Is Ninja Still Sponsored By Redbull? – Celebrity

Red Bull has signed Twitch streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins as an endorser. The brand leveraged the announcement to promote a unique Fortnite tournament. The event’s unique scoring format could be influential in Fortnite ’s development as an esport.

Red Bull has sponsored one of the most popular streamers in the world and revealed an upcoming Fortnite: Battle Royale tournament. Twitch star Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is the newest gamer to join the Red Bull team, the energy drink company announced earlier today via Twitter.

Who is the Red Bull streamer?

Red Bull is using a new endorsement deal with Twitch’s most popular streamer, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, to promote the brand’s dive into hosting Fortnite tournaments.

Red Bull Rise Till Dawn, taking place on the building’s 99th floor, will start as soon as the sun sets on July 21 and continue throughout the night as teams of two battle to accumulate the most points possible before the sun rises over Lake Michigan.

As a part of Red Bull activating its sponsorship of Blevins, anyone who eliminates Blevins in a game will be awarded extra points. This hybrid scoring format could serve as a guinea pig for future Fortnite esports events as Epic Games plans next year’s World Cup.
