Breso has been crownded the Australian Open Summer Smash 2020 Champion. The young Australian player isn't used to significant competitions, being one of the least known players in the tournament. That didn't stop him from winning the $100,000 for his victory. He even became the first controller player to win a LAN of this magnitude in three years of competitive Fortnite. GG Breso!
