Pokimane reveals crucial details on Ninja quitting streaming during a Fortnite game

In case anyone missed to keep a track, Ninja was playing a Fortnite match alongside his friend, SypherPK. While chasing down an opponent, he used a Nimbus cloud to reach to the enemy and kill them. However, the other player decided to run away and escaped using the Rift-To-Go utility. It’s something that allows one to make quick escapes while getting teleported into the sky.

Upon witnessing this, Ninja became highly angry. So much so that he immediately decided to just quite the match. Not only that, he even made an exit from streaming altogether. Shortly after ending his livestream, he shared a tweet to inform that he wants to take a break for a while from everything.
