Which Streamers Deserve A Fortnite Skin?
While the Fortnite Icon Series has rewards many of the worlds top streamers with their very own skin in their likeness (such as Ninja, Loserfruit, and Lazarbeam) some Fortnite content creators seem to be left on the shelf when it comes to their very own doppelganger cosmetics.
Not only is it a huge honour to be recognised by Epic Games in this way, but fans are always hyped when their fave streamer finally gets a skin they can purchase and wear too.
There are plenty of household name streamers, YouTubers, and content creators whose fanbases think they deserve a skin in Fortnite Battle Royale.
Benjamin "DrLupo" Lupo

He also broke the Fortnite world record for vehicle trick points with the Quadcrasher (a score of 49,256,200) in 2018, and cemented his place as a FN streamer.
With 4.4M followers on Twitch, and with all his charitable donations, there isn't anyone more deserving of a Fortnite skin than DrLupo.
Turner "Tfue" Tenney
Click to enlargeTfue has consistently pulled numbers on his Twitch streams playing Fortnite, and even though his relationship with the game is tumultuous as best, he still deserves a Fortnite skin.
While fans may joke that he already resembles "Jonesy", a character in the game, his fans would love to see him immortalised with a Fortnite Icon Series skin.
Tim "TimTheTatman" Betar

Jack "CouRage" Dunlop

Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf

Nicholas "NickEh30" Amyoony
Click to enlargeNickEh30 rose to Fortnite fame on YouTube, but was one of the first to start the trend of moving exclusively to Twitch. The Canadian is still one of the most-watched streamers today, and is always family-friendly.
Ali "Myth" Kabbani
Click to enlargeThe wunderkind of Fortnite, the young prodigy Myth started early at just 18 years old. Known for cranking 90s and joking around, he’s definitely in the running for a Fortnite skin of his own.
Myth always wore the Skull Trooper skin, so a customised version of that would be perfect.
Nick “Nickmercs” Kolcheff
Click to enlargeNickmercs has been streaming Fortnite since time immemorial and is known for his controller gameplay, whereas most players prefer keyboard and mouse. A Nickmercs skin complete with a controller would be the ideal way to design his Fortnite Icon Series skin.
Ali "Sypher PK" Hassan

Alastair James "Ali-A" Aiken
