The $3 million prize is the largest amount ever awarded for an e-sports tournament.

He’s not the only one who made bank though, all top 100 players will be happy with their lot:

21st-100th made $50,000 each – wow. Sounds easy but remember we’re talking about the top 100 Fortnite players in the world (out of 250 million+) who had their eyes glued to the screen playing this game every day in preparation for this tournament.

Bugha’s mate Colin Bradley knew his buddy would crush it:

He’s one of the smartest players. He knows when to attack, when not to attack, to stay high ground. He’s a strategic player.

This being the gaming world, some haters immediately hacked into Bugha’s social media accounts after his $3 million victory.

Bugha’s phone and social media accounts have been compromised. We are aware of the situation and are working to regain control.

Oh dear. Still at least it wasn’t his bank account eh?

What would you do if you won $3 million at 16? Or maybe I should be asking, what would you do if your 16-year-old kid won $3 million playing a damn video game? Bugha’s dad was absolutely loving it:

Making millions off playing video games – what a life this kid is living.

Might have even impressed enough to bag himself a date with gamer girls dinglederper and Belle Delphine (NSFW)?
