Tyler Blevins, also known by his online alias Ninja, is one of the biggest streamers on the purple platform Twitch. The Halo-turned Fortnite streamer has had a busy start to the year. First, he had to contend with the sparks from the Pokimane-JiDion controversy that made its way to his doors, and shortly after, his wife Jessica Blevins announced her intentions to step down from the role of Ninja’s manager.

Is Ninja joining 100 Thieves?

Tyler sure loves teasing his fanbase, because this tweet is all they have to go off of at the moment. The streamer has provided no details surrounding this endeavor and what it means for his future going forward. This clearly hints at some form of collaboration between the two entities, but the details remain murky.

Fans speculate that streaming’s poster boy could finally join an organization after years of staying independent. Compounding these rumors is Jessica’s decision to focus on her own career, and Ninja himself putting the words in his community’s mouth with a tweet on February 9.

Teasing an upcoming vlog on his second channel Ninja Extended with the cast of 100 Thieves, Ninja tagged 100 Thieves co-owner and CEO, Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag. Notably, this is not the first time rumors of Ninja getting associated with the organization have popped up. In 2020, rumors of Ninja joining 100 Thieves were fanned by Hiko himself.

But that turned out to be a dud, as Ninja confirmed likewise. However, would Ninja upturn his decision and become a part of the organization? There’s a slim chance of that happening.

As Ninja teased in the snippet from his vlog and the behind-the-scenes footage from The Courage & Nadeshot show, this could be a simple collaboration the likes of which fans see on YouTube.

But if Ninja were to join 100 Thieves, he could take a similar route to the likes of Valkyrae and Courage, and become a co-owner, instead of becoming a fledgling member.
