The rise of Tyler “Ninja” Blevins saw another milestone today as the Fortnite<\/em> streamer surpassed 200,000 subscribers on Twitch, continuing to break his own record in the process.<\/p>
The former Halo<\/em> and PUBG <\/em>pro’s stranglehold on the online gaming community has been something to behold over the past few months, as he has quadrupled his sub count from 50,000 just a month ago<\/a> on Feb. 22.<\/p>
Ninja reached 100,000 subs on March 3<\/a>, so it’s taken just 17 days for him to double his sub count since then. There’s no doubt that last week’s marathon stream with Drake<\/a> helped out with his exposure, but the increase is impressive nonetheless.<\/p>
Ninja was interviewed by CNBC<\/a> yesterday about his recent success. He did a fantastic job representing himself and gamers everywhere as a great ambassador for the industry. It was in that interview that he essentially confirmed that he makes $500,000 per month on Twitch, but that number is probably higher now.<\/p> <\/p>
