Born in England, he has proven his quality as a Fortnite player many times on European servers but also around the world through events such as the Fortnite World Cup in 2018.

It is therefore on Riot Games’ FPS that Benjyfishy will continue his career as a professional esports player, in the same way as other well-known players on the scene such as Skite or Nayte for example.
After more than €550,000 won on Fortnite since his debut in competition almost 4 years ago, the iconic player who appropriated the “Poiscaille” skin is turning a page in his career at just 18 years old.
