A Belgian streamer has seemingly broken the record for solo kills in a Fortnite squad match with 43 kills. His triumph video showcases everything Fortnite Battle Royale has to offer in 18 minutes.
What happened? The Belgian streamer Klavert “Teeqzy” Dervishi participated in a squad round of Fortnite, which is a mode for 4-player teams. However, he played solo. In this mode, eliminated opponents first collapse and crawl before they receive the final blow. In an 18-minute match that started with 98 players, Teeqzy personally defeated 43 opponents. This is a new record. The old record was 37.
Who is he? Teeqz is a Fortnite pro. Although there is currently no professional eSports scene for Fortnite, eSports organizations have already formed teams. Teeqzy is part of “Millennium Salty.” Millennium is a French eSports site. It, like us at Mein MMO, belongs to “Webedia,” making it somewhat of a cousin to us.
Where can you watch the match? Here. The match lasts 18 minutes. The language is French, but you can understand well what is happening.
How did the match go? The match can be roughly divided into 3 phases.
- Teeqzy landed in the hotspot of the map, Tilted Towers. The start is rather slow. However, one highlight is when he surprises an opponent. At first, he avoids a fight and retreats. But then he destroys the ground, falls down, and scores an easy kill. When Teeqzy leaves Tilted Towers, he has about 8 kills and 61 players are still alive.
- In a heated, ongoing duel where a lot of building occurs near Dusty Depot, Teeqzy collects kill after kill. However, he also drops down to 2 health points. He apparently encounters the strongest opponents in the match. When he finishes, he has collected 27 kills and 23 people are still in the game.
- Now, heavily armed, he gradually clears the map. Teeqzy nearly always surprises waiting opponents and secures the height advantage. Multiple times in the match, he wipes out camping enemy squads in one go by building a staircase upwards and then shooting them from an elevated position.
Is there an exciting finish? No, not at all. The last opponents build a huge fortress to the sky. The streamer shoots the staircase down from a distance, from the ground, and: The opponents stagger to their death. Because such air castles collapse when you cut the ground connection.
How does the community react? On Reddit, they first correct the culturally clueless American barbarians who mistake the Belgian for a Frenchman. Additionally, they discuss Teeqzy’s unusual resolution. He apparently plays with a 3D resolution of 1600×1080. This is said to give an aiming advantage.
