Fortnite players to become millionaires

Hmmm I don't recall Dignitas being a huge Q3A clan, or even one of the better clans, if they even existed back then. I played for Ironfist at the time with some, if not the top UK players at the time (mist, vorv, bl0key, deus, Q50 (played for 4Kings also) etc)). Then you had clans such as 4Kings, UNR, DC that all had very good players and did really well online and did ok on LAN in Duel, TDM, CTF. But nothing of 100k in terms of winnings.

I remember Hell well and played loads with him around that time in Q3A and before that in Q2 at a high level (both for UK and normal leagues). He won some tourneys and did well in qualifiers such as WCG UK, ESWC, but he never won anything big really, or if he did, nothing of that level. He did well in team sacrifice/2v2 iirc in QC. The only other top UK player in Q3a that attended big LANs was Bl0key and he was probably, if not the best the UK had to offer for duel at the time and he won quite a bit and qualified the most. He won well over 10k, maybe twice or three times that, no doubt. But nothing close to 100k. Garpy never existed really in Q3A as he was still smashing HL but later started QL. I can't think of any other UK player(s) from that era that won huge in Q3A other than I mentioned.

I remember Hell, Blokey and Deus. I also recall another top brit from back in the day called 'Sid'. Quakecon finishes today and they're currently live streaming the first of the pro Quake Champions bo5 duel finals if you're interested. Garpy is against Chain and Garpy just won the first map. I remember when these guys were teens, they're all in their 30s now! This might be the year Cooller finally wins Quakecon.

To be fair I played 10 mins of Fornite and could tell it was trash straight away. CSGO so much more skill involved, better game in every way.

As someone that has played both for many hours, I'll have to say there is more skill involved in fortnite once you get to a good level. Building, editing, etc. Watch the last 5 minutes of a pro game and see just how much goes on. It's crazy.

CSGO is the far superior game though.
 
For those of us who just play games for the hell of it, the company and to just mess around in general, Fortnite is perfect.

So I probably have more hours in total on CS than you, and I've played Fortnite for about 18 months or more, and the game is so far ahead of CS in terms of individual talent and skill that it's not even really a topic I'd consider worth discussion. If you've only played Fortnite for 10 minutes then why would you think you know anything?
 
I just noticed that this top pro Quake Champions player talking on Twitch just before his match now in Dallas is wearing an OcUK logo. \°/

My son is actually really good at Fortnite, especially for a twelve year old. It's incredible to watch him play it. His reactions are so fast and watching him build is just a blur. But he's getting a little bored of it so I showed him Quake Champions the other day and he loved it. Obviously I'm biased but while there is skill in both games I think dueling in one of the early Quake games really did take a very high level of skill as you had to dominate the map and deny your opponent access to parts of it.

Ah those names take me back! I'd love to meet up with them again (Vorv, Mist, Q50 and yourself of course).

I was crap at duels and preferred team games where my obvious lack of skill wasn't so pronounced :D

@Hades - are you [OG]Hades (original gangsters)? - i.e. ODEE, Swiss, MunkyFunk, Chloe(?) etc...

You may not remember but i was in KoTR (Knights of The Round) - i played as Plectr@m (defender) - in CTF - along with Ketamine, AcidBeard (best player i've played with), Wiiija, Jonone AKA Creamy, Timberwolf etc..

We virtually shared IRCs in the end and ODEE, joined us plus few others when you guys disbanded - but i left a few months after the merging as became a Dad so hours of late night gaming ended overnight...

EDIT: Forgot Jeh (Jehova) - great guy was mainly a 1v1 specialist but joined KoTR as we got on very well.

Yes :) and yes I remember :)

I played in OG for a while but the clan I was in for most years was RV (Revenge). Man I miss those days. A lot. I absolutely loved defending in CTF. There's a surprising number of people from those days on this forum.

My wife is always shouting at my son to get off the PC. But because I did the same as him back in my younger days, I know just how much fun he's having.
