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.
