The actual games were far different than anything we have seen from Ninja's stream before. Many of these players had flown out especially for this occasion, and a few were a few of the very best players on the planet. Ninja, an ex-Halo expert long before his Fortnite days, is extremely gifted, but this was far from his usual stomping of randoms on stream.
Ninja finished the evening with only one win from Fortnite Items two matches, though given his rivalry, that was still impressive (if Ninja won, money went to an Alzheimer charity), and he also had two second places. Afterwards, a participant called 4DRStormYT won, and once the camera panned to him it revealed a grinning 14 year old who had obviously just experienced the best moment of his life.
The only unfortunate turn of the evening was the performance of Myth, the fortnite traps second most popular Fortnite streamer after Ninja that attended the event and played three games in heat 3. After dying to collapse damage in match 1, Myth ended up perishing out the top 40 at the next two matches, a disappointing positioning both for him personally and fans who were expecting for epic moments such as a 1v1 Ninja Myth final showdown. And it was Myth's presence that arguably helped the flow break records.
The episode was hovering between 400,000 and 500,000 audiences most of the night, however when Myth started playing, it shot around 600,000, eventually topping out in the new album, 680,000.
