills on “Fortnite,” was the most followed streamer on Twitch with over fourteen million followers and an average of over 40,000 viewers per week. His resignation from the platform ends a long-running and profitable partnership with the Amazon-owned live streaming company.
