Although he’s flown under the radar, Smqcked has quietly done well since first arriving on the scene in 2019. He qualified for the FNCS Grand Finals in Season X, Chapter 2 - Season 1, Invitational, Chapter 2 - Season 3 and Chapter 2 - Season 4. His best result occurred in Chapter 2 - Season 1, where he and his squadmates claimed fifth place and $37.5K USD in total. Smqcked also narrowly missed qualifying for the Fortnite World Cup. Regardless, he compiled an impressive string of results despite not being a recognizable name.
Smqcked will look to bring some of that success to one of the premier esports organizations in the world. As for G2 Esports, who knows what Ocelote and company have up their sleeves next in competitive Fortnite.
