Summary
Cody “Clix” Conrod is a popular Fortnite player who has been playing the game since he was 13.
Now 20, he has deals with brands such as JBL and is co-owner and ambassador for esports organisation XSET.
At SXSW he took part in a creator panel and said he was more interested in a career in acting than making his own games.
Conrod feels the best Fortnite players peak around the age of 16 and admits it is rare to find top players older than 23.
He said gaming is becoming more acceptable and advised others to follow their passion, showing their parents proof that it is possible to turn gaming into a career.
Conrod said the best moment of his career so far was qualifying for the Fortnite World Cup, which had a $100m prize pool and tens of millions of viewers.
