Tyler "Ninja" Blevins revealed he is returning to Fortnite competitive play just days before the Fortnite Champion Series: Chapter 2 Season 1 kicks off, and he's part of a four-man squad that has the esports community buzzing.
Ninja will partner with longtime duo Malachi "Reverse2k" Greiner, with whom he attempted to qualify for the Fortnite World Cup finals throughout 2019. The duo ultimately missed the cut by one point.
The pair will team with FaZe Clan stars Nate Hill and Trevor "FunkBomb" Siegler. Hill recently confirmed the squad in a social media post on Tuesday.
Ninja and his new team will face off against some of the world's top Fortnite professionals including Fortnite World Cup singles champion Kyle "Bugha" Giersdorf and Team Liquid's entire Fortnite roster.
The first week of the $5 million FNCS begins Friday. The season finals are set for Dec. 6-8.
