He became an overnight celebrity with his exploits. Any Fortnite or even gaming fan could pick him out of a crowd. even among those who had no inclination about gaming recognized him as the teenager who became a millionaire overnight, by playing a game.

But perhaps, he found success far too quickly, and far too early in his profession. Still just 17 years of age, Bugha is increasingly, and very obviously, getting frustrated. Especially while playing online events.

Why? Because he hasn’t been able to dominate in Fortnite games as he did before. We have all been there, losing our minds when we just cannot win, whatever the game may be. But it’s different for Bugha. This is all new to him, and he even had a mental breakdown of sorts while playing recently.

There is an added layer of pressure for him, seeing as he also streams his games live. He has a gamer’s reputation to protect, while many who watch him play can be critical of him in the chats.
