It has indeed been six years since one of the most iconic casters did have a stint at a pro tournament level for Fortnite. Now, they are back. The announcement about coming back with Cold was made in a tweet that left the Fortnite community in shock, which promises to take place in an unforgettable rivalry.
It has been the event that set the entire generation’s image for competitive gaming. Millions tuned into the event, broke records, and made overnight success stories from it. And then, in all the hype, drama, and sheer insanity that took place during Fortnite’s peak, a voice cut above the noise: this one. And now, that voice is back in the spotlight again after a five-year hiatus from the pro scene. And quite frankly? The hype is legit.
And therefore, at this moment got all the people curious about what’s going on. This tweet doesn’t really explain it, but the buzz is real. “I will make you all proud,” with an image hyping so much potential, had fans going crazy trying to figure it out. One-off? Or something bigger yet to be revealed? Who knows at this point, and the timing couldn’t have been better. Fortnite’s back in the competitive scene: the meta has been shaken up in Chapter 5, new talents are blooming, and that voice from earlier is back to navigate the chaos? Chef’s kiss.
And Cold for a second? Fort jugadores. This duo is stacked. Cold’s analytical talk married with the hype of the caster would have been a good recipe to make that next release of hyper energy. The tweet did not mention which particular tournament, but with FNCS qualifiers and DreamHack-events galore, it is pretty much safe to assume it is not just some comp time showmatch.
Those tweet responses are lit. Filled batters by 2019 nostalgia with requests from the casters for once-old-renowned lines, and they are tearing up over welcoming that return. No question-about as real a full-circle moment for Fortnite esports as much as possible.
So much went down since 2019, and boy is the world different now. Back then, streaming and everything to do with Fortnite was indeed king and the king at that. World Cup? $30 million? Felt pretty fever-dream. Well, that is past. Marketwise? Different. Does passion, however . . . still exist? Perhaps more. If this is the return of that caster, meaning a resurrection for competitive Fortnite, count us in.
So write it down, set the notification on Twitch, and get ready! This is going to be historic as these two take the mic tomorrow. And if going by history: Not casting. Reminding the world of pure magic when Fortnite was at its best. Surely something you won’t want to miss.
