What's this?

He's just gotta get in early on a game and establish themselves....

and make video content. like compilation videos, or trick shots.... These guys like Nick EH30 have been at it for years. Trying to get in on streaming fortnite now would be a lost cause. But an 8yo! that is awesome that he recognizes that as a thing. Something unheard of when we were kids. The tournaments are getting big too. They draw 100,000 of thousands of live viewers... for a video game. Imagine them in a stadium and you see why these players get sponsored and make major cash.
