Prepare for some wholesome news as Fortnite player Rocky Stoutenburgh, aka RockyNoHands, has signed a lucrative deal with Luminosity Games. Stoutenburgh is known for his huge following and competing in Epic Games' battle royale brawler.
Elsewhere, he's hit headlines by competing in PUBG and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare by rising to the top and using a device controlled by his mouth called Quadstick.
RockyNoHands signs for Luminosity Gaming
Stoutenburgh was left a quadriplegic after an accident in 2006 where he was play-wrestling and friends fell on his head. With the help of his brother Andrew, Rocky researched which adaptive controllers he could use. He eventually settled on the Quadstick, which also has the medical benefit of helping strengthen his lungs.
Luminosity released a new video welcoming Rocky to the family and told his inspiring video. In the clip, Stoutenburgh called himself the "best in the world at playing video games with my mouth".
He's also a record-breaking success who landed in the Guinness Book of World Records twice in 2020 for "Most Victory Royales in Fortnite using a QuadStick mouth-operated joystick" and "Most eliminations in a Fortnite Battle Royale using a QuadStick mouth-operated joystick".
Discussing his latest move, Stoutenburgh said, "My biggest achievement from streaming so far is joining Luminosity Gaming. It's been one of the dreams of mine to join a top gaming organisation like them, and I couldn't be any happier to wear the blue".
Despite being known for his Fortnite skills, Rocky said he's currently focussing more on Warzone. The star on the rise also claims he thinks Infinity Ward's title is the best he's ever been at a game.
He now joins a growing roster of esports stars that includes Harley "MrFreshAsian" Campbell, Elliott "Muselk" Watkins, and Ludwig “Anomaly” Lagerstedt.
With RockyNoHands boasting nearly 65,000 Twitch followers and over 50,000 YouTube subscribers, expect that to climb now he's officially signed onto the Luminosity books.
