No further details were provided. A source close to the deal told The Esports Observer that the companies will first debut an activation around popular Fortnite streamer and pro player Ali “Myth” Kabbani, offering players a chance to compete alongside him both live in person and online.

In March, 100 Thieves founder and CEO Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag gave away thousands of dollars to fans via Cash App.
