It was pretty shocking after seeing Psalm win about $2 million and quit the same game. The pro player barely made it into the qualifying round for the World Cup.

He then shook the entire audience by placing 2nd in the solo cup and winning about $1.8 Million. Psalm later posted a tweet about quitting for good and turning his focus to Valorant as he wanted to focus on the entirety of the gaming industry.


2) Zexrow

Derox is well-known for being a team player because of his excellent comms. He and Itemm have dominated the Duos World Cup to their level best. It is still unclear why the duo quit the game after participating in the World Cup.

He stated that he didn't perform well in the past few days spent in Fortnite and only earned about $2,000 in 2019.


4) Crue

'Crue', also currently known as 'EVILPICKLERICK', placed 4th in the World Cup qualifiers, winning about $2.5K in total. He also made his name in the Week 2 Solo qualifiers by placing second, winning $8K in that and reaching a total of $51,000 in the cup.

Even after making such a statement in the pro community, he didn't continue the game.


5) Elevate

Elevate was at the pinnacle of being the best. He won a grand prize of $900k in one single event. After the official release of other games, he switched to play pro in those areas.

Fans have seen him active on his channel and on other current pros' channels, such as BenjyFishy, but there is little hope of his return.


6) Vinny1x

Vinny1x was ZexRow's World Cup duo and showed extraordinary skills. The pair passed for the World Cup on the last day of the qualifiers. The former pro continued his feat with ZexRow and placed 2nd in the first FNCS of chapter 2.

He quit as he had lost interest in Fortnite and started exploring other games.
