Bugha took the internet by storm when he won around $9 million prize money by becoming the first Fortnite World Cup winner in 2019. Ever since, he has become one of the most popular players in the community, and Epic Games recently rewarded him with his own in-game skin. This implies that Bugha is now an integral part of the Fortnite Icon Series alongside the likes of Ninja, Lachlan, Loserfruit, and Lazarbeam.

The aforementioned Fortnite Icons never miss an opportunity to play together. Hence, soon before the release of Bugha’s Icon Series skin, Ninja and Grefg joined him for some quick Bugha’s Late Game matches.
