Ninja Accidentally Kills Teammate JoshOG With Frag Grenade in PGI Charity Showdown

Friday, July 27th saw the PUBG Global Invitational 2018 $1,000,000 Charity Showdown take place in Berlin, Germany.

Taking place between the $1,000,000 third person perspective PUBG Global Invitational 2018 tournament and the $1,000,000 first person perspective tournament of the event, the PUBG Global Invitational 2018 Charity Showdown featured 40 high profile streamers and 40 professional players that are competing at the PUBG Global Invitational 2018 teaming up. The 20 teams of four players (2 streamers and 2 professional players) played four first person perspective matches on the map of Erangel to decided who would take home the lion's share of the $1,000,000 prize pool for their charity of choice.

However, during one of the matches Tyler "Ninja" Belvins accidentally killed his teammate of Josh "JoshOG" Beaver with a frag grenade. 

JoshOG had been knocked down by an enemy player and was in need of assistance from Ninja and the duo's teammates of Team Gates players Tyler “Mossy” Moss and Brandon “Mortify” Lewis. Looking to provide some cover and protect JoshOG from the eyes of their enemies, Ninja decided to throw out a smoke grenade in order to provide an opportunity for his team to heal their fallen teammate.

Unfortunately for Ninja, the grenade that he had thrown right at the body of JoshOG was a lethal frag grenade and not a smoke grenade, which went on to fully kill JoshOG and eliminate him from the match. 

The aftermath of the hilarious blunder by Ninja consisted of JoshOG being in disbelief that Ninja had just killed him with a Frag Grenade, while Ninja stated that he had sworn he had equipped a smoke grenade before tossing the item at JoshOG.

The two popular Twitch streamers went on to have some fun banter with one another regarding the infamous grenade kill that Ninja collected against JoshOG in the PUBG Global Invitational $1,000,000 Charity Showdown.

While Ninja accidentally killing JoshOG with a frag grenade in hilarious fashion was not the outcome the two streamers and their Team Gates teammates were likely hoping for, the four players were able to find a good deal of success during the PUBG Global Invitational Charity Showdown. The team was able to secure a victory in match three of the event with Ninja securing a kill against talented and popular PUBG streamer Michael "shroud" Grzesiek. 

However, the infamous smoke and frag grenade mishap at the PUBG Global Invitational 2018 by Ninja will likely be remembered for some time in the Twitch streamer Hall of Fame for hilarious fails.
