Tyler Blevins Career
Blevins, an internet sensation, has truly transformed his skill and passion into a well-paid career, but only with a lot of hard work, determination, grit, and, of course, talent. His handsome income may appear surprising given that he earns it solely by playing video games, but he has worked hard to become the most popular streamer on Amazon-owned gaming platform Twitch, which explains the returns. However, it is surprising to learn that Blevins does not promote professional gaming as a viable career path for every child! Blevins’ journey from ‘leisure’ video game player to professional gamer has piqued my interest and admiration. Few people can claim to have turned their pastime or hobby into a profession.
Blevins first competed in a Halo 3 event in Orlando in 2009, where he had limited success. He realized almost immediately that the road to victory would not be easy. To win money from tournaments, he had to outperform hundreds of thousands of other players. Though the task was difficult, his love of challenges and desire to be the best at whatever he did propelled him forward. He’d already played for Cloud9, Renegades, and Team Liquid, among other notable e-sports organizations. Blevins began streaming for Justin.tv in 2011, but soon switched to Twitch.tv. His team won the Halo 4 2012 MGL Fall Championships in 2012, with Blevins scoring the highest in the final game.
Blevins joined Luminosity Gaming as a Halo player in 2017. Later, he switched to Battlegrounds and won the PUBG Gamescom Invitational in the 3rd Person Squads category. By the time he started streaming Fortnite on a regular basis, his viewership had skyrocketed, directly proportional to the game’s popularity. When he had about 500,000 followers in September 2017, the number had increased by 250 percent by March 2018. Simultaneously, he broke the Twitch.tv record for a single individual stream while playing Fortnite, after hosting a game with Drake, Travis Scott, and Juju Smith-Schuster. The following month, he broke his own viewing record with an audience of 667,000 live viewers at his event Ninja Vegas 2018.
