Ninja and Travis Scott Help Gamer Reach Her Dreams in Fortnite Samsung Commercial
By Nicholas Barth ·
Popular stars Ninja and Travis Scott teamed up in a Samsung commercial showcasing one gamer's path to Fortnite glory.
Samsung has been at the forefront recently in pushing its Samsung Galaxy devices as the best mobile platform to play Fortnite Battle Royale on.
Through the recruitment of Fortnite superstar Tyler "Ninja" Belvins and music star Travis Scott and its exclusive Fortnite Galaxy skin, Samsung has created a powerhouse marketing campaign to get Fortnite players on its array of Galaxy devices. The latest addition to this major campaign is a brand new commercial starring Ninja and Travis Scott who help a young gamer reach her dreams of playing on the USA National Team.
The commercial follows the young girl as she begins to hone her Fortnite skills on a Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Soon her talent at Epic Games' popular battle royale title earns her a sponsorship with a local video game store. The young prodigy soon begins to skyrocket up the Twitch viewership leaderboards which then leads to her teaming up with Travis Scott to earn some squad wins.
As with each previous step of her journey to Fortnite stardom while playing on the Samsung Galaxy devices in the commercial, the young player's mother soon alerts her that Ninja wants her to be a member of the USA National Team.
While the player's journey from local Gamestop hero to National Fortnite star with the help of Ninja and Travis Scott turns out to just be a result of daydreaming from the gamer, the new Samsung commercial starring Ninja and Travis Scott gives a brief look at the possible future of esports.
While getting squad wins with Travis Scott will probably not be a likely stepping stone in esports stardom, we can only wish, seeing a young player hone her talent and get an opportunity to play with the likes of Ninja to represent her country in one of the of the most popular games in the world in Fortnite is an inspirational message the commercial sends to aspiring esports players.
The recently released Samsung commercial shows a very likely future where young people will be looking to become the best esports player they can be and play alongside stars like Ninja on the world stage instead of teaming up with LeBron on the Olympic basketball team.
