In Fortnite , the head of the professional team 100 Thieves exposed two young pros on Twitter. Although both earned $900,000 each through Fortnite at the World Championship, they littered the team house. Fast food wrappers are scattered everywhere. The training arena is a pigsty.
The team head accuses them of: In a video on Twitter, Matt “Nadeshot” Haag shows the cluttered training and living area in the team house of 100 Thieves.
He says: “This is what happens when you let the Fortnite team stay all alone in a wonderful house.”
It sounds a bit ominous when he says: “Ceice, Elevate. We will talk about this. This is really disgusting.”
The camera pans over fast food packaging, showing dirty dishes. Glasses, cups, and trash pile up on the ping pong table, on the tables, and even in front of the computers. It looks terrible.
In the end, you see the astonished expression of an adult looking at it.
WM Thirds each win $900,000 – cannot stay without supervision
Who are we talking about here? The head of 100 Thieves is Matt “Nadeshot” Haag (27), who was previously a CoD pro himself. He founded the eSports organization 100 Thieves in 2016. The team is active in LoL, Call of Duty, and Fortnite.
The player Elevate’s real name is Hayden Kruger. He is a Canadian teenager who has earned nearly a million dollars in prize money with Fortnite. Just finishing 3rd in the duo at the Fortnite World Championship earned him $900,000, with some taxes on that.
The player David “Ceice” McClellan was Elevate’s duo partner at the World Championship, also pocketed $900,000, and has been successful in Fortnite as well.
The two young Fortnite pros are part of the Fortnite team at 100 Thieves. They are among the most successful eSports players in Fortnite overall after the World Championship, thanks to the huge prize money.
As seen in team videos, they live, train, and play together with other teenagers in this gaming house.
“I didn’t do it!”
How the players react: Ceice speaks out. With the classic sentence: “I didn’t do it.” However, he then apologizes to the team head.
No reaction yet from Elevate.
The Twitch streamer Jack “Courage” Dunlop, also at 100 Thieves, has little understanding for his young colleagues. He says it’s impossible for the two to be that stupid. He tells the team head that it’s time for punishment now.
How are Twitter users reacting? It varies:
- One says: Can’t you afford a cleaning lady with all the money? The guys are training 12 hours a day.
- Others share their experiences: Apparently, cleanliness in eSports teams has been an issue for a long time.
- And some are completely astonished that only 2 people can cause such a mess – it must have surely been more.
