While the majority of top professional Fortnite players tend to play on PC, console players have also proven that they are capable of hanging with the best.

Ghost Gaming’s Ayden, who will be competing in the 2 vs 2 tournament, recently took 11th place at the Fortnite Summer Skirmish Series finals, beating a host of PC players from top teams.

This isn’t the only tournament that the OpTic man is in the process of organizing – he is also hosting a $5,000 Call of Duty: Ghosts throwback tournament on September 22 with some of the classic rosters from the game’s heyday.
