It’s just been days since a piece of shocking news befell the streaming community. Mixer shut down its operations, announcing a merger of sorts with Facebook gaming. As a result, everyone had one question on their minds- what happens to Ninja now? Ninja seems positive going forward as the streamer will be taking part in his first major Valorant tournament. 

Ninja to captain Valorant team

T1 on Twitter announced the news on Tuesday, June 23. Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins will take part in the T1 x NSG Valorant Showdown. The tournament will see Ninja leading his team as captain. Other team members include Greg “Grego” McAllen, Alex “LeX” Deily, Austin “Morgausse” Etue, and Michael “Sonii” Sherman.

Grego would be looking to kickstart his career in Valorant, whereas, Morgausse is fresh off from his Fortnite Summer Skirmish win. Certainly, LeX is a strong addition to the team as well. The veteran CS: GO and Call of Duty player has played a handful of tournaments and looks all set to conquer Valorant along with his new teammates. Team Ninja previously did play some matches together and looks like they’re in sync.

Ninja is well established in Fortnite and now he looks to make a mark in the new Valorant. The tournament is part of the Ignition Series that was recently announced for major regions. A major win would be a huge boost to the streamer. 

Where will Ninja settle?

Mixer closed down operations after a 3-year journey. The streaming platform was initially launched to take on the likes of Twitch but was unable to keep up with its rivals. Most importantly, they signed Ninja from Twitch for a record-breaking sum. Microsoft will now partner up with Facebook for its brand new ‘Facebook Gaming.’ 

Ninja did receive a hefty sum of $30 Million after Mixer was shut down. As of now, he is free to join anywhere. On his Twitter handle, he announced that he needs time to make his decision.

Whether Ninja will make the switch to Facebook Gaming is unknown at this point in time. If he does end up signing for them, it’d be a huge boost for the new streaming service. Where would you like to see Ninja?
