With six FNCS titles, over $1 million in tournament earnings, and a victory at the 2023 FNCS Global Championship, Mero has cemented his place among Fortnite's legends.
His competitive rise began in 2020 when he won Chapter 2 Season 4 alongside Deyy and Reverse2k, later reuniting with the same trio for another title in Chapter 2 Season 6. In 2021, Mero trio'd with Bugha and Muz to win Chapter 2 Season 8 and the Grand Royale. His successful partnership with Bugha continued into 2022, winning Chapter 3 Season 1 while consistently placing top-three in subsequent seasons.
In 2023, Mero joined forces with Cooper after a period of difficulty finding elite teammates following his temporary departure from competition.
