TSM\u2019s Myth and other Fortnite pros call out Epic Games for having a double standard for Ninja Several popular Fortnite professional players, including Team SoloMid team captain Myth, are accusing developer Epic Games of having a double standard when it comes to Twitch superstar Ninja. Myth took to social media on December 11 to complain about what he feels is favoritism being shown when it comes to Ninja compared to other popular Fortnite competitors and content creators. He specifically pointed out that Ninja was being highlighted excessively during the first heat of the semi-finals of the $1 million Winter Royale tournament, even during moments that were not significant to the overall outcome. Both Myth and Ninja played in the semi-final and neither was able to qualify for the grand final, but Myth\u2019s major contention after the competition was with the production team.

There\u2019s legit a really shitty double standard for him when to comes to what the production teams shows,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cI would rather watch people rotating and not someone just getting sniper simply because they have a name.\u201d I would rather watch people rotating and not someone just getting sniped simply because they have a name. \u2014 Myth (@TSM_Myth) December 11, 2018 Team Liquid\u2019s Vivid, another participant in the first heat, also chimed in with his own two cents: \u201cEven the casters noticed this by saying \u2018production team has no chill.\u2019 Annoying in my opinion as well.\u201d CounterLogic Gaming pro Wish felt like the issue went beyond just Ninja, and that the idea of taking attention away from important in-game moments is a problem. \u201cThere\u2019s a really consistent tendency of the camera swapping away from fights just to replay a big name death,\u201d he said. \u201cLiterally kills the fluidity in the broadcast. If there\u2019s action, stay, show everything else AFTER as a recap.\u201d Myth later made it clear that his comments were not aimed at Ninja in any way, but rather the team handling the on-screen production of the Winter Royale tournament. As for Ninja\u2019s response, the popular streamer simply quoted Myth\u2019s original tweet with the \u201cthinking face\u201d emoji, which does not reveal much about what he\u2019 thinks of Myth\u2019s comments or the validity of his accusations. Whether or not the Epic Games will adjust their production strategy based on what Myth is accusing remains to be seen, but there is little reason to doubt what these pro players are claiming. Ninja is the biggest name in online gaming, and especially Fortnite, so it\u2019s hard to blame the producers for wanting to give the superstar as much screen-time as possible. However, there is also some stock in what Myth and the pros are contending, in that no popular figure, not even Ninja, should be taking attention away from important moments of the competition, especially when the high profile players can just be highlighted in a post-game recap anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
