TSM Pick Up Junior Fortnite Squad

It’s no secret that Fortnite is popular with gamers of any age. It’s easy to pick up and play, especially since it’s on so many platforms, but the skill ceiling is incredibly high. Kids all across the world are playing Fortnite, and some are seriously good at the game. Due to Epic’s understandable rule about only letting players above the age of 16 compete in official events, TSM has decided to create “TSM Fortnite Jr”.

This is a squad of four Fortnite players that all proved themselves as worthy during Epic’s Winter Royale open qualifiers. According to TSM, they “felt that these players deserved a solid opportunity to make their names known and show the world their talent.” As such, they’ve formed the TSM Fortnite Jr. roster in order to “help them grow and give them valuable experience as they pursue a career within esports.” Here’s the full TSM Fortnite Jr. roster:

• Jonah “Slappie” Mills - 15 years old
• Owen “wintrrz” Wolfram - 14 years old
• “Commandment” - 13 years old
• “Cloud” - 15 years old

“Joining TSM is a dream come true for me,” said Slappie. “I have looked up to the TSM pro players and streamers for a long time and I am so proud to be joining the team.” Commandment echoed his thoughts, saying that he “never really thought I would be joining an org at my current age - especially not such a prestigious organisation as TSM.”

This is undoubtedly the opportunity of a lifetime for these kids. When each of them turns 16, expect to see them competing in future official Fortnite tournaments. Cloud, for example, placed 112 in the NA Winter Royale qualifiers which is a phenomenal achievement for someone just 15 years old.
