LOS ANGELES, July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Commemorating the two-year anniversary of his monumental victory at the 2019 Fortnite World Cup Championship, Sentinels star Kyle "Bugha" Giersdorf will have his custom character skins released inside the Fortnite item shop starting today at 5 p.m. Pacific.
Bugha is the first-ever professional Fortnite player to have his likeness adopted into the game, joining the likes of popular influencers such as rapper Travis Scott, electronic music artist Marshmello, and Twitch streamer Ninja.
The Bugha Icon Series Set comes fully equipped with three variations of his likeness, a Fortnite World Cup trophy backpack complete with his dog Zoey, a dual blade pickaxe and the signature "Bring It Around" emote.
