YouTuber Wins Fortnite Solo Match with Backflip
Joseph “Keeoh” Winkler, a popular Fortnite streamer from Cloud9, pulled off an impressive in-game feat yesterday. While his character was floating with balloons, he performed a backflip in his bedroom and secured a victory in a one-on-one Solo match.
The Clutch Moment
During the match, Keeoh built metal ramps and spotted his final opponent. To gain an advantage, he filled six balloons and took to the sky. In a moment of suspense, he yelled at his opponent, hoping they wouldn’t notice him, and even asked his chat to pray for him.
Nail-Biting Finish
Mid-flight, Keeoh stepped away from his keyboard and mouse, performed a backflip on a mattress, and watched as his opponent showered him with bullets. His health and shield dropped to just one point. Swiftly returning to his desk, Keeoh released the remaining balloons his character had and fired a shot with his Hunting Rifle, dealing 90 damage. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to secure the kill. However, with a quick glider deployment to avoid fall damage, Keeoh landed on the ground and delivered the final shot to claim victory.
A Familiar Stunt
This isn’t the first time Keeoh has incorporated a backflip into his gameplay. In the past, he won a match by performing a real-life backflip and using the backflip emote in-game. He also showcased his acrobatic skills at Twitchcon 2018, capturing the attention of the audience and camera during the Fall Skirmish tournament.
