      Yeah I know it's insane. I've been watching him since 2011 & I cant believe this is the same guy, so much success. Happy for him but i don't watch anymore. Can't get into Fortnite.

  • @akovarick
    @akovarick 6 лет назад +345

    This interview is terrible. He's not getting bro-to-bro with Ninja. Hes literally reading his pre-written questions from before the interview. What makes an interview interesting is the interviewer's ability to build on and be interested in what the interviewee is actually into. Before he asks the question he already knows the answer.. Look at Nojumper or Joe Rogan for an example. You can do better ESPN.

      I respectfully disagree, obviously ESPN had a mandated no. Of questions that they needed to be asked, plus it's not like ninja is coming there for free and ESPN sure as hell ain't paying ninja some ridiculous sum of money just for the reporter to go "bro-to-bro". Plus you have got to keep in mind that this is how most professional sports interviews go. I personally just love the fact that the camera never cut during the entire video. Give it a raw feel.

    • @thecampfire4877
      @thecampfire4877 6 лет назад +23

      Panda Elite Squad I disagree...it certainly helped. But as someone that has been watching Ninja for years, he had hundreds of thousands of viewers daily, for months and months before that. I'd say from around the time that Fortnite blew up, and everyone started making/watching those fortnite highlight videos, he was in each one like 10x. I think those RUclips replay made him bigger than Drake, without the news-worthy headline.

    • @bigballaz30

  • @AndrewLeonard46
    @AndrewLeonard46 6 лет назад +7

    People of outside world wouldn’t realize but the numbers he does with views is insane. He surpassed every streamer and that’s amazing athlete or not. I don’t think gaming is a sport, but it’s a subcategory, I would definitely watch fortnite on espn tho no cap.

  • @McDaimos
    @McDaimos 6 лет назад +13

    They state that he lost 40.000 subs or so because he did not stream for 2 days. I think Ninja is such a big name now, that he could just stream his life and people would still be watching. He could make live-vlogs of his trips to tournaments or whatever, tweet about it, make youtube videos about and post about in on instagram. He has becaome a fully-feldged influencer.

    Ninja deserves every bit of his success. He truly is a top, top guy. You can just tell that he is authentic, a well balanced, down to Earth, thoughtful, good person who has a talent, who is making the most of that in a responsible way. I would like to see him take on ambassadorial roles in the future akin to that of people like Beckham to promote worthy causes. I think he could advocate environmental responsibility to the next generation. This is a big global issue that he could raise awareness and action on.

    Interviewer: if you're watching this, try to actually have a conversation rather than just firing questions. You'll get better answers and everything won't seem so forced. It can be hard to be interviewed and not get any feedback on what you're saying as the interviewee

    To all the people saying Chess and pool are a sport and this should also be considered a sport 1st of all many don’t recognized as a sport in many counties it don’t get public funding also I just think that you guys are usually the ones was that just spent too much time playing video games And want to give weight and purpose to your hobby also Yes. I know professional gamers exercise to improve their thinking and general stamina. But it is not required at all in general. Physical fitness and development of some physical abilities is what separates sports from non sports. And not every physical activity is a sport of course. DEBATE OVER

    • @Sibwo
      @Sibwo 6 лет назад +6

      Magic Skills E-Sports are a multi-billion dollar industry and even though it’s in its infancy it is poised to over shadow “real sports” in less than a decade. Not to mention it takes years of practice to get to the pro level and even then most people don’t because pro league gamers have a much faster reaction time, if you would have bothered looking into it even a little bit you’d find out that the best teams in a pro league have their athletes go through physical activity regiments and strict diets so they are at the top of their game. Not to mention that your comparisons don’t really matter as we aren’t talking about a sport, we’re talking about an esport. The physical exertion of an American football player is no where near that of a 100 k runner, and the strength of a basketball player is nowhere near that of a professional power lifter, so if comparing those athletes to each other someone makes one or the other “not an athlete” (which it doesn’t Im only saying it to show how ridiculous the argument is) comparing a sports athlete to a esport athlete is just straight up retarded. They have nothing in common a sports athlete would get absolutely shat on in the world of esports and vice versa.

    • @tptCJ
      @tptCJ 6 лет назад +2

      The term "sport" is an old word that came from hunters killing animals simply for trophies rather than for food. It basically means that you do an activity where there is a winner like who killed the biggest deer or caught the biggest fish. Physical prowess has nothing to do with "sport". I mean, you can't just redefine the word "sport" or how people use it. Now, to become an organized sport, it just requires rules and balance like you see from other competitions.

    • @SuperSayinSolidSnek
      @SuperSayinSolidSnek 6 лет назад

      Exercising isn't necessary for any sport though... Babe Ruth would usually not even practice, let alone work out
      Edit: and if developing some physical abilities is required then video games have that also, aiming a mouse requires real physical action.
