Many children celebrate their 8th birthday by blowing out the candles on the cake. Joseph Deen, who became one of the youngest professional players in the world with his talent in the Fortnite game, made history by signing a $ 33,000 deal. With millions of players online, Fortnite has already made rich 8-year-old American Josep Deen. Signing a contract with the e-sports organization Team 33, Deen earned $ 33,000. Enjoying his signature in December 2020, the young Californian player visited Team 33's headquarters to get the high-speed computer system. “I felt great when the contract was offered. I've always been thinking of becoming a professional actor. Nobody took me seriously until Team 33 arrived. ” Playing Fortnite since the age of 4, Joseph was first noticed 18 months ago by an amateur esports team. Speaking about the discovery of Joseph, Tyler Gallagher, CEO and co-founder of Team 33, said, “One of our actor discovery team contacted me and we need to meet this kid named Joseph. He's insanely good. ' After that, they played a one-on-one match every day. He said after a while we had to sign with Deen or we'd get him lost. ” Only two of the top 10 earning Fortnite players are over 18 years old. The first and so far only winner of the Fortnite World Cup is 16-year-old Kyle 'Bugha' Giesdorf, who won $ 3 million in 2019. This success was a source of inspiration for the American Joseph, who had just started the game at that time. “My dream is to be like Bugha and to play like him. I admire him because nobody took him seriously until he won the World Cup and I feel the same. Because nobody took me seriously until I signed it with Team 33. ” According to the world's leading organizations, Joseph is too young to play Fortnite. The game, which was first released in 2017, has PEGI 12 and ESRB 'young' certificates because it contains mild violence. PEGI (Pan European Game Information) separates games with age restrictions. The games specified as PEGI 12 may contain slang words, sexual curses, and violence, provided that they are light. Joseph's mom, Gigi, says this doesn't worry him, and he lets him play Fortnite for two or three hours a day after school and on weekends. “I looked at the game and I don't think we did anything wrong. He comes from a well-balanced child and a good family. So it is not affected. I know that there are mothers who are nagging for their children in this regard. They start playing after the age of 13 and go crazy. Then their children become rebellious. I do not see a problem. " According to public records, Joseph is the second youngest professional player ever. According to the Guinness Book of Records, American Victor De Leon III, known as 'Lil Poison' in online games, became the youngest professional player in 2005 at the age of seven.
