Most of us who follow any of these particular gamers and/or celebrities know their respective Fortnite skill levels to some degree, but what we’re most excited for is seeing how they all fare in competition.
If I were betting on the celebrities in the event, I would keep an eye on Mighty Mouse as he’s an avid gamer with a large Twitch following. My dark horse for the event is the duo of Sypher and Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen, who’s been rumored to be pretty good at the game.
