LazarBeam and Fresh are two of the biggest names on YouTube with over 17 million and 7 million subscribers, respectively. Despite starting their journey on the platform differently, both the creators rose to prominence by playing Fortnite. While LazarBeam now primarily uploads reaction videos, Fresh is still one of the best players in the Fortnite community.

Recently, both Fortnite veterans mixed things up and tried out a new battle royale game named Spellbreak.

Spellbreak is a multiplayer action-spell-casting game where players take on each other as wizards. LazarBeam and Fresh also have a common interest in the popular movie franchise Harry Potter; naturally, they teamed up and wasted no time in entering the magical world of Spellbreak.

Spellbreak is a perfect example of the same, as it includes several aspects such as elemental gauntlets, spells, and runes, among others. Even though LazarBeam and Fresh are two of the most skilled battle royale players, they had a tough time surviving in Spellbreak.

“Okay, maybe we’re not that great at being a wizard. Alright, we should not do a hot drop,” claimed Fresh after losing the first game in under a minute.

The strategy to not directly engage with enemies certainly helped Lazar and Fresh. However, their dream to win a game was shattered yet again by some sweaty players.
