BenjyFishy hits Radiant in Valorant: Is he going to leave Fortnite now?

As is already known, Fortnite recently witnessed the arrival of a new event in Collision. When the event reached its finale, the Epic Games title went offline. That’s because there’s a fresh season entering the game, following the end of Chapter 3 Season 2.

The developing team made the game go down for a healthy amount of time. Since there was nothing else to do with Fortnite, many players decided to try out other options. The same was the case with BenjyFishy, as he opted for Valorant. NRG, the organization with which the streamer is currently associated, shared this news on social media.

Not only that, but BenjyFishy eventually got so much involved in Valorant that he went on to achieve an epic milestone. Previously, he had a Bronze rank in the Riot Games online multiplayer. However, during his recent engagement, he succeeded in getting the top-most rank of Radiant.

For those uninitiated with the title, Valorant’s leveling system has eight ranks in total. Bronze is the lowest level while Radiant (previously called Valorant) is the ultimate champion title that a player can receive.
