Winning a finals to bringing it back, having over 100,000 viewers, 180,000 viewers on grand finals. The best player of that season like. Bro, my brothers came back to where it was.”

This clip started a number of discussions on social media platforms. While some of the users said that what he is saying is not true, some said that he was the only one who was loyal to Fortnite when other gaming streamers were not.
Clix’s Controversial Statement About NBA Players
Clix is the co-owner of XSET and is known for making the most controversial statements. Moreover, he has compared Fortnite players and basketball players in the past. He stated that NBA players are not as professional as Fortnite players. He said:
“Becoming a pro in Fortnite is so much harder than becoming an NBA player. Now let me speak. You can become born and instantly be seven foot. You put in same amount of work, you’re in the NBA just like that because you have height advantage, you get what I’m saying? Now, let me tell you about Fortnite. No, no, let me tell you guys about Fortnite. Do you know how hard it is to have the reaction time? To have all the fingers to be spamming the perfect buttons at the perfect time, at the perfect second. To rotate a dead side zone while zoned. By the way, while you need 90 surge, you’re 90 below on surge, while rotating. Fully moving zone man, no fu**ing maths in it. Coming out as an outcome of winning the game. Who could do that? Who could do that? All I need to do in the NBA is hit a fu**ing 3. You get what I’m saying here?”

In addition to this, he was previously embroiled in a controversy, back in March 2024, for comparing streaming to labour-intesive industries like construction. He claimed that no matter the industry, “hard work is hard work.” He said:
“Hard work is hard work at the end of the day. Like, construction is f**king hard f**king work if you are working your a** off. Streaming is hard work if you are actually working hard, you know what I am saying?
