The Australian twin brothers are popular within Fortnite circles and they also create content on platforms like YouTube and Twitch.

The ‘death’ rumors gained traction, especially since the brothers have been absent from social media and gaming platforms. The two have logged over 3,000 hours of gameplay and earned recognition as top Fortnite players in the Oceanic (OCE) gaming scene. They have over six million subscribers on YouTube and 2.5 million TikTok followers. However, they have not uploaded content or posted updates for months.
