One of the most successful Fortnite players in the last few years has been Pollo. The player shot to prominence part way through the list of Fortnite seasons, but has become one of the strongest performers we’ve ever seen. He’s had a historic rise. He’s approaching the peak of the game in terms of FNCS wins.

Who is Pollo? Profile, Earnings, Settings

If you want to follow competitive Fortnite, the top players are always a great place to start. Pollo was a standout in NAC last year, with most FNCS finals dominated by his Trio. Along with three consecutive wins in the year before. But how much are Pollo’s Fortnite earnings? And what does the settings and set-up for Pollo look like?

Who is Pollo?

Pollo is a Fortnite pro and one of the best-known players in the game’s recent history. His earliest results are a few years old, but the big wins started to come in 2023. For this FNCS season he moved his Duos partner around a little bit, pairing with defiable, before joining up with Sphinx. In all three Majors he placed well though. Going from 2nd in NA West, to 3rd in NAC. Things went to the next level for Pollo when he teamed up with Peterbot or the next Chapter.

Right now, Peterbot might be the better-known name out of this duo. But when they first joined up together, both were known as big up and comers with Pollo attracting a ton of attention. It turned out this new Duo was perfect for the Chapter 5 Fortnite meta. Beginning in Major 1, where they came in 2nd.

That was followed by an insane run through the rest of the year. Win after win, before making it to the Global Championship. Where they completed a strong year coming in 1st. They had the best loot, but were far and away the best Duo at the tournament. Then, they split for Chapter 6.

For the next Fortnite Chapter, Pollo and Peterbot split into two different Trios. Pollo went with Ajerss and acorn, winning the first FNCS Major for his region. This Trio showed much stronger team play. While no one had Peterbot’s mechanics, they played as a team, and had better collective tactics. They stumbled a bit in Major 2, but the final one came down to the last game, where they only just came in second.

For the Global Championship, Pollo’s team were outshone by a lot of Europe. The NAC teams collectively seemed to lose the plot when it came to surge trading, being bettered by the more organized European counterparts. Pollo’s Trio did have some brave tries though, attempting to take things into their own hands. It didn’t really pan out, but Pollo didn’t just roll over.

That’s who Pollo is and what kind of performance he’s had in the game’s history, but what about his settings? While there’s overall ideas or the best Fortnite settings, looking at what individual players use can be a good example too. Seeing how the best Fortnite pros run the game. This is Pollo’s set-up:

Pollo’s Fortnite Earnings

One of the big questions with any pro who has performed at this level for this long, is what’s Pollo’s Fortnite earnings? The player has amassed quite a lot in the years since he rose to the top of the game’s meta. As of 2025’s end and the new Fortnite esports season, it’s sat at around this number:

  • $690,000

A lot of this cash comes from that LAN win, and the other FNCS events. Although, Pollo does compete in plenty of smaller tournaments to stay in top shape through the year. This definitely helps to keep Pollo’s earnings up there. While he’s not ranking as one of the Fortnite pros with the highest earnings yet, another year could see him climb that list.
