One of the most successful players in competitive Fortnite, he finished fourth in the 2019 Fortnite World Cup duos tournament alongside American Rocco "Saf" Morales — netting a cool $750,000 in the process. His total earnings across his esports career amounted to over $1.1m.
Other notable results include victories in the FNCS on his home NA East server, and at ESL One Katowice in 2019.
