Multiple-Time Summer Skirmish Champion \u2018Vivid\u2019 Joins Team Liquid\u2019s Pro Fortnite Team Top competitive Fortnite prospect Noah \u2018Vivid\u2019 Wright has joined Team Liquid\u2019s pro Fortnite roster. The news was announced live on Vivid\u2019s Twitch stream on August 29, as well as a on Team Liquid\u2019s official Twitter page. There are reports that Vivid will be immediately put into in the main team, taking the place of current Liquid pro \u2018Strafesh0t,\u2019 who will apparently be moved to the reserve team. However, these reports have not been confirmed and no formal announcement about roster management has been made by Team Liquid as of yet. Formerly known as \u2018NotVivid,\u2019 Vivid has taken the competitive Fortnite community by storm in recent weeks thanks to his performances in the ongoing $8 million Summer Skirmish tournament series. After being invited to participate in the series due to his top performances in previous Solo Showdown events, the player has taken full advantage of the opportunity, winning multiple events, close to $200K, and establishing himself as a household name among Fortnite fans and players. Team Liquid is proud to announce the latest and greatest addition to our Fortnite team: the \u2018Faker of Fortnite\u2019, Noah \u201cVivid\u201d Wright! With 4 Summer Skirmish titles already studding his belt, Vivid is the most decorated player in Fortnite\u2019s summer series so far. Whether it\u2019s in Solos or Duos, Vivid has displayed a remarkable consistency at the top of Fortnite\u2019s pro ladder, and he\u2019s expected to continue racking up those wins. He\u2019s even won a round with Poach, and we\u2019re excited to see Vivid build a better understanding with the rest of the Liquid squad. We will be providing everything that Vivid needs to become even better at the battle royale, and he will be linking up with 72hrs and Co. to form arguably the best team in competitive Fortnite. As the summer heat continues to rise, Fortnite\u2019s Summer Skirmish heads into its 8th Week with an offline bash at PAX West in Seattle this weekend. $1.5 million dollars will be on the line, and Vivid will be there to meet up with his new teammates to take on this Solos event. In the meantime, you can watch Vivid grind Victory Royales on his stream as he practices for the weekend\u2019s big tournament. What got you into Fortnite? So originally I played Fortnite on the console, specifically on Xbox. My friends and I were looking for a new game to play and Fortnite came out so I played squads with them. I got up to about 100 wins on Xbox then my friend and I got a PC and started playing on that. I only played a couple times a week, and then in February (Season 3) one of my friends got me into playing every day. So I have pretty much been grinding the game every day for about 5 or 6 months. Has your family been supportive of your new career? My dad has never really cared about how much video games I\u2019ve played. I mean, he was always worried and been like: \u201cHey make sure all your school work is done, make sure you go to work and get some money\u201d, because before Fortnite I wasn\u2019t really making any money. As soon as I started making some money from Fortnite he was supportive of me pursuing it as a career and trying to make the most of it. What were you doing before Fortnite? Before Fortnite I was a college student. I went into college majoring in Biology and realized I didn\u2019t really like it, so I ended up switching to Computer Science and I finished up one semester of that \u2014 and then summer break came along this summer. I would have been a junior this year if I was going back to college, but instead I\u2019ll be pursuing Fortnite and streaming full time. Outside of that my summer job was a part time job in a machine shop working as a laborer. What do you think the future of competitive Fortnite will be like? I don\u2019t really know, because they\u2019re basically doing a different format every week, which I really like. Epic is trying to figure out the best way to establish a competitive scene in a battle royale game. Obviously in other popular games like Counter-Strike and Call of Duty there are set game modes, but when you implement a battle royale it\u2019s kind of new to the competitive scene so they\u2019re trying to establish a very fair competitive scoring system and trying different things out. I have high hopes for the future of competitive Fortnite simply because Epic is putting a lot of time and effort into figuring that out. How does it feel to be on Team Liquid? What drew you to the org, and how do you feel about playing with the guys? I used to play League of Legends and back then they were called Team Curse, so I have been following Team Liquid for a very long time. I\u2019ve always known that they are a good org, and I\u2019ve never heard anything bad about the way they do things, so I considered them a really good option for myself. When it came to choosing my team I really wanted to be comfortable with the standing roster, and I watched Tom, Poach, and Chap a lot and I loved their personalities. When I got into calls with them on Discord it was so natural to have a conversation and when we got in games together the gameplay just flowed really well. That was a huge part, because there was a natural chemistry and we felt really comfortable together. Also, Steve is a very nice guy and it all came together and it felt like the right thing to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
