Pro esports org 100 Thieves, which also operates a lucrative merch division and branded content business, has added two Fortnite pros to its fleet: Brendan ‘Falconer’ Falconer and Brett ‘Grandma’ Squires, per numerous missives on Twitter.
Falconer has previously competed alongside 100 Thieves player Arkhram, where the duo finished fifth at the most recent Fortnite World Cup, taking home a $900,000 prize, per Dexerto. Squires, formerly known as GrandmaTeets, is known for playing quite a bit of Fortnite with noted celeb superfan Drake. (Drake, for his part, is also an investor in 100 Thieves, as is noted music manager Scooter Braun).
Falconer counts 1,400 Twitch followers, while Squires has 1,000 followers.
