After winning nearly $90,000 playing 'Fortnite,' a streamer got an emotional call from his father that was captured on video
- On Sunday, one "Fortnite" streamer won nearly $90,000 in one game.
- As he celebrated his win, his father called to congratulate him, and things got emotional.
- The entire exchange is a delight, and was thankfully captured on video.
"86 f---ing thousand dollars?! You're gonna need a f---ing tax guy!" the father of "Fortnite" streamer "Reverse2K" exclaimed to his son on Sunday night.
Carlos "Reverse2K" had just won exactly that, $86,000, in a single game of "Fortnite" during the Summer Skirmish series, a series of competitions centered around the game that takes place over eight weeks. And he won the $86,000 without even placing first.
"You won $26,000 more than first place!" his father says during a video of the exchange, captured by the streamer himself post-game. We first saw the video over at Kotaku.
Carlos held onto the title of most kills - "Holding the Throne" in the parlance of "Fortnite" - which got him $50,000 alone. Additionally, his placement overall in Sunday's Summer Skirmish game got him another $36,000. That put his total at an incredible $86,000.
It's no surprise that tears were rolling down his face as he spoke to his father.
"I would too, brother!" his father says in an especially heartwarming moment.
