Over the past couple of years, many ninjas have laid it all out on the line for the chance to earn the “Ninja God” title. Only eight have made it. We’ve brought them back to defend their title and become the ultimate Ninja God in our upcoming tournament, Ninja God Invitational X: Hall of Fame Exhibition! On Friday, August 22, watch eight Ninja Gods battle it out in five action-packed rounds, battle royale style!
... But you didn’t think we’d make it that simple, did you? Not only will our competitors have five rounds to prove their might, but they have to play each round with a new weapon! Four will leave with their share of the $1100 prize pool, 10,000 Jala, and a commemorative Gumchi medal! Tune in to the stream on 8/22 at 11am PT on YouTube or Twitch to find out who comes out on top!
