3. Aqua
Aqua comes in at number 3 on the list and is the top European pro on the list. Aqua is the most consistent player in the European region, which is considered the hardest region to sustain success at the highest level. Despite the intense competition, Aqua has managed to excel, despite the talent of the players he is facing.
At the world cup, Aqua was the leading force in his duo that managed to make an insane comeback, winning the final two games, to secure the victory in the Duo World Cup, along with Nyrox. This instantly made him the second-highest earner in Fortnite history, behind Bugha, after winning $1.5 million.
Since the World Cup, Aqua remained as one of the top players in Fortnite, regardless of region. In FNCS trios, Aqua won the championship once again, along with Tschinken and Stompy. In Squads, Aqua walked away with another massive paycheck, placing in the top 10 in terms of squads in Europe. In duos, Aqua showed once again that he is one of the best of the best. Along with Stompy, he finished 4th in Europe in FNCS Duos. He followed up these strong performances with yet another one in FNCS Solos, finishing in 3rd across all of Europe.
4. Benjyfishy
Benjyfishy is the third European pro on this list and the second British player on the list as well. Benjy grew into fame alongside Mr. Savage as the world’s most lovable duo competing on the road to the World Cup. Benjy was a fan-favorite because he was very passionate about Fortnite and used the competitive side of the game to support his family, which is insanely mature for a 16-year-old who acquired hundreds of thousands in a short amount of time.
At the World Cup, Benjy continued to steal the hearts of fans with his chubby smile and great gameplay. He finished 14th in duos and 25th as a solo, showing he is one of the most talented players in the world. He became an instant legend within the competitive Fortnite community and is widely regarded as one of the best.
In the FNCS competitions, Benjy backed up his play with consistent placements in Europe. In trios, he teamed up with two of Europe’s best, Mongraal and Mitr0, and finished 10th. In squads, Benjy led his squad to the 2nd placement in Europe, along with Mongraal, Nayte, and Wolfiez. In duos and solos, Benjy did not finish in the top 10 but did reach the finals place within the top 50 players in Europe. Going forward, Benjy needs to continue winning events and playing consistently to stay as one of the top 5 players in the world.
