Fortnite Streamer Teeqzy Sets World Record with 43 Kill Victory

Ninja may hold the record for the most all time views of a Fortnite stream, but that doesn’t hold water next to this. The Belgian streamer Teeqzy recently entered squads in Fortnite and came out with the world record for kills in a victory match. Squads traditionally pits teams of four players against one another to see which one can come out on top. Like many pros, Teeqzy took to squads alone, and in the 18 minute slug fest, he managed to kill nearly half of the players on the entire map.

Teeqzy’s victory video was made all the more impressive because of the nonstop action of the match. Within the first few minutes of the match, Teeqzy gets nine kills, more than many players have when they finish a game of Battle Royale, but he doesn’t slow down. After seeing a rocket go howling by, Teeqzy spots a brawl between two squads and charges in without hesitation. After eliminating both squads, he continues to fight squad after squad at the location, ending the extended firefight with sixteen more kills. The video continues in this way with Teeqzy often low on health or shields and never hesitating to charge into a battle. His final kills against a full squad of 4 is after he snipes their stairs as they sit hundreds of feet above him. If two of the players hadn’t jumped, his kills would be even higher, at 45.

Like most of the current Fortnite streamers, Teeqzy got his start on other Battle Royales. Last year, he took a 1v4 victory at Dreamhack Atlanta’s H1Z1 qualifiers. He also currently plays for Millenium Esports Club, an organization with teams across a myriad of different esports.

The previous record for solo squads was 37 kills by Funk Bomb. Before that, the record was 36 kills in solo squads. The popularity of the choice to go solo in squads is usually two fold. First, players are grouped together far more than they are in solo queue. This is mostly due to the fact that players can revive one another in squads, but also because squads is frequently the mode of choice for friends looking to goof around and have a good time. This also leads into the second reason the mode is so popular with pros – the skill level. Squads is often populated by less skilled players, or at the very least, players that are more reckless because they have allies nearby. Pros take advantage of this and are able to do what Teeqzy did, which is lure enemies in one after the other while remaining calm.

No matter the circumstances, it is a huge success for the Belgian player, and it bodes well for whatever future there may be for competitive Fortnite.
