Summit1G reacts to Ninja believing Fortnite had given him a skin in the game summit1G \/ NinjaTwitch streamer Jaryd \u2018summit1g\u2019 Lazar couldn\u2019t contain his laughter as he watched fellow streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins in shock \u2013 believing Fortnite had given summit1G his own skin in the game. Ninja is of course the most popular Fortnite streamer, and has been for much of the game\u2019s popularity over the past 12 months, so was understandably surprised to see that a skin bearing summit1G\u2019s colors and a \u2018G\u2019 across the chest had been added. To make matters worse, the skin was called \u2018Summit Striker\u2019, and all of this combined left Ninja at a loss for words \u2013 even though in reality the skin had nothing to do with his fellow streamer. Epic Games later confirmed that despite the name and G on the chest, this similarities were mere coincidence, meaning Ninja\u2019s state of dismay was all over nothing. Summit1G, who woke up on Wednesday, November 7 to the surprise news that he had apparently been honored in the most popular game in the world, reacted on stream to Ninja\u2019s mistaken shock. Before watching the clip, Summit1G sarcastically responded to his chat \u201c\u2018Fortnite made you a skin\u2019 \u2013 I know dude, they hit me up and were like look, \u2018Ninja\u2019s been asking us for a skin, we want to just make him feel like shit, so we\u2019re going to give you a skin. Don\u2019t tell anybody, but it\u2019s low key you.’\u201d He then watched and reacted to Ninja\u2019s hilarious mix up on stream, laughing all the way at the shocked expression on the Fortnite streamers face, as DrLupo points out the likeness to Summit\u2019s logo. After watching Ninja\u2019s reaction, Summit1G complimented the skin, saying that if he ever comes back to Fortnite that will be the one he\u2019s rocking. However, it doesn\u2019t seem like he has any plans to return to the game any time soon, as he quickly hopped in to Call of Duty\u2019s Blackout \u2013 but did remind his viewers to use his name in the Support a Creator scheme, so he can get some kick back when they buy Fortnite\u2019s V-Bucks. Although Ninja is still patiently waiting for the day Epic Games finally decides to grant him his own skin in the game, he remains the only streamer to have ever had an item added specifically for them at their request. After he jokingly asked for it, Epic added a \u2018Plunja\u2019 pickaxe \u2013 a toilet plunger with a Katana through it \u2013 in his honor. Although Epic confirmed that the Summit Striker skin has nothing to do with summit1G, they have not ruled out the addition of streamer and YouTuber inspired skins. But, it could throw up issues around bias and favoritism, depending on who was given a skin and who wasn\u2019t, as well as royalties regarding whether the personalities themselves should receive a cut of the revenue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
