Mongraal is another European Fortnite player and a member of FaZe Clan. He is an aggressive player with incredible reflexes. He has been competing professionally for a long time even though he is just 16. His most prominent victory of 2020 saw his Trios team take first place in the FNCS Grand Finals.

Things have slowed down in the last portion of 2020 for Aqua, but he spent the first half of the year on a dominant streak. 2021 will hopefully see the return of in-person competitions. If there is one player who has shown he is ready for the return of LAN tournaments, its Aqua. He ends 2020 as one of the brightest Fortnite players of the year.

There is only one Fortnite player that could top a list of the best. Bugha still plays Fortnite at the high level he is known for. As the current, and only, Fortnite World Cup Solos Champion, he'll remain the best until someone proves otherwise.

2021 may just see the Fortnite World Cup return, even if Epic Games has said otherwise. Bugha will be the best player in the world until another player is crowned World Cup Champion.
