“Fortnite” is easily one of the most popular video games today, and gamer Tyler Blevins a.k.a. Ninja is definitely one of the best, if not the best, in playing the battle royale title. So when it was announced that Red Bull has sponsored an event that combines those two, it was not surprising that tickets sold out in a matter of minutes.
Red Bull confirmed that the registration to the Red Bull Rise Till Dawn event was immediately filled out shortly after Ninja’s announcement on Sunday, ESPN reported.
The announcement first arrived when a video teaser appeared on Twitter where Ninja is seen sporting a bandana filled with the Red Bull logo. Then more details about the event were provided by the prominent gamer through a Twitch stream.
Red Bull Rise Till Dawn begins on July 21 when, according to Red Bull, “the sun sets in the West.” The company further described the gaming event as a “dusk to dawn Fortnite Battle Royale duo competition” that will take place on the 99th floor of Willis Tower in Chicago, Illinois.
Red Bull confirmed it will be using a “unique scoring system” to determine who advances and wins the competition.
All players who have officially signed up for the competition can start playing all the matches they want to join at 8:21 p.m. Central Time until “the sun rises over Lake Michigan at 5:35 AM.”
At dawn, event organizers will tally the teams with the most number of kills and which got the top places from the all-nighter competition. Of course, Ninja is joining the event and players who manage to eliminate him will be rewarded.
“Competing and streaming Fortnite all night at the most iconic building in Chicago, a city close to my heart, is a dream come true,” Ninja said in a statement. “Red Bull Rise Till Dawn will be unlike any other tournament and something people need to see and experience for themselves.”
Meanwhile, Ninja will also choose a partner for the entire dusk-to-dawn gaming event. But that lucky person is yet to be named.
