Twitch unfeatures Fortnite streamer after mentioning Ninja clips L: Ninja R: Epic GamesFortnite streamer Marcus \u2018Ranger\u2019 Pereira was cut off from the official Twitch broadcast of the dark hole event after encouraging people to watch Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2018 Blevins. Ninja switched from Twitch to Mixer in August, and while the Amazon-owned platform has said that there are no hard feelings, their handling of their former star streamer has been criticized in the past, most recently when his channel was being used to broadcast adult content. So it is possible that Twitch wouldn\u2019t appreciate a player on their official broadcast telling viewers to watch another streamer on a rival platform. It all took place when Fortnite streamer Ranger was streaming the dark hole event and was randomly selected by the official Twitch channel to be featured on their broadcast. For many streamers, being featured on a major broadcast like that \u2013 which has remained on over 50,000 viewers since it went live \u2013 is a big deal. However, Ranger\u2019s time was shortlived after he joked about watching a Ninja clip while waiting for Fortnite to come back online. Ranger explained what happened when he suggested his viewers watch a Ninja video on YouTube. \u201cI\u2019m watching YouTube videos because of Fortnite downtime and Twitch\u2019s channel randomly started playing my stream,\u201d he said. \u201cI said we should watch a Ninja video then they turned me off.\u201d I\u2019m watching YouTube videos because of fortnite down time and twitchs channel randomly started playing my stream and I said we should watch a @Ninja video then they turned me off LMAOOOOOO \u2014 Ranger :jack_o_lantern::skull: (@RangerMJP) October 14, 2019 Ranger was able to play it off as a harmless decision on Twitch\u2019s part, and it\u2019s entirely possible that it was a simple coincidence and Twitch\u2019s hosting could have been running on an algorithm that automatically switched to other streams. However, it did happen so quickly after he mentioned Ninja\u2019s name.

On top of that, he\u2019s no slouch in the competitive Fortnite scene either, earning over $30,000 in prize money since the game\u2019s debut.
