How many of you all think of the top influencers as at least 20 years old? Kylie Jenner, Justin Bieber, etc... well some of the most impactful influencers in 2019 through 2020 are teenage gamers. Bugha is a 17-year-old pro video game player who found his fame by winning the world cup finals solo tournament for the video game Fortnite.  Bugh went from a regular high school kid...to winning 3 million dollars first-place prize for a popular video game called Fortnite. He became instantly known around the world and was idolized by kids younger than him all over the world aspiring to turn this gaming hobby into a money-making career. He signed with the gaming organization called sentinels which provides him a monetary contract as well as a structure for his gaming career. He created the name bugha as his gaming identity as his full name is kyle giersdorf... after he became globally famous he dropped out of regular high school and started attending school through an online homeschool environment. He now streams on a streaming platform called Twitch, he averages anywhere from 5,000 to 20,000 viewers that solely watch him play a video game. Of the gaming community for kids who don't value sports as the competition, he is to younger kids what Michael Jordan is to basketball, of the gaming community. This tournament that he won has made the gaming community explode into new heights. He now is a 17-year-old kid who is sponsored by multiple companies like computer companies. emergy drink companies, and so many more. His influence on kids his age and especially on kids younger them he has never been witnessed in the world outside of the gaming arena because the gaming age to be a professional video game player is 13 where for professional sports it's much older.

My second influencer is Ewok... she is a 14-year-old professional video game streamer as well, however, she is the first-ever female streamer and gamer to join Faze clan which is the biggest gaming organization present day. She is not only a pro-female gamer at the age of 14 but she is also deaf... which as you might expect might produce a lot of difficulties at being a successful gamer.  in an interview, she states that being deaf gives her more confidence then it would because she doesn't fear the sounds the typically bring fear when gaming. It was huge news when she signed with faze clan because up until her signing the entire gaming organization was males and she not only is breaking the mold for a career path in gaming, but she is paving the way for females to succeed in the gaming industry which is wildly stereotyped to be dominated by males.
