Over the years, several creators have played a huge role in making Fortnite one of the biggest games in the world. In return, Epic Games had initiated the Fortnite Icon Series to reward these gamers for their consistent efforts.

The latest name to join Ninja, Loserfruit, Lachlan, and TheGrefG, and become a Fortnite Icon is Lannan “LazarBeam” Eacott. The Australian YouTuber started out by playing and commentating on the Madden NFL video game series. However, he rose to prominence by playing Epic Games’ battle royale and hasn’t looked back ever since.

Fans around the world love LazarBeam for his hilarious and straightforward personality. Back in 2019, he even swore during a kid-friendly event for Fortnite.

“Well, having your own skin in the game is awesome! People just let you kill them, this is sick, I may never lose a game again,” joked the streamer.

Despite the inactivity lately, LazarBeam is still one of the best Fortnite players ever. Owing to his experience, he easily won the match and gave fans the Victory Royale they wanted.
