The Fortnite player has become a player and co-owner of XSET.
Fortnite superstar Cody "Clix" Conrod is the newest member of XSET, an esports organization based in Boston, MA. The brand re-entered the Fortnite space last month and has now signed the game's biggest name ahead of the $4M Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS) Global Championship in Copenhagen, Denmark.
It's a monumental moment as Clix prepares for the most significant tournament of the year. He will compete under the XSET banner.
Clix joins XSET as player and co-owner
In January 2023, NRG exited the Fortnite scene, leaving Clix without an organization to represent. Nine months later, Clix has agreed to join XSET as a Fortnite player and co-owner, bringing his popular DR3AMIN' clothing brand along for the ride.
Shortly after the announcement, which included entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, the XSET website launched a collaboration with Clix's DR3AMIN' brand. This XSET x DR3AMIN' references the movie Donnie Darko.
