Is Ninja moving to YouTube? Deleted test stream sparks rumors Ninja, YouTube[jwplayer Y7PB7YwV]After the surprise shutdown of streaming platform Mixer in mid-June, fans have been curious about the future of its biggest broadcasters \u2014 but a deleted YouTube test stream from Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins could point at his forthcoming plans. In a massive shock to fans and streamers alike, Mixer announced its unexpected shutdown and merged with Facebook Gaming on June 22, following accusations of racism against the company from one of its employees. Amid the varied reactions online, many viewers eyed potential moves from Mixers biggest stars, Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins and Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek, who had notably broken off from Twitch to join its competitor. While both broadcasters claiming they were \u201cfiguring out\u201d their next steps in regards to their streaming careers, some fans are predicting that Ninja will move to YouTube, thanks to a now-deleted scheduled \u201ctest\u201d stream. I love my community and what we built together on Mixer. I have some decisions to make and will be thinking about you all as I make them. \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) June 22, 2020 Fans took notice of Blevins\u2019 scheduled tester via his YouTube channel on July 7, which was set for 11:32 AM that day. However, shortly after a screenshot of the test went viral online, he deleted the stream, leading viewers across the net to speculate a forthcoming announcement of his affiliation with the platform. \u201cNinja most likely signed to YouTube,\u201d tweeted prominent Fortnite dataminer HYPEX. \u201cHe currently has a test stream scheduled, probably didn\u2019t mean to make it public but this is a huge hint.\u201d Ninja most likely signed to youtube, he currently has a test stream scheduled, probably didn’t mean to make it public but this is a huge hint.. pic.twitter.com\/e4bd6lhD8M \u2014 HYPEX (@HYPEX) July 7, 2020 This isn\u2019t totally out of the blue either; Ninja\u2019s wife and manager, Jessica Blevins, put out a tweet the night before teasing that some sort of news or announcement would be coming \u201cthis week,\u201d so the appearance of this test stream might be the first phase of that process. This wouldn\u2019t be the first time a huge name in the streaming scene has signed with YouTube, by far; 100 Thieves\u2019 Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop joined the platform in November 2019, followed by YouTube giant Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg six months later. With Mixer having shut down and streamers moving left and right from Twitch, Ninja\u2019s possible move to YouTube isn\u2019t completely out of the question \u2014 but keep in mind, this is mere conjecture, as Blevins has yet to comment on the matter at the time of writing. For now, all fans can do is watch and wait as one of broadcasting\u2019s biggest stars finds a new home.
