The FNCS Pro-Am results are in, with one not so-surprising winner and one content creator who massively stepped up! Heading in, Peterbot was definitely one of the favorites as one of the best players in Fortnite’s history. But as a Pro-Am the other half of those teams were a complete wild card. The final FNCS Pro-Am results have a few surprises and it ended up much closer than we might have expected.

Peterbot and Aussie Antics Win FNCS Pro-Am
Peterbot and Aussie Antics were our ultimate winners of the FNCS Pro-Am. But this tournament was by no means a Peterbot curb stomp. We saw tons of surprises across the weekend. Starting with Game 2, which had one of the biggest moments of the tournament. The breakout player of recent FNCS Majors, Clix clinched the win with an absurd clip.
Clix was stood on height at the end circle, with a strange loadout of shockwaves and meds. Including tons of mythic Slurps, giving him protection from storm to grab multiple kills with Shocks. Including shocking his own teammate into the storm.
He ended the game by shocking both himself and the last remaining enemy into the storm, tanking the storm damage thanks to his slurps and winning through a clip-worthy play. A fantastic moment and one could have backfired. But Clix was one of our first FNCS Pro-Am winners.
Peterbot Farms Content Creators for More Kills
His pleas on stream to change his skin got granted when the servers crashed. We got half an hour with the FNCS Pro-Am stream down, with NickEh30 doing push ups in the center stage to keep the LAN crowd engaged.
FNCS Pro-Am Results Delayed
Game 4 eventually got back underway, and back to the same theme. Players continuing to farm kills off content creators by shooting them out of the sky after their reboots. Made worse by Peterbot happening on the Mythic Pulse Rifle. Game 4 saw quite a few impressive moments from the streamer part of the Pro-Am teams and sent the eventual FNCS Pro-Am winners to the top of the leaderboard.
Maybe the most impressive was Aussie Antics, a player who didn’t even actively play Fortnite anymore, preferring to commentate over esports. That didn’t stop him from piecing up Mongraal and grabbing the kill. One of many kills from that Duo on Mongraal and Ali-A. They went on to win the game and went sailing to nearly the top of the FNCS Pro-Am results. But that was after an impressive showing from CourageJD, not a content creator most rank at the top, but held his own in the mainly pro-late game builds. Taking out multiple world beating players.
Aussie and Peterbot deserved the win in the end, with a fantastic play that saw Peter clicking out the last player as a shock was being launched. A split-second kill to decide things, putting them in 2nd.
RNG Decides FNCS Pro-Am Results in Game 5
Next in game 5, Rezon picked up what’s often called the Fortnite Reload dev chest. The chest with a chance of spawning under a single percent, or a percentage of a percentage. A crazy pull, and a massive advantage thanks to the Fortnite gods of RNG. We even saw the exotic playing a key role later, with the explosive damage from the AR putting intense pressure on Clix.
Rezon’s Mythics was still coming in the clutch in the final, burning the remaining players from height and winning the game with it. A stroke of luck, but it takes a lot of skill to deliver on that.
$50,000 Prize Pool Comes Down to a Single Round
At the final game, only a single point was standing between the top two to become the FNCS Pro-Am winner. Peterbot and Cooper’s teams, with 3rd place was only marginally behind. The whole tournament to play for in a single game.
With so much to play for, it came down to a final scuffle on the low ground. With Cooper scrounging for a few more kills after Peterbot went down. With low enough points between them to close up. After Podasai and Nikof took victory though, Peterbot and Aussie Antics officially locked in the win with Cooper finishing up only 4 points shy! The entire top five in the FNCS Pro-Am results were incredibly close at the end. With less than 20 points between 1st and 5th.
Not a huge surprise for Peterbot, the now back-to-back LAN winner. But for Aussie Antics who is normally more at home on the commentator table, a huge win! He took plenty of pride in pointing out it’s the first accomplishment of this type for an OCE player on stream, with even the smallest Fortnite regions winning major events. (Provided they’re paired up with Peterbot)
Shocks might have been the big surprise. A Fortnite staple but normally not in the tournament loot pool! We’ve seen some fantastic shockwave plays. From players healing mid-shock, to using them to get kills to storm, tons of creative ways to use the shocks. We’re kind of seeing why we don’t use them in FNCS lobbies as they’re clearly chaos, but it’s definitely kept things interesting.
