Recently, in an extremely unfortunate incident, Fortnite pro ClutchFN's house was burnt down in a raging fire.
Over the course of its impressive three-year run, Epic Games' Fortnite has emerged as one of the most popular and influential games in today's era of competitive gaming.
With several games jostling for top honours in a highly competitive industry, Fortnite has managed to hold its own and continues to evolve and grow by leaps and bounds.
Moreover, ever since 16-year old Kyle "Bugha" Giersdorf was crowned champion at the inaugural Fortnite World Cup, the charm of competitive Fortnite has witnessed a major shot in the arm, with several young aspirants looking to make a name for themselves in the game.
