Well done Jaden Ashman! … You’ve really put UK on the map!
A British teenager has won nearly a million pounds after coming second alongside his teammate in the Fortnite World Cup finals. Jaden Ashman, from Essex will split $2.25m (£1.8m) with his Dutch partner.
The 15-year-old, competing under the name Wolfiez, told the BBC he was “stunned” to have finished so high.
