On Sunday, 17th of June, Ninja dominated through his regular Sunday Stream. But rather than play his classic Pon Pon Dance celebration after his first victory, he played a short teaser of himself putting on his brand new Red Bull headband. When the camera got back to Ninja, he had changed into his Red Bull attire in person. And thus he announced his partnership with Red Bull.

I've been wanting this for 8 years, sniffing around their headquarters

It is with great honour that we get to join forces with such a skilled, promising esport and gaming talent, and above all, a great person. We've been looking forward to this moment for quite some time now. What makes us even happier though is the fact that Tyler 'Ninja' Blevins has had his eyes on us for quite some time, almost 8 years in fact. He's been lurking around our headquarters and dreaming about the day he'll get to do fantastic work together with us. It's quite tear-jerking and we're so happy that we found each other at last.

I love Red Bull, and all they're doing!

Apart from announcing the partnership, Ninja also announced the Red Bull Rise Till Dawn competition. The dusk-to-dawn Fortnite Battle Royale duo contest will be taking place on the 99th floor of Chicago’s famed Willis Tower on 21st July.

Ninja will be competing with a teammate of his choosing in the scoring-based tournament. The competition will start as soon as the sun sets in Chicago and continue until the sun rises over Lake Michigan the next morning.

Those who wish to catch the action can do so on Ninja’s Twitch page, starting at 6:30 am Indian Standard Time on July 21.
