Police have not made any arrests in the case, but they're asking anyone with information to give them a call at 215-686 tips. That's a hell of a video shoot. Yeah. A 16-year-old from Potts Grove won the $3 million grand prize at the first ever

Fortnite competition held in New York's Arthur Ash or Tennis Stadium.

That's pretty cool. That's awesome. Yeah.

$40 million. He's 16 years old. That's wow. Yeah. Wow.

Kyle Abuga Gerstoff made a name for himself by dominating from the first round and ultimately

taking home the $3 million grand prize for individual players.

That's the largest ever payout for a single player in an e-sports tournament.

How many kids this morning are to go, see?

Yep.

You see!

And he plays eight to ten hours a day. That's eight to ten hours a day I said that last night I was like well maybe I'll just let jace play but as you

said before it's the same thing that anybody who's a kid who gets into sports the odds are still

against you oh so you got to be damn good they were calling it a sports tournament. No, yeah, of course. It's e-sports. What did the second place guy get? Second place winner, 24-year-old Harrison Chang, a former professional heroes of the storm player won $1.8 million. Okay. And then Epic Whale, who has not publicly, I guess, revealed his identity, took third winning $1.2 million. Jesus. Okay. So I thought that the difference in the tiers here of the money. No, it's so pretty substantial all the way down. Much lower. I thought it would go from, you know, $3 million down to hundreds of thousands. Well, look at Fart Huffer, eighth place. Oh, stop it. No, $375,000. Farnhoffer. You see, listen, and this is... These athletes have different names. This is what I am going to say to my son. If you look at the top 10 people here, all of their usernames don't have any, like, numbers or anything like that in them because I gave him a cool name, and he changed it. This is not a time for remorse. It is not. No, it's a time for celebration. I'm not remorseing. I'm just saying, listen, man, you had a cool name that you didn't have to, like, throw numbers at the end of because, you know, it was one of, you know, a thousand types of names. Were you upset by this? I was. You were watching them? Casey Foster made an astonishing admission this morning, saying that he had proffered a different name with a number that was refused. We go down to Jimmy Gloucestersk outside the Pentagon. Jim. Is that true that Casey offered that name and it was rebuffed? Yes, that's true, Tom. Thank you, Jim. Wait a minute. So, okay, can we find out what your original name was? So his name. By the way, yeah, 16, you won $3 million. Yeah, whatever, whatever. My 12-year-old, his actual name, his human name is Seamus. Yeah, Okay. His human name is Seamus. Right.

And it's spelled S-E-A-M-U-S.

Right. Okay. His name on Fortnite was

C-Mussels, but it was spelled like we pronounce it, Shay Muscles.

Okay. That's good. But it was C-Mussels. That's so if you were to read it, well would look like sea muscles. I like that. And it had no numbers, no nothing in it. So now is it that with numbers? No. No, it's like, you know, freaking blaze something or other. Something stupid. Something stupid with like a zero as an O. So is that the name that would have won a young man, $3 million?

We don't know Jim Elishowski outside the Pentagon.
