Pokimane blown away by innocent 15-year-old Fortnite queue sniper Pokimane, YouTube \/ Epic GamesPopular Fortnite players \u2013 but her conversation with one youngster in Duos left her speechless. Pokimane was in the midst of a random Duos stream when she queued up with a younger player, who was promoting his creator code by changing his username to \u2018Code Space.\u2019 Anys had a sneaking suspicion that the player was queue sniping her, a practice where players attempt to get in a squad with a top player or personality at the same time in order to play with them \u2013 which can result in some unpleasant experiences. A well-intentioned queue sniper? \u201cI really hope you didn\u2019t queue snipe me just to advertise your code, by the way,\u201d Pokimane jokingly warned the player. \u201cCan I ask you an honest question? Did you queue snipe me?\u201d \u201cI did, but not to advertise my code,\u201d he answered. This prompted a hilarious reaction from Pokimane, who went on to ask him why he had queue sniped her in the first place. [Timestamp: 5:00 for mobile viewers] \u201cJust to play with you,\u201d the player replied. \u201cI think you\u2019re a generally nice person.\u201d \u2018Code Space,\u2019 real name \u2018Hayden,\u2019 went on to divulge that he was just 15 years old \u2013 and even revealed that he had made it to the finals of Epic\u2019s Blackheart tournament. Pokimane let out a shocked exclamation in response, visibly taken aback by the player\u2019s skill at such a young age. \u201cThat\u2019s dope!\u201d she said of the news. \u201cAnd you\u2019re only 15, congrats!\u201d 600https:\/\/twitter.com\/pokimanelol\/status\/1115357268051152898?s=20Fortnite\u2019s youngest competitive players This wouldn\u2019t be the first time a young player has made waves in competitive Fortnite; notable esports organization FaZe signed 13-year-old \u2018H1ghsky\u2019 in mid-March, following their acquisition of 15-year-old pro \u2018Sway\u2019 just a few days prior.
