Here is what he recently had to say about controller gamers on Fortnite.
Of Humble Beginnings
Bugha used to stream early in his career without much hope or aspirations. He was just like any other regular streamer trying to earn a name for himself. He was always a Fortnite loyalist. However, his popularity back then was insignificant in comparison to what it is now. His humble beginnings only resonate with how much he has evolved as a gamer. Kyle used to enjoy basketball with his buddy Collin, since childhood. He is one of those positive influences in his life who kept him grounded.

They say confidence is the key to everything, and in that department, Kyle’s cup runneth over.

The calmest people on Earth are the ones who can keep a level head before and after success. Bugha is one of those people. He made sure that his goal remained more about progress than just earning money. After his win, in an interview, he said he was going to save the money, and not do something foolish with it. How modest could he get? All he needed was a new desktop set up.
Bugha received about $1.8 million from the $3 million prize pool at the Worldcup. The Solo champion is indeed one of the finest the game could ever get. “A lot of people look at me differently now, it’s overwhelming, but I still feel the same inside”, a lot of wisdom for someone so young. We can only wish him the best for his future.
