## Bio

Kyle Giersdorf was born December 30, 2002, and by his mid-teens was streaming under the name Bugha. The Fortnite World Cup arrived in 2019 when he was sixteen, and he won it outright - a performance that cemented him as the face of competitive Fortnite and handed him more prize money in one event than anyone else in the game has made across an entire career. The result was both a personal windfall and a claim often repeated since: best Fortnite player of all time. He streams on Twitch now, the title trailing him.
