As competitive FPS is the mainstay of his channel, it’s well worth looking at the equipment that makes up BenjyFishy’s gaming setup.

BenjyFishy first started streaming in November 2018 and soon made a name for himself after consistently ranking high in various online tournaments. However, his follower base really started skyrocketing when he successfully qualified to compete in the first ever Fortnite World Cup Championship in July 2019 for both the Solo and Duo finals. He ultimately placed 9th in Solos and 14th in Duos alongside MrSavage. Since then, he has continued to stream full time while being homeschooled, and still competes in online tournaments along with other prominent streamers such as LeTsHe and Mongraal.
