Tyler “Ninja” Blevins isn’t really known for being humble and it looks like the gaming community is getting sick of his flexes. On Twitter, Ninja shared his most-recent gaming achievement, saying: “First official H1Z1 tourney – 1st.
“First official PUBG tourney – 1st.
“First official Fortnite tourney – 1st.
“First official APEX tourney – 1st.”
Unfortunately, the tweet is now overloaded with negative comments about the pro streamer, with many people dismissing his victories with a simple: “weird flex but okay.”
Weird flex but okay

It all started when DrLupo jokingly responded to the tweet with the phrase, but it then escalated into some serious hate for Ninja. Some people are even saying Ninja’s list of successes isn’t actually correct, claiming that fellow player Dizzy helped the streamer.

Ninja isn’t exactly the most popular name in the online gaming community. The superstar Fortnite player has made huge leaps in the industry and is a key figure in the effort to get esports recognised as a legitimate sport, but he’s been heavily criticised in the past for reckless comments and flaunting his status.
That is acually the saddest flex i’ve seen

With gamers shifting their attentions from Fortnite to the newly-released Apex Legends, it’s going to be interesting to see whether Ninja’s success also shifts, or if it’s time for a new battle royale pro to take the stage…
