Ninja teaches Ellen to play Fortnite, it's not going well

Tyler "Ninja" Blevins has attracted attention and a lot of attention earlier this year when he spent time spreading Fortnite with Drake. But now it has really become mainstream. Today, he played his signature game with Ellen.

This is not technically streaming, but rather an appearance on the Ellen show. The actual game segment is brief, and they play the game on PlayStation 4, but the set is cute, and more importantly, it reflects Fortnite's continued integration and the appeal of Ninja players. Ellen pretends to know nothing about Fortnite (at least in part for her comic effect, I'm sure), but the audience clearly knows her guest.

Despite his tutelage and his enthusiasm on stage for his performance, their team is not a success: when Ninja began shooting other players, Ellen convinced him to try his luck. He was quickly killed and she followed soon after. They finished in 21st place.

"You came to play Fortnite with me and I did not learn anything," Ellen admitted when everything was over. Hey, at least she did better than Adam Driver. (And was more funny, too.)

This appearance does not exactly represent a change in Ninja 's attitude about streaming with women, but it is nonetheless encouraging to see the person most followed by Twitch on screen with a beloved celebrity. Earlier this year, Ninja talked about her decision to completely avoid party to women. "If I have a conversation with a female streamer where we play, and even if there's a hint of flirtation, that's going to be taken and put on every video and will be clickbait forever," Blevins said. at Polygon in August. "The only way to avoid that [gossip] is not to play with them at all … Although some people have implied that my point of view is against playing with women, I want to make it clear that the problem I'm dealing with is online harassment and my attempt to minimize it. of our life.
