Professional Fortnite career
Jackson started playing video games at the age of eight, and realised three years later that he was "better than the average player", topping scoreboards and often besting semi-professional players.[3]
2018–2019: Team Secret and Friday Fortnite success
On April 25, 2018, at the age of 13, Jackson signed for esports organisation Team Secret,[4] attaining greater notability through an interview with BBC four days later.[3]
With Epic Games not hosting any official tournaments at the time, Jackson won one of the weekly Friday Fortnite tournaments with Secret teammate Domeniks 'Domentos' Bunts, earning them $10,000 each.[5][6]
Jackson competed in Epic Games' Winter Royale qualifying tournament in November 2018; he would have qualified, had it not been for the competitive age limit being 16 at the time.[7] Fortnite lowered the age limit to 13 ahead of the Fortnite World Cup, allowing Jackson, then aged 14, to compete. In tournaments ahead of the World Cup qualifiers, Jackson played successfully with eventual World Cup duo Dmitri 'Mitr0' van de Vrie.[7]
2019: Fortnite World Cup and FaZe Clan
The Fortnite World Cup consisted of one solo and one duo tournament, to which players had to qualify through high placements in weekly qualifiers. Jackson, playing together with van de Vrie, qualified for the duos tournament in week two, although it took Jackson until the final week to qualify for the solos tournament.[7] This made him one of only 18 players to qualify for both solos and duos.
On July 7, 2019, Jackson signed for FaZe Clan, leaving Team Secret.[8]
At the World Cup, Jackson was among the most consistent players, placing 13th in solos and 6th in duos with van de Vrie. In total, Jackson earned $375,000 from both tournaments.[9]
2019–2020: Early FNCS tournaments and win
Following the Fortnite World Cup, Fortnite's biggest tournaments were the Fortnite Championship Series, usually abbreviated as FNCS.[10] For the first season, Season X, the gamemode was trios, and Jackson entered a dominant run together with teammates Benjy 'Benjyfishy' Fish and Dmitri "Mitr0" van de Vrie, collectively known as MMB.[11] In the six qualifiers, MMB finished 1st three times and 2nd three times,[12] earning them $134,400 each from the qualifiers alone.[citation needed] In the grand finals, however, MMB were targeted at their landing spot, finishing in 10th place, earning $3,200 each.[7]
Jackson finished 2nd in the next season, Chapter 2, Season 1's FNCS, earning him and his three teammates $30,000 each.[13]
In Chapter 2, Season 4, after failing to contend for the FNCS three times in a row, Jackson won FNCS with van de Vrie and Tai 'TaySon' Starčič,[14] earning $37,000 each.[15]
2021–2023: Failure to qualify for FNCS and brief retirement
Following his FNCS win, Jackson started playing Fortnite less. Although he would return to playing with Dmitri 'Mitr0' van de Vrie and Benjy 'Benjyfishy' Fish, the trio failed to perform well.[16] After again splitting with MMB, Jackson failed to qualify for FNCS in Chapter 2, Seasons 5 through 8.[16][17] Jackson effectively retired from Fortnite competitive in 2021.[18] Nevertheless, Jackson again played competitively with van de Vrie ahead of Chapter 3 Season 1's duo FNCS,[19] but the duo failed to qualify for it.[20]
Feeling burnt out from Fortnite, Jackson spent his retirement travelling.[21] He also began working out in the gym.[18]
On 27 February, 2023, after achieving the highest score in Yuga Labs' Dookey Dash competition, Jackson sold his winning NFT for 1,000 ETH, at the time roughly $1.63 million.[22]
2023–2025: Return with MrSavage
With the return of the Chapter 1 map on November 3, 2023,[23] Jackson started playing Fortnite again.[24] Ahead of Chapter 5, Season 1's FNCS, Jackson started playing competitively with fellow World Cup player Martin 'MrSavage' Foss Andersen.[25] The duo went on to qualify for the grand finals.[26] This was the first FNCS grand finals that Jackson qualified to since winning FNCS over three years prior.
After failing to qualify for FNCS in Chapter 5, Season 2 with Andersen, the duo moved to the North American region to attempt to qualify for the 2024 Global Championship, by placing well in Chapter 5, Season 3's FNCS.[27][28] Jackson and Andersen qualified for the FNCS grand finals,[28] however couldn't place high enough to qualify for the Global Championship.[29]
Following the 2024 Global Championship, the competitive gamemode switched back to trios.[30] After playing with a few different triomates,[31] Jackson and Andersen placed 8th in Chapter 6, Season 1's FNCS together with 'Panzer', winning one of the 12 games and earning $11,600 each.[32]
2025–present: Split with MrSavage and sporadic teammates
After the 8th place in FNCS, Jackson stopped playing with Andersen, since failed to qualify for the FNCS grand finals twice, alongside multiple teammates.[1]
On April 4, 2025, Jackson signed for Red Bull Gaming,[33] in a deal lasting through 2025.[34]
On May 10, 2025, Jackson played in the FNCS Pro-Am with content creator Alastair 'Ali-A' Aiken. The duo finished last out of 20 teams.[35]
In January, 2026, Jackson once again announced his partnership with Martin 'MrSavage' Foss Andersen in a 40-second video, ahead of the 2026 FNCS played in duos.[36] Their partnership, however, was short-lived, as Jackson announced their split on February 12, 2026.[37]
