Ninja left speechless after thinking Fortnite put a Summit1G skin in the game *Updated* Top Twitch streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins appeared bemused and somewhat upset when he realized that a new Fortnite skin could be inspired by fellow streamer Summit1G. It has now transpired that the \u2018Summit Striker\u2019 skin wasn\u2019t made for Summit1G, but the Twitch streamers brand colors do feature on the skin, as does a large \u2018G\u2019 on the characters chest. Added with the obvious link between the name \u2018Summit Striker\u2019 and Summit1G, the signs all seem to point at least some inspiration, as DrLupo pointed out to Ninja. Ninja had been rocking the new skin when it released as part of the new starter pack, but hadn\u2019t seemed to realize any possible connection. When DrLupo pointed it out to him, namely that it has a \u201cG\u201d on the chest, Ninja was in disbelief: \u201cno it doesn\u2019t \u2013 oh my god, it does. What?\u201d, then reading the description \u2018Always first to the top\u2019, he asks \u201care you serious?\u201d After Ninja goes completely silent, DrLupo asks \u201cdo you want to talk about\u201d, which he dismisses with a quick \u201cno\u201d. At this point, Ninja was totally convinced that the skin is in fact inspired by Summit1G, and is unsure how he should react. \u201cWow. wow. They gave Summit1G a skin in the game. How am I supposed to feel about that?\u201d Although there is certainly a \u2018G\u2019 which resembles the font of Summit1G\u2019s logo, Epic Games confirmed that it wasn\u2019t anything to do with the streamer. Summit1G himself hasn\u2019t promoted the skin in anyway or thanked Epic Games for its inclusion, further confirming the lack of link. In fact, Summit1G hasn\u2019t even played Fortnite in some time, and has been playing rival battle royale \u2018Blackout\u2019, in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, instead. Ninja on the other hand has been the front runner in Fortnite streaming really since the beginning of the game\u2019s popularity, and so if there was ever a streamer worthy of their own skin, Ninja\u2019s name would undoubtedly be top of the list. Ninja did however get a pickaxe in the game inspired by him, called the \u2018Plunja\u2019, after he jokingly asked for it on stream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
