Top streamer Ninja diagnosed with cancer at 32

Tyler 'Ninja' Blevins is the most-followed streamer in the world, with 19m followers on Twitch.

Ninja said a second dark spot on his foot was also being checked, and though "shocked" he was "grateful to have hope" that the cancer was found early. Ninja has become synonymous with Twitch since his return to the streaming site in 2020, following a brief stint with Microsoft's rival platform Mixer - which was shutdown in June that year.
