Fortnite World Cup player Sceptic claims he paid shocking amount of taxes on winnings Epic Games \/ ScepticFortnite pro Griffin \u2018Sceptic\u2019 Spikoski finished 35th in the Duos portion of the World Cup with Cody \u2018Clix\u2019 Conrod and claims he\u2019s seeing just $14,000 of his $50,000 due to taxes from the United States and Poland. Sceptic and Clix earned $100,000 at the Fortnite World Cup and had that split evenly between the two. However, Sceptic says he is being double-taxed by both the United States and Poland, leaving him with just a fraction of his winnings, revealing that winning large sums of money isn\u2019t all it\u2019s cracked up to be. \u201cI\u2019m only getting $14K from World Cup,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cSince I was born (in) Poland both the US and Poland collect taxes\u2026\u201d Keep in mind that taxation like this is rare where two separate countries take cuts of your earnings are rare so if this is true it\u2019d be a huge wake-up call in the face to the players who thought they\u2019d be earning a lot more. Considering the World Cup allowed players from all across the world to compete, there would be many more players running into this issue. Clix\u2019s earnings represent under a third of his winnings, so while he still came home with a lot of money playing Fortnite, he definitely has a right to be upset. 100 Thieves pro Kennith defended Clix against the negativity in his replies, saying if the same thing happened to them, they\u2019d be mad too. \u201cPeople saying \u201cbe grateful\u201d yet if they earned 50k on paper but only received not even a third of that, theyd be upset too,\u201d he tweeted. People saying “”be grateful”” yet if they earned 50k on paper but only received not even a third of that, theyd be upset too \u2014 100T Kenith (@kenith) August 17, 2019 Unrelated to the taxed earnings, Clix and Sceptic parted ways following the end of the World Cup due to a difference in playstyles, along with leaving Misfits Gaming. \u201cI split with Clix, looking for a new duo that believes in teamwork and chemistry,\u201d Sceptic said about the split.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
