Mikson

Mikołaj Kazanecki, known in the Fortnite world as Mikson, is a professional player from Poland, born on April 30, 2006. By the age of 19, he has already managed to not only make a name for himself on the European stage, but also earn over $137,000 in prize money, having played in 46 tournaments. On the global stage, his position is #2557 in the world ranking, and #37 among the best players in Poland. His path in esports began small, but at the age of 15, Mikson won his first $4,000 at FNCS: Grand Royale 2021. This was just the beginning. Mikson achieved his greatest success in 2023, when he earned almost $80,000, taking high places in several major competitions. His most memorable performances were in:

• FNCS: Major 3 2023 (5th place, $30,000)
• Gamers8 2023 (16th place, $9,100)
• DreamHack Summer 2023 (4th place, $7,500)

He continued to hold the bar in 2024, earning over $17,000, and in 2025 he already added over $4,000 to his coffers. By the time he turned 18, Mikson already had over $123,000 in his account, which is almost 90% of his total prize money. His career has developed quickly, and he has managed to use his young age to his advantage: flexibility, reaction speed, and a fresh outlook have made him one of the most promising players in Europe. The majority of his prize money, around $109,000, was earned in online tournaments, but Mikson has also shown a high level on the LAN scene, winning almost $29,000 in offline competitions. His performance for the Become Legends team is especially worth noting, as he won $9,100 at the Gamers8 2023 event.

• $30,000 for 7th place at FNCS: Chapter 3 Season 3 Grand Finals (2022)
• $30,000 for 5th place at FNCS: Major 3 2023 Grand Finals (2023)

Mikson is an example of how young age is not a limitation, but rather a springboard into big-time esports. His stability, perseverance, and success at major tournaments make him one of the key figures in the Fortnite scene in Poland. And judging by the current dynamics, this is just the beginning.
