In the past few years, Fortnite entered the Esports scene with a bang and changed the gaming industry as a whole. One thing that is always the main topic of discussion when talking about Fortnite Esports is the player rankings.

 

Similar to any other sport in the world, fans always wish to know who the current player is or the GOAT. As viewers and fans, we are curious to know that specific piece of knowledge, and we engage in intense debates to figure out such things.

 

 

In this article, we have gone for an analytic approach to player rankings that looks at the stats as well as the real-life performances to uncover the top 5 Best Fortnite professional players as of 2023. This list goes in increasing order, so the last person on this list is the ultimate best. Let’s get into it!

 

 

Top 5 Best Fortnite Players In 2023

 

  • Bugha
  • Veno
  • Queasy
  • Setty
  • Kami

 

 

Bugha (Sentinels)

Players who follow competitive Fortnite have surely heard of Bugha and his mind-blowing performance during the very first and thus far only official Fortnite World Cup in 2019. Kyle Giersdorf, also known as Bugha, successfully beat out a total of 40 million other participants.

 

He took the Fortnite community by storm when he brought home the World Cup trophy. In the finals, Bugha fought against 100 of the world’s top Fortnite players and still managed to dominate his enemies and stay way ahead of the competition.

 

His reward for winning the tournament was a massive amount of a 3 million dollar cash prize which made Bugha the highest-earning Esports player off of tournament revenue. It also made him into one of the faces of Fortnite beside his fellow streamers Ninja and Tfue.

For Bugha, the success of permanently marking his name in the Fortnite history books and taking the life-changing cash pot home was not enough. Ever since the world cup, Bugha has shown the same hunger and drive for success in his most recent tournament performances.

 

2022 was a huge year for the 20-year-old Pennsylvania-born prodigy as he managed to win the Fortnite Champion Series, FNCS, Chapter 3 Season 1 Grand final and earned 3rd and 2nd position finishes in the following two FNCS Grand Finals.

 

After his success in the FCS Finals, he had memorable performances during the year, including his two Duos Cash Cup wins and, more recently, his 2nd place finish in the Elite Cup Weekly Finals in November.

As of right now, Bugha is proving to the world that he will not be defined by a single moment. While his name may always remind people of his World Cup victory, he has given several other reasons in 2022 to believe that his future might even be brighter than his past.

 

 

Veno (Tundra)

In 2022, Veno became a rising star of the pro-Fortnite community and rapidly started to gain public admiration owing to his aggressive playstyle and his impressive streak of Cash Cup wins. Veno had fun during his great success playing beside the Austrian pro “Aqua.”

 

They are widely regarded as the best duos partner in the competitive Fortnite scene. These two stuck by each for a couple of memorable tournament performances, which includes a streak in which they won back-to-back major tournaments, with one of those wins coming in an FNCS Final.

 

Unfortunately, this was one of the last times Veno and Aqua shared the battlebus as the pair disbanded after underwhelming cash cup results in the summer. This separation lead to the rise of the most iconic duos partnership of 2022 between Veno and Queasy.

 

The duo of Veno and Queasy started off with an epic Cash Cup run in which the pair came 2nd, 1st, and 3rd in continuous matches. From there on out, it was difficult to evade the fact that Quasy and Veno were destined for great things in the duos scene.

The team ended the year with 4 Elite cups, 1 Cash Cup, and one 3rd place finish in an FNCS Final. Nevertheless, their most amazing achievement was not a win but instead getting the second-place finish at the biggest competitive Fortnite event of the year, i.e., the FNCS Invitational.

 

The invitational tournament was an international, in-person event that was held in North Carolina. It featured all the best pros in the world playing and fighting to win a share of a  1 million dollar cash pot.

 

In the end, Veno and Queasy took 14% of the jackpot with them, which resulted in a total of 140k split between both players.

 

In solos, Veno could easily prove his talent with only a handful of top 10 finishes in cash cups as well as a respectable 7th-place ranking at the LAN DreamHack Summer event.

 

 

Queasy (Galaxy Racer Esports)

Queasy is on the Galaxy Racer Esports’ roster and is one of the top-rated EU players in the pro-Fortnite community. Talking about Queasy vs. Veno, there is very little that sets the two players apart since most of their accomplishments were in duos when they were working as one.

 

The key difference between the two amazingly skilled players is that Queasy had a slightly better solos run in 2022 as compared to Veno. As a matter of fact, Queasy won alongside former duos partner Hen.

 

Overall, as a result of his extra tournament wins and his better solos form, we are forced to put Queasy over Veno in this list of the top 5 Fortnite players in 2023.

 

 

Setty (Become Legends)

Setty, a 19-year-old Polish sensation, is the owner of the number 2 spot on our list. For people who follow pro-Fortnite, Setty is a man who does not need any introduction as everybody is quite aware of him already.

 

This is a player who had won the DreamHack Summer event as well as the FNCS Invitational, arguably the two most massive tournaments in the calendar year. Due to this, Setty has earned the label of a big-stage player in the Fortnite community.

This means that he thrives in high-pressure situations, such as different live events. However, Setty was not always famous for his composure and high-profile tournament antics. In fact, at the start of each year, Setty faced some difficulty in making an impression playing with his ex-duos partner Chapix.

 

After a couple of disappointing results in early 2022, the pair decided to go their own ways. The breakup set the scene for an amazing partnership between the two Polish phenomena, i.e., Setty and Kami.

As a team, these two destroyed their enemies like they were absolutely nothing and won the most prestigious tournaments, including the all-important FNCS Invitational. Their instant chemistry and complimentary playstyles made them an undefeated force.

 

Also, their victory at the FNCS Invitational effectively solidified their claim as the undisputed kings of Fortnite duos. To put it simply, no one was better than Setty and Kami in 2022, and that is why we gave them the number 1 and 2 spot on our list.

 

 

Kami

Kami is our number-one pick for the best Fortnite player in 2023. Once again, it is a case of fine margins between two players that achieved most of their successes as a team. Out of the two, it is hard to know who is the better player as they are nearly inseparable in each category.

 

It is also difficult to imagine where one would be without the other. That being said, Kami’s placement in solo cash cups was a little better as compared to Setty’s, and he even managed to win a couple of solo tournaments, which Setty was unable to do.

In the end, Setty and Kami are almost identical in every regard, including the fact that they are both a class apart from the competition and that they are undeniably the two best players in competitive Fortnite as of right now.

 

 

Becoming an Elite Player

 

Ever since its release back in 2017, Fortnite has shaped a generation of gamers and put renewed emphasis on the idea of competitive play and organized competitions. The result has been a significant increase in the number of Esports organizations, competitions, and above all else, players.

 

Due to the nature of public qualifiers, winning any major Fortnite tournament automatically puts one among the top 1% of players in the game. Nevertheless, it is only through winning several crucial tournaments that you can be considered one of the best Fortnite players in the world and in the same league as other players on this list.

 

Distinguishing oneself from the hordes of professional players is one thing that requires constant practice as well as excellent knowledge of the game. No player gets to be a top dog without putting in the work and grinding, along with the endless practice hours.
