Ninja lashes out at Reverse2k for teasing him over Mixer move Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins and Malachi \u2018Reverse2k\u2019 Greiner have butted heads while grinding Fortnite, after the latter sparked the heated exchange by bringing up Mixer as the pair joked about \u201crespect\u201d with Tim \u2018TimTheTatman\u2019 Betar. As four of the biggest Fortnite streamers around right now, the squad normally go quite well in-game, and usually pair the battle royale gameplay with a hefty helping of lighthearted and entertaining banter at each other as they play. During their January 2 grind, however, Reverse2k seemed to hit a nerve when he brought Ninja\u2019s move to Mixer into the discussion. Ninja, who moved to Microsoft\u2019s streaming service in August, lashed out, demanding an apology. The four streamers were joking about paying taxes, with TimTheTatman flexing his \u201cdecade of streaming\u201d to call for respect from Reverse. Ninja weighed in on Tim\u2019s side, suggesting there was \u201cno reason\u201d to respect younger streamers if they \u201cdidn\u2019t have respect for us\u201d \u2013 all in jest, of course \u2013 until the Mixer star added the youngsters were trying to \u201ctake territory.\u201d \u201cDude, we\u2019re not coming into Mixer,\u201d Reverse fired back, apparently of the opinion he was just adding into the jokes the team had been laughing about. Ninja didn\u2019t exactly see it that way, and snapped, lashing out at the Twitch streamer. \u201cThat\u2019s not even funny, you\u2019re trying to make it f***ing personal dude,\u201d Ninja suggested in an annoyed tone. Reverse disagreed, but Ninja wasn\u2019t convinced. \u201cShut up bro\u2026 bringing up the specific platform in this discussion is irrelevant\u2026 do it again, I can\u2019t wait,\u201d Ninja replied. \u201cYou think you\u2019re so clever!\u201d The Mixer star added that he didn\u2019t see any reason for Reverse to have even touched on his Mixer move. They had been talking taxes, not platforms, and he seemed offended he\u2019d been singled out from the Twitch stars he was playing with. \u201cI will apologize to you right now if you tell me why you said that,\u201d he continued. \u201cTell me why you brought up Mixer right then. Tell me! You didn\u2019t bring it up for any reason whatever except to try and insult me as if moving here is a bad decision.\u201d \u201cWhy did you bring it up?\u201d he added, before repeating the question. The group sat in awkward silence for a moment, continuing to loot in Fortnite, before TimTheTatman interjected with his own thoughts on Reverse\u2019s comments. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s that deep bro, it was just a bit of playful banter,\u201d he said, clearly attempting to break the tension. Ninja seemed on the warpath though, and added one final barb about Reverse \u201calways bringing up Mixer\u201d before falling silent. The squad of streamers didn\u2019t touch on the topic again as they continued to play, but the damage was already done \u2013 Ninja seemed to be silently seething, while the others awkwardly returned to their conversations. The explosive confrontation also seemed to call time on the four playing together for the evening, as they played out a few more games with communications kept to a bare minimum, before some logged off and others changed games. This isn\u2019t the first time recently that Ninja has become embroiled in an argument either, though his tiff with Reverse probably isn\u2019t at the same level as his ongoing feud with Twitch streamer Brett \u2018Dakotaz\u2019 Hoffman. Ninja called the Fortnite streamer out for \u201ctalking sh*t\u201d about the battle royale, and two have been duking it out on social media ever since. And at the end of the day, while Ninja may get a little defensive over Mixer being brought up by his Twitch teammates, he may have the last laugh. According to reports, he and fellow convert Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek are set to make as much as $40 million over the next three to five years, so it\u2019s not like he\u2019s having a bad time with the Microsoft streaming platform, financially at least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
