Tyler "Ninja" Belvins is known as one of the most popular Fortnite Battle Royale players in the world, as the Twitch and YouTube star has gained a massive following playing the high-profile battle royale title. Being a very talented player in his own right, Ninja has been competing in the Fortnite World Cup Qualifiers in order to secure a spot in the $30,000,000 Fortnite World Cup Finals. With Ninja being such a high-profile player, it is only natural for the community to wonder if the streamer will indeed qualify through one of the competition's Qualifiers with their end approaching soon. This curiosity has led to many individuals asking one question.
Did Ninja Qualify for the Fortnite World Cup?
UPDATE: 6/21/2019 - 5:12 PM PST
After the last two weeks of qualifying action, Ninja was not able to qualify for the $30,000,000 Fortnite World Cup Finals.

And thank you @FortniteGame for the opportunity.
Original Story
There has been a total of eight weeks of Qualifiers for the Fortnite World Cup with four having been focused on solo players and the other four having been focused on duos competing together. Unfortunately for Ninja, he has yet to qualify for the $30,000,000 Finals of the competition through its first eight weeks.
This lacking to qualify for the Fortnite World Cup as of yet has led to Ninja to try to be able to compete in the upcoming Celebrity Pro-Am tournament for the battle royale title taking place later this month and also qualify during the last set of qualifying action. According to a report by Dexerto, Ninja revealed to fellow streamer Ben "DrLupo" Lupo that he was working to be able to partake in the Celebrity Pro-Am event in a way that would allow him to also compete and qualify in Week 10 of the Fortnite World Cup Qualifiers that are taking place on the same day.
With there only being two weeks of Qualifiers left for the Fortnite World Cup, Ninja only has two opportunities left to qualify for the highly anticipated Finals of the competition and put himself into position to secure a share of the lucrative $30,000,000 prize pool. This chance to qualify could be in jeopardy, however, due to his involvement with the Celebrity Pro-Am event. Would you rather see Ninja compete in the Celebrity Pro-Am event or in the last week of qualifying action for the $30,000,000 Cup Finals? Let us know in the comments below!
