“Fortnite” streamer wins $86,000 in competition, gets an emotional phone call from father
Twitch
-
On Sunday, one “Fortnite” streamer won nearly $90,000
in one game. -
As he celebrated his win, his father called to
congratulate him, and things got emotional. -
The entire exchange is a delight, and was thankfully
captured on video.
“86 f—ing thousand dollars?! You’re gonna need a f—ing tax
guy!” the father of “Fortnite” streamer “Reverse2K” exclaimed to
his son on Sunday night.
Carlos “Reverse2K” had just won exactly that, $86,000, in a
single game of “Fortnite” during the Summer Skirmish series, a
series of competitions centered around the game that takes place
over eight weeks. And he won the $86,000 without even placing
first.
“You won $26,000 more than first place!” his father says during a
video of the exchange, captured by the streamer himself
post-game. We first saw the video
over at Kotaku.
Carlos held onto the title of most kills — “Holding the Throne”
in the parlance of “Fortnite” — which got him $50,000 alone.
Additionally, his placement overall in Sunday’s Summer Skirmish
game got him another $36,000. That put his total at an incredible
$86,000.
It’s no surprise that tears were rolling down his face as he
spoke to his father.
“I would too, brother!” his father says in an especially
heartwarming moment.
