The English Fortnite player Jaden “Wolfiez” Ashman was one of the stars at the World Championship. He won over a million dollars. However, the mother of the 15-year-old was initially against his career.
This is Wolfiez: The 15-year-old player was a no-name to many fans before the World Championship, but he then secured second place in the duo tournament with his Dutch partner Rojo and can now share 2,250,000 dollars with him.
On British breakfast television, he and his mother talked about the beginnings and how she even threw his Xbox out the window once.
The Crazy Story of Wolfiez
What does Wolfiez say about his triumph? The Englishman is surprised by his second place at the World Championship. He says, “To be honest, we didn’t really expect to achieve such a position. We’ve been training since February […]. We hoped for the top ten if we played really well. Being second was just incredible.”
What does he want to do with the money? Wolfiez has already made specific plans for what he wants to do with the prize money. He states that he plans to buy a house for his family.
Currently, he sleeps in a bunk bed with his brother and right after that is his gaming desk. He would like to separate playing and sleeping, says the 15-year-old.
What does his mother say about the success? The mother was initially not very enthusiastic about the constant gaming. She recounts in the show that she even threw an Xbox One out of the window so that he could concentrate more on his homework.
After now being in New York and learning more about the game, she is a big supporter: “Since my trip to New York, I have learned so much about the game, and it is not just about the game; it is about all the skills that Jaden uses to play it.”
Another teenager who plays Fortnite successfully was even taken out of school by his mother:
