Finalist Speaks Out A fifteen-years-old kid from Sunbury named Benjyfishy is going to participate in the Fortnite World Cup and he said that the reason why he made it this far is because he practiced eight hours per day. All of Benjyfishy’s hard work might pay off if he performs well on the big stage. “I’ve only ever played in my bedroom so it will be different but right now, I’m really confident because I’ve been training so much. For the last two weeks, I’ve put in about 12 hours of training every day.”
