Over the years, several creators have played a huge role in making Fortnite one of the biggest games in the world. In return, Epic Games had initiated the Fortnite Icon Series to reward these gamers for their consistent efforts.

The latest name to join Ninja, Loserfruit, Lachlan, and TheGrefG, and become a Fortnite Icon is Lannan “LazarBeam” Eacott. The Australian YouTuber started out by playing and commentating on the Madden NFL video game series. However, he rose to prominence by playing Epic Games’ battle royale and hasn’t looked back ever since.

Fans around the world love LazarBeam for his hilarious and straightforward personality. Back in 2019, he even swore during a kid-friendly event for Fortnite.

He even mentioned the incident in a tweet:

LazarBeam honored his past through his Fortnite skin

Before becoming a YouTuber and acquiring the title “LazarBeam”, Lannan worked as a construction worker. He still remembers his past and wanted to honor it through the skin. Interestingly, certain styles for the skin also depict the ‘yeet’ and ‘code lazar’ tattoos.

To further celebrate his past, LazarBeam even built a house from in-game material in Fortnite with his own skin.

“Getting some materials! Very first thing I’m doing since I was a tradie, since I was a construction worker. I built a house boys! I used to build in real-life, now I build in Fortnite. Piece of Art!” said Lazar.

LazarBeam was live in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers when he entered the first match with his own skin. Naturally, he was nervous and afraid to encounter stream snipers. To his surprise, a majority of players surrendered themselves as soon as they spotted him.

“Well, having your own skin in the game is awesome! People just let you kill them, this is sick, I may never lose a game again,” joked the streamer.

Despite the inactivity lately, LazarBeam is still one of the best Fortnite players ever. Owing to his experience, he easily won the match and gave fans the Victory Royale they wanted.
