Bugha took home the one and only official Fortnite World Cup in 2019. He faced the top 100 Fortnite players on his road to the world championship and he managed to put on one dominant performance after another. Bugha took home $3 Million USD in cash prize, making him the highest-earning esports player off of a single solos tournament. 

Michaly “Kami” Kamiski

Kami was part of Become Legends and he won the Fortnite Championship Series (FNCS) Invitational in 2022. He is known for being top-tier at not just building but his aim is also a cut above the rest. Despite going up against the best builders in Fortnite, his decision-making and team coordination helped him secure countless competitive victories with his duo Iwo "Setty" Zając.

Harry “Veno” Pearson

Veno is known for his unbroken streak at Cash Cups and his success in 2022’s competitive circuit makes him one of the top pro-Fortnite players of all time. Even when he plays without his Austrian duo David "aqua" Wang, he performs well in solo events. His team had a fantastic 2022 and he is looking to keep the momentum going this year.

Iwo "Setty" Zając

Polish player Setty won two of the biggest events in recent history - the FNCS Invitational and Dreamhack Summer. He is one of the most reliable players in high-pressure situations where you have to strategize on the fly while also building and warding off enemies.

Anas “Anas” El-Abd

Anas El-Abd plays Fortnite competitively for Guild Esports and he also participated in the MrBeast Extreme Survival Challenge recently where he took home $1 Million USD. He also had a great run at the FNCS Invitational recently and is on route to becoming one of the all-time greats in Fortnite esports.
