This past weekend, @Clix had one of the worst competitive tournaments of his career.
And honestly, I think that’s part of what makes his career so impressive.
It’s easy to celebrate creators when everything is winning, views are up, tournaments go well, clips are viral, and momentum is on your side. (I know I catch myself striving for these positive stories and moments)
What’s much harder is balancing the emotional pressure of being… one of the biggest gaming creators in the world, an entrepreneur building multiple businesses, and still competing against 16–18 year old Fortnite sweats who are new, hungry and fresh on the scene.
Most people don’t realize how difficult that balance actually is. The creator side never stops. The business side never stops. And competitive esports definitely doesn’t stop for anybody.
Yet Clix continues to show up and put himself in the arena as a favorite to win it all. That’s the part I respect most.
As anyone from the athlete world can relate, an elite competitor means accepting that sometimes you fail publicly. And for this past weekend? Badly. Then waking up the next morning and you get back to work. There’s no hiding.
Whether people want to admit it or not, there’s something very special about someone who can operate at this level across content, business, and competition simultaneously.
The story arc is what makes great competitors compelling in the first place — and his journey to finally win an FNCS is still in full effect.
Couldn’t be more proud to be building alongside him and our team at Clix Gaming. 💪 s/o to @XSET for fielding one hell of a roster; s/o Brent Coyle and the Epic @FNCompetitive team for pushing competitive Fortnite forwards; and s/o @robbiedouek and the @BLASTPremier team for hosting another successful event.
On my way home, sorry for dissapointing you guys. Had a lot of fun regardless and it’s always good meeting everyone again but definitely should’ve done better
Sometimes things don’t work out and the only thing you can do is learn from it and put in more work for the next one :/
Will see you guys in belgium later this year❤️
Whether you like him or not, Clix is one of the most influential competitive players of all time.
He helped define the Boxfight and 1v1 PG era with the peanut butter edit, creating content that inspired entire communities and people like Bucke and Peterbot. He was among the first Fortnite pros to successfully branch into business ventures, became a millionaire at 15-16 along with Mongraals, Benjyfishys, Savages, Bughas, K1ng's etc
Seven years into his career, he is still qualifying for FNCS's, he helped boost UnknownArmy, Ronaldo, Lacy, and Bucke,
Clix has an icon skin, clothing brand, esports org, accessory companies, creative studios, teams of people who rely on him for salary and more..
He may not be the BEST in terms of in game accolades, but competitive would not be the same without him.
