Bugha-The Best of the Best

Adam Čapek

Kyle "Bugha" Giersdorf is an American Twitch streamer and esports player and the only person to win the Fortnite World Cup. He first discovered Fortnite through his dad, who is also a gamer. He told him about a new "Save the World" game mode which is a battle royale. That means there are 100 players and you must kill them in order to win the game.

He is now playing as a member of the fortnite team for the American team Sentinels. Kyle qualified for the 1st Annual Fortnite World Cup. He played six matches against 99 other players. In the end he won the tournament with 59 points, which was a victory to the fullest because the player who ended second had only 33 points, which was only half of Bugha's. He won $3,000,000 in Prize Money.

After winning the World Cup his twitch, a platform where he does his live streams, was hacked. The hacker streamed on his channel and self promoted his twitter. The same fate befell his twitter where the attacker tweeted vulgar tweets and also promoted himself.

When you're famous and well-known there is a lack of privacy. Among the gamer community was popular a form of criminal harassment which consists of someone making a false report in order for police to search the victim's house. It is called "swatting". So this happened to Bugha during his livestream. He left the game in the middle and after 10 minutes he came back to say that he had been swatted. Fortunately one of the armed officers recognised him and realised that it was a false alarm.
