Ninja, TSM Myth and Nadeshot Defend KEEMSTAR\u2019s Friday Fortnite Tournament After Di3sel Criticism Ninja, Twitch\/Nadeshot, TwitterA number of high profile streamers and YouTubers including Ninja, TSM\u2019s Myth and 100 Thieves owner Nadeshot, have spoken up in defense of the Friday Fortnite tournament hosted by KEEMSTAR. Despite the tournament\u2019s success, organizer Daniel \u201cKEEMSTAR\u201d Keem was criticized following the conclusion of the second iteration on May 18th. Popular streamer Mike \u201cDi3sel\u201d Carr questioned KEEMSTAR\u2019s suitability as the \u2018public face\u2019 of the tournament, saying he is \u2018toxic.\u2019 More: Ninja Goes Off For Insane 23 Kill Round Against FaZe In KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite $10,000 Tournament – KEEMSTAR quickly fired back, explaining that his hosting of the tournament was done with purely good intentions in order to grow the competitive Fortnite scene and promote the many top streamers and YouTubers taking part. And now, some of the most high profile of these participants have also come to KEEMSTAR\u2019s defense. Owner of esports organization 100 Thieves Matthew \u201cNadeshot\u201d Haag was first to stand up for KEEM\u2019s involvement in the Friday Fortnite tournament. Keemstar did a great job putting all of this together. Lot of moving parts, lots of different types of content creators but they were all brought together through Fortnite. Everything that has happened has been nothing but positivity except these negative tweets. \u2014 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) May 19, 2018 One of the biggest individual names in gaming at the moment and all he does is preach positivity and kindness to the entire community. The kid literally played in the tournament because I asked him to. A COMPETITIVE fortnite player played in a tournament. Wow. That\u2019s wild. \u2014 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) May 19, 2018 Shortly after, TSM Fortnite player Ali \u201cMyth\u201d Kabbani also contributed to the debate, explaining that the situation was not \u2018black and white\u2019, and that there is no personal connection implied by participation in the tournament. I’m sure that I can find a couple brands in all of our closets that use underpaid mistreated sweatshop workers to create the products you wear. But I’m also pretty sure we are all against treatment like that in general. Its not as black and white as you make it seem. \u2014 Myth @ EDC instead of playing the new LTM (@TSM_Myth) May 19, 2018 The thing is that we aren’t getting close with shit, the closest we are getting to Keem is letting him and the management know our roster and if we won or loss a match. There is no personal connection we are making or kicking it back with Keem. \u2014 Myth @ EDC instead of playing the new LTM (@TSM_Myth) May 19, 2018 Finally, the most popular Fortnite streamer and former professional esports player, Tyler \u201cNinja\u201d Blevins, attempted to calm the situation. Explaining that regardless of Di3sel\u2019s personal issues with KEEMSTAR, the tournament was nothing but positive. Diesel\u2026 first off keem maybe messed up in the past but he owned up to it and apologized. He has done nothing wrong and has provided AMAZING entertainment to MILLIONS with this fun Friday tournament. He was driven, wanted to do it and got it done RIGHT. Just respect it, move on. \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) May 19, 2018 The Friday Fortnite tournament is set to take place once again this coming week, on Friday May 25th.
