The 16-year-old Fortnite Battle Royale pro shocked the world on the game\u2019s biggest stage on July 28, as he fended off another 99 competitors to scoop not only the solos trophy, but a $3 million cash prize too. However, while Bugha might well have looked like the best player in the world on that night, Daequan has provided his fans with a hilarious explanation for the win. \u201cI already told you all, look. The whole reason I didn\u2019t play the [Fortnite] World Cup was because his mom hit me up.

He\u2019s definitely joking, if you didn\u2019t realize already. A number of high profile Fortnite streamers who did compete at the $30 million Fortnite World Cup competition arguably flopped, too, with Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney finishing up in 67th place at the event\u2019s finals. Yet, there\u2019s no reason to suggest that himself, Daequan, and many others from the streaming community won\u2019t qualify next time out and make a statement on the grandest stage of them all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daequan reveals why he let Bugha win Fortnite World Cup Daequan, Twitch \/ Epic GamesTeam SoloMid\u2019s Fortnite World Cup.
