While his exact date of birth remains unknown, his success in the competitive scene speaks for itself. Despite not being ranked globally, Marko is ranked in the top 130 players in Finland and has already earned over $21,000 in just 28 tournaments.

• 100% of his prize money was earned in Fortnite. Of this:
• 92% — in online tournaments
• 8% — in local/offline competitions

Marco's biggest win came in FNCS Chapter 3 Season 2 - Grand Finals (2022), finishing 24th and earning $3,500. Here are a few more of his notable results:

•  6th place in the 2023 Console Champions Cup - $3,000

Tuomas "Marko" Savolainen is an example of how perseverance and talent can lead to consistent results even on his own. Without being part of a top organization, he continues to participate in the main Fortnite events in Europe, gradually increasing his prize pool and gaining respect in the scene.
