Build It Like benjyfishy & MrSavage

BEHIND EVERY PROFESSIONAL ESPORTS PLAYER IS A SUPPORT TEAM MAKING THEIR DREAMS COME TRUE. Anne Fish, mother of Benjy "benjyfishy" Fish and Johnny Troset Andersen, father of Martin "MrSavage" Foss Andersen were plunged into the world of esports when their sons transitioned from gaming enthusiasts to becoming professional Fortnite players and duo partners. They soon found themselves signing contracts with esports organisations and providing all the administrative and technical support it takes to manage a player and their business. In this book, Anne and Johnny share the highs and lows of their individual journeys as parents in supporting the esports careers of their sons, from the early days of trying to create a balance between gaming and education, to dealing with tournament disappointments and social media negativity. This book may not teach you about Fortnite gameplay or tactics, but it aims to support future professional players, and inform esports-novice parents, and anyone interested in supporting young players.
