Team Ninja to manage the streamer as Jessica Blevins steps down

On October 18, Jessica Blevins shared a 416-word long TwitLonger statement, announcing that she would be stepping down as Tyler's full-time manager.

The address started with her mentioning how her journey with the Fortnite star began when the latter was still gaining viewers playing battle royale titles like H1Z1 and PUBG.

She mentioned that they are a team, with Ninja being the talent and Jessica Blevins being the business-related person:

"I’ve been managing Tyler now for seven years, and it has been nothing short of amazing and hectic all at the same time. 💜 My journey managing him started when we were dating and he was gaining more viewers playing battle royale games like H1Z1/PUBG, but still competing in halo. We were a two-man team (Tyler as the talent, and me as everything business-related)."

The address continued with her talking a bit about her experience working with Ninja and how she would "Google contracts" for major brands in the gaming space:

"My journey managing Tyler started with me googling contacts for major companies already in the gaming space that were sponsoring streamers (like hyperx, astro, GFuel, etc). I’d essentially write up a “gamer resume” on tyler listing out all of his halo placings, his accomplishments, and his viewers/social following. I’d then write up an in-depth email pitching why sponsoring Tyler would be beneficial. Little did I know how much my role would change, and that I wouldn’t have to “cold call” forever. I never thought we would have the business, brand, and success that we have today."

Jessica Blevins revealed how she developed Team Ninja, who manage various aspects of Tyler's online presence:

"As Tyler grew, my job continued to change, and I started wearing many different hats that I was definitely under qualified for-he needed a legal team looking over contracts, he needed agents, he needed a financial advisor, he needed YouTube editors, he needed a stream alert team, he needed an accountant that understood his job, he needed a PR team, he needed a Merch team, he needed a social team, and OH could I go on and on…This led me to scout an amazing team that we now refer to as Team Ninja."

During the concluding section of the post, Jessica Blevins mentioned that she would still be involved in "just a few aspects of the business":

Although I’m stepping away from full-time managing Tyler, I’ll still be involved in just a few aspects of the business (Merch being one). I’ve appreciated all of your love and support over the years. We truly never expected this life, and we are so grateful every day for each and every one of you who has supported us along this journey! I can’t wait to see Tyler and Team Ninja continue to do ground-breaking things!"
