Ninja's Past Deals

Ninja started his career in streaming video games almost 10 years ago and it all started from Twitch. In 2019, he decided to make a move to Microsoft's streaming platform Mixer, which sparked a race between all the streaming platforms to get the iconic streamers to their platforms. Mixer couldn't survive the competition and got shut down in July. 

Ninja has a vast following, with 15M followers on twitch and 24M subscribers on YouTube. His contract with Adidas really pushed him ahead. He is also the only player to receive his own skin in Fortnite, the game he is most famous for streaming. He is due to get his own skin in Fall Guys too.
