The Twitch streamer Benjy “Benjyfishy” Fish (15) has fulfilled his dream. He has become a real Fortnite pro. His mother took him out of school for this. It seems to be paying off.
Who is this pro? The Fortnite pro Benjyfishy is a member of the NRG clan. He is one of the best Fortnite players and has participated in several tournaments.
The Twitch streamer recently had the match of his life, eliminating some of his pro colleagues in Fortnite.
For the Fortnite World Championship, Benjyfishy even qualified for both Solo and Duo categories.
In Fortnite tournaments, he often achieves a high ranking among the best Fortnite players in the world. On the page https://fortnite-esports.gamepedia.com/ his placements in various tournaments can be viewed.
Mother takes him out of school for Fortnite
His mother, who is also his manager, fully supports the 15-year-old. She registered her son out of school in May 2019 so that he could focus more on his gaming career.
Since then, Benjyfishy has been tutored at home by a private teacher. This way, he has more free time to focus on his Fortnite career.
Decision seems to be paying off
Why is this decision worthwhile? Since Benjyfishy now has much more time for his Fortnite career, he can participate in many tournaments where he can earn money.
Overall, the Fortnite pro is said to have earned over $340,000 through tournaments. (Source: esportsearnings. com). Just $100,000 was awarded for the double qualification for the Fortnite World Cup 2019.
Moreover, he has over 603,000 followers on Twitch. Benjyfishy also earns money as a content creator on Twitch:
- He receives donations there
- earns money through advertising or potential sponsorship deals
- Additionally, money comes in from subscriptions. A Twitch subscription costs at least $4.99 per month, of which the streamer receives at least half
- As a content creator for Fortnite, Benjyfishy also benefits from the “creator code”; when his fans spend money in Fortnite, he receives a share if they support him
On YouTube, the 15-year-old has 545,000 subscribers.
15-Year-Old Living His Dream
What is the dream of the Twitch streamer? For Benjy, a dream is coming true. As he reported to the British Mirror , he has wanted to be a pro gamer since he was 13 years old.
This desire has now been fulfilled and Benjyfishy has become a real eSports athlete. He can now pursue his career as a pro full-time and earns a lot of money from it.
His goal is, he once said, to buy himself and his mother a house. He is now getting closer to this goal and it could soon come true.
One who has already achieved this is Jaden “Wolfiez” Ashman. The Fortnite pro could, when he was 15, perform excellently at the World Cup, raked in a huge prize money, and bought his mother a house with it.
Benjyfishy was also pleased about this change in Fortnite eSports:
