[More than 250 million people have played the game since it launched two years ago, generating $2.4bn (£1.9bn) in revenue in 2018. He will split a $2.25m (£1.8m) prize after he and his teammate finished second in the first Fortnite World Cup. Jaden Ashman, who goes by the gamer name Wolfiez, will share the cash with his Dutch gaming partner David 'Rojo' Jong after the duos event in New York.] His hard work paid off. https://news.sky.com/story/essex-sch...d-cup-11772062 |

If he's wise he'll buy a couple of houses and stick tenants in them, he won't have to work through uni then.

How did he get so good? How long did he have to sit in his room playing for to win a world cup?
I hope he can now pool his energies into something constructive.

I'm sure he with his 1 million in the bank wouldn't agree with you, times have moved on, the way people are earning their living has changed and will continue to change, if he is good at it, I don't see what the issue is, according to his Mum he spends a lot of time playing and they have had many arguments about it, but I would say winning 1 million from playing something you love is pretty constructive, its no different from youtubers or being a reality star or an influencer, as it stands if he invests well and doesnt blow it he might not have to work for the rest of his life, how good is that

Winning a game is not constructive, it's akin to gambling to me there can only be one winner, had he lost he'd just be a boy who had spend numerous hrs sat gaming.

everyone is different, and if people can make some money doing something they love, then what could be better.

If he put it in a high interest account then by the time he’s 18 he could afford maybe 5 Freddos?

My point is the time it take for him to get that good at a video fame for most teens causes a lot of problems with schoosing, relationships with parents and peers yes one in a million win a million it doesn't mean a lot of screen time is a good thing. I hope the boy has the guidance to help him with this life changing amount.

Now, if we're talking about a grown adult spending their time on games rather than looking for work or whatever then it is a problem. But TiBB can be very unconstructive time spent so we're all guilty of our vices. |
