CouRage Will Be Casting Ninja's Las Vegas Fortnite Event
By Nicholas Barth ·
The former Call of Duty caster has announced that he will be returning to the world of casting for the Esports Arena Las Vegas Fortnite Battle Royale Tournament hosted by Tyler "Ninja" Belvins
Jack "CouRage" Dunlop began his career in esports as a fan favorite caster in professional Call of Duty who brought unmatched levels of excitement to broadcasts. After working as part of the broadcast team for the Call of Duty World League (CWL) for several years, CouRage announced his retirement from full time casting after Stage One of the CWL season for Call of Duty: WWII.
Moving into the world of content creation, the former caster quickly became one of the biggest names on Twitch and YouTube when it comes to Fortnite Battle Royale, which soon led to him joining OpTic Gaming's content creation team. However, a return to the microphone is in the future for CouRage as he announced today that he will be casting the upcoming Fortnite tournament taking place at the Esports Arena Las Vegas, which will be featuring famous Fortnite streamer Tyler "Ninja" Belvins as the main competitor.
Super excited to announce I'll be casting @Ninja's event at the Esports Arena Las Vegas next weekend!
