World Cup Qualifier
Vivid entered the solo portion of the Fortnite World Cup Qualifiers with high expectations, as a player who has warranted the reputation as a clutch player who performs best when the pressure is on him, he was for sure in his natural habitat.
He qualified for the Fortnite World Cup Finals in week one of the event, mustering a late push into qualification territory sealed the deal for the Team Liquid star. Vivid was also quite emotional in an interview with the official Fortnite stream moments after his qualification. During week one, Vivid opted to land at Junk Junction which is nestled at the North-Western point of the map and has become the home of other notable professional players due to its high chest count and materials. Also, the location has ample amounts of mobility as located to the East of Junk Junction is numerous quad and drift board spawns.

Vivid is one of the most experienced and original professional players still competing at the top of the scene, and with that, he has had to adjust his playstyle multiple times throughout Fortnite’s legacy like many others have had too. As being the veteran, Vivid also warrants the reputation as one of the smartest players in the game right now.
Vivid rarely challenges a player in the early game for a 50-50 right off the drop, instead, he prefers to play into his natural skills which are endgames. It makes sense for Vivid as he is one of the sharpest aimers in the game along with being one of the most mechanically gifted players. His outlook is why risk dying off of spawn over a weapon when he can gain the advantage over the player to best suit his skills.
It has also become custom to see Vivid dominate end game situations, especially during moving zones where every player is in a frantic trying to build tunnels, all, while this is going on Vivid, is pincered in analyzing the situation to gain the advantage even more.
