Blevins started playing video games at a young age, with his two older brothers. “My dad actually was the main influence,” Blevins explained on the Twitch stream “Walshy’s Halo History.” “He loved video games when they started to come out and he would purchase them ‘for us,’ but really we would go to bed around as early as you can imagine when we were little, 6 p.m., 7 p.m., 8 p.m. He would play on the consoles until 2 or 3 a.m. in the morning.”
Ninja had a passion for gaming and started playing professionally in the year 2009 one of the famous games at that time HALO 3. He started playing for different organizations like Cloud9, Team liquid etc. He then started playing Player unknown battleground Commonly known as PUBG.
He also won the PUBG event which was the Gamescom Invitational Squads classification in August 2017. After that, he started continuing playing other games but what he didn’t know the game he will start playing next will change his entire career.
