As we went into 2021, we had the goal of starting the Team Singularity Fortnite Academy, with the goal of starting a platform that many young talents can work through and grow with the support of the organization. In the early stages of 2021, with the start of the Fortnite Academy, we signed two of the highest potential players in Europe and Brazil. We welcome Tomii and Lukkss to Team Singularity with the ambition and focus of helping them both grow into superstars, both with how they present themselves as role models and as players striving to reach the heights of competitive Fortnite. The year started strong for our Brazilian roster as we also turned our heads towards producing content with fast growing talented creators in the region.
With tournaments not being as consistently occurring as 2020, we were grateful to receive an invitation to FNCS Showdown in June 2020. KING was able to place 39th overall, earning a total of $1,750. Diguera was also able to place at the event, placing 55th, earning $1,000. Frans found himself in 83rd, earning $500 which would make Team Singularity’s earning at the event a total of $2,250. We were proud of the team, and we see them moving forward placing even higher in the future. Read about FNCS Showdown here – https://teamsingularity.com/fncs-showdown/
In March 2021, FNCS Trio Finals came around and the most feared trio in King, Cadu and Seeyun took center stage. The team absolutely dominated the tournament, proving that the work and faith we put into the team was paying off, as they went onto claim the trophy, earning a total of $75,000, and providing KING with his first ever major tournament win. In April, King went onto compete in the Gamers Club Cup. He placed a very respectable 6th place, taking home $600.
In the same month, we then made the decision to sign Mariana, a Fortnite Content Creator from Brazil. Mariana has become very supported on social media, especially with her TikTok. As she continues to grow, we continue to support her with her journey, and Mariana has been a great asset to Team Singularity ever since becoming a part of the team, and we only see her growing more and more heading into 2022.
With the main focus still being towards competition and being the number one team in Brazil, we were fortunate enough to acquire the signings of Diguera, Frans and Kitoz in May 2021. The announcement of these three incredibly talented players bolstered us to the number one ranking organisation in the region by a very large distance of second.
Moving into the second half of 2021, we added JohnCris7 to our content creation team. JohnCris has over 200k subscribers on YouTube alone and we are delighted to be able to work with a large influencer like himself.
Heading into the later stages of the year, we acquired the signings of Wizeira & KBR. Wizeira worked extremely hard and completed our academy programme and earned himself a professional contract. KBR has been growing rapidly this year with content and his competitive stature, and we fully expect them both to pushing towards the top of the leaderboards next year.
Following the success of the Fortnite team in 2021, we are very happy with the team, and we vision their potential breaking through in the coming months. 2022 will be a very important year for the team, and we cannot wait to get involved even more than we already are.
À medida que entramos em 2021, tínhamos o objetivo de lançar a Team Singularity Fortnite Academy, com o objetivo de iniciar uma plataforma pela qual muitos jovens talentos possam trabalhar e crescer com o apoio da organização. Nos estágios iniciais de 2021, com o início da Fortnite Academy, assinamos com dois dos maiores jogadores em potencial da Europa e do Brasil. Trouxemos Tomii e Lukkss para a Team Singularity com a ambição e o foco de ajudá-los a se tornarem superestrelas, tanto com a forma como eles se apresentam como modelos quanto como jogadores que se esforçam para alcançar as alturas do Fortnite competitivo. O ano começou forte para a nossa lista brasileira, pois também voltamos a cabeça para a produção de conteúdo com criadores talentosos em rápido crescimento na região.
Com os torneios não ocorrendo tão consistentemente quanto 2020, ficamos gratos por receber um convite para o FNCS Showdown em junho de 2020. KING conseguiu ficar em 39º lugar no geral, ganhando um total de US$1.750. Diguera também conseguiu participar do evento, ficando em 55º lugar, ganhando US$ 1.000. Frans se viu na 83ª, ganhando US$ 500, o que tornaria o ganho da Singularity no evento um total de US$ 2.250. Estávamos orgulhosos da equipe, e os vemos avançando ainda mais alto no futuro.

Em março de 2021, as Finais do FNCS Trio chegaram e o trio mais temido de King, Cadu e Seeyun assumiu o centro do palco. A equipe dominou absolutamente o torneio, provando que o trabalho e a fé que colocamos na equipe estavam valendo a pena, já que eles conquistaram o troféu, ganhando um total de US$75.000 e proporcionando ao KING sua primeira grande vitória no torneio. Em abril, King começou a competir na Gamers Club Cup. Ele garantiu um respeitável 6ºlugar, onde acabou levando US$600 para casa.
No mesmo mês, tomamos a decisão de assinar com Mariana (MariBorgs), uma Criadora de Conteúdo focada em Fortnite do Brasil. Mariana se tornou muito apoiada nas mídias sociais, especialmente com seu TikTok. À medida que ela continua a crescer, continuamos a apoiá-la em sua jornada, e Mariana tem sido um grande trunfo para a Equipe Singularity desde que se tornou parte da equipe, e só a vemos crescer cada vez mais indo para 2022.
Com o foco principal ainda sendo a competição e sobre ser a equipe número um no Brasil, tivemos a sorte de adquirir as contratações de Diguera, Frans e Kitoz em maio de 2021. O anúncio desses três jogadores incrivelmente talentosos nos reforçou para a organização de classificação número um na região por uma distância muito grande de segundo.
Passando para o segundo semestre de 2021, adicionamos o JohnCris7 à nossa equipe de criação de conteúdo. JohnCris tem mais de 200 mil inscritos apenas em seu YouTube e estamos muito satisfeitos por poder trabalhar com um grande influenciador como ele.
Indo para as fases posteriores do ano, adquirimos as contratações da Wizeira & KBR. Wizeira trabalhou arduamente e completou nosso programa de academia e ganhou um contrato profissional. O KBR tem crescido rapidamente este ano com conteúdo e sua estatura competitiva, e esperamos que ambos decolem para o topo das tabelas de classificação no próximo ano.
Após o sucesso da equipe de Fortnite em 2021, estamos muito felizes com a equipe e visualizamos os limites de seu potencial se romper nos próximos meses. 2022 será um ano muito importante para a equipe, e mal podemos esperar para nos envolver ainda mais do que já estamos.
