NICKMERCS and Ninja recall when they almost fought over a Halo match Popular Twitch streamers Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins and Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff have a longer history than some fans may know, recalling the time that they almost physically fought over a Halo gamebattles match. Both Ninja and NICKMERCS were formerly competitive players in Halo and Gears of War respectively, and so their \u201cfriendship\u201d dates back over a decade. During a live stream on December 22, NICKMERCS reminisced on just how long he had known Ninja, well before the streaming days, and how their first encounter was not a friendly one. 700NICKMERCS and his team were up against Ninja and his in an online GameBattles match of Halo, which Ninja\u2019s team won handedly \u2013 prompting some trash talk in the lobby. \u201c[Ninja]\u2019s really good at talking shit,\u201d NICKMERCS explained, \u201che\u2019ll full send it on you, he\u2019ll get right under your skin real quick. Now he doesn\u2019t do this anymore, but if you guys watched him in the past, this guy, man he was good. He just gets right under there and pisses me off.\u201d Never one to backdown, Kolcheff recalls that he was so mad, screaming down the microphone saying \u201cbro, you cannot talk to me like that. You\u2019re going to the event that we\u2019re all going to in a month, and I\u2019m telling you, shut your fucking mouth, or that\u2019s it. He would not stop talking.\u201d Later in the same stream, NICKMERCS and Ninja were playing Fortnite together, and Ninja remembered the whole situation, and even attending the event. Doing his best NICKMERCS impression, Ninja recalled how he and his squad almost got into a brawl \u2013 all over the GameBattles match. \u201c[NICK] walks up to our entire squad as we\u2019re walking into the venue, and kind of pushes us like \u2018You wanna go?\u2019 We were like \u2018Bro, chill, it\u2019s GameBattles’\u201d, Ninja said, before impersonating Nick again: \u201cYou can\u2019t talk trash online and not back it up baby!\u201d Whatever their past grievances, the pair have since reconciled, and NICKMERCS says they have always been friends and respected each other from afar, congratulatory on Ninja\u2019s success. Ninja has seriously toned down the aggression and language used on his channel, since his rise to becoming the most popular streamer on Twitch in 2018, aware of his younger audience demographic. However, old clips of his trash talking abilities still circle online, with some brutal roasts coming from the now most popular gamer in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
