Who is the best Fortnite player in Britain?
According to multiple rankings, Wolfiez is the best Fortnite player in Great Britain.

You have to play most of the time, so it’s nice, I wouldn’t say boring, but it’s not like a glamorous life.
Professional Fortnite player Wolfiez
In 2019, he became the youngest ever esports player to win $1 million (approximately £753,000) playing the game.
He was only 15 years old when he took home a whopping victory at the Fortnite World Cup.
After finishing second in the duos section of the tournament, Asham split the £1.8 million prize with his Dutch partner Dave Long.
In 2022, Ashman spoke to The Sun about his life as a gamer.
He said: “People think you do all these things but you have to play most of the time, so it’s nice, I wouldn’t say boring, but it’s not like a glamorous life.
“Just playing as much as you can, and of course the best part is going to an event once every few months, that’s probably the best part about it.
“When I go to Fortnite events, I feel comfortable. I feel good. People come up to me and ask for pictures and stuff, but no one is too pushy or anything. It’s always a good experience.”
How much does Wolfiez earn?
It has been reported that Wolfiez has earned a whopping $1,367,708 (over £1,078,000) from Fortnite tournaments.
His biggest prize was his second place at the 2019 World Cup.
Despite his enormous net worth, the professional gamer has kept his spending relatively sensible.
The largest purchase he has made is a house for his mother.
Ashman has previously revealed how his mother, Lisa, used to tell him he was “wasting time” on Fortnite before making it as a professional.
Aside from the real estate for his mother, Wolfiez has stated that he has spent some of his hard-earned money “here and there” on a few PCs, as well as top-of-the-line controllers and vacations.
He told The Sun in 2022: “I wouldn’t say I’m a saver, but I don’t spend money on things I don’t really need, or just because.”

The season has three parts: Major 1, Major 2 and Major 3, with the Major 1 finals taking place on February 24 and 25, 2024.
