Ninja - The King of Lucky Deals

Adam Čapek

His full name is Richard Tyler Blevins. He was born June 5, 1991. He is famous because of the battle royale archetype game Fortnite. When he graduated he decided he wanted to join the esport career. He always played battle royale.

Long time he livestreamed for a few people, in average i'd say it was something around 20 people. But then Fortnite became so popular that the game increased his viewer base by thousands of people watching in one moment. He set a record for most subscribers. There were 269,155 people who were monthly paying five dollars. He also set the record for most concurrent viewers, 635,000, while playing Fortnite with rapper Drake and Travis Scott.

He was offered about $30 million to stream exclusively on Microsoft's platform Mixer. He agreed. After the shutdown of Mixer he was released from his deal and he went back to Twitch. So it was a very profitable deal. The offers when you are famous are enormous. He was offered $1 million for just saying that there is a new game.

Of course, there are some disadvantages of being a famous streamer. For example people are trying to catch him ingame just to kill him. It's called stream sniping. When this happened four times in a row, he said he wont play Fortnite anymore.
