Where Are They Now? Revisiting OCE Fortnite Veterans

The Oceania Fortnite scene was once a defining force, producing names that earned international recognition through FNCS victories, strong tournament runs, and massive streaming audiences. Players like Parpy, Radius, and the X2Twins helped elevate OCE esports to the global stage.

But over the past few years, many of these stars have stepped away. Some moved into new esports titles, others into different careers, and some quietly out of the public eye. As of September 2025, here’s where some of the region’s biggest names have landed:

Parpy: From World Cup to a Quiet Period

Abdullah “Parpy” Khudeish, a New Zealand-born standout, was one of OCE’s brightest stars and notably qualified for the 2019 Fortnite World Cup, helping bring international attention to the region. He had competitive stints with teams like Chiefs Esports before retiring from Fortnite in early 2020. He was briefly linked to Legacy Esports, though that organisation no longer operates in its former structure after being acquired in 2021.

As of 2025, Parpy has no public competitive affiliations, and his social media presence is minimal.

Tyraxe: A New Home in Destiny 2

Tyraxe retired from Fortnite in 2021 but stayed in gaming. By 2024, he made waves in Destiny 2, achieving a World’s First raid clear and later placing top six globally in Monolith’s Fall. His competitive presence remains strong in that space.

Raptah: Winning in Call of Duty

Raptah moved into Call of Duty, competing under Unity Visual, and captured titles in CDC Asia Pacific Cups, specifically 1st place at Cups #8 and #11 in 2025. He continues to balance his legacy identity from Fortnite with a growing profile in CoD competition.

RemiFNBR: From Esports to E-Commerce Venture

Remi stepped away from competitive Fortnite in 2022. Since then, he has moved on from gaming entirely. More recently, he has posted about running a dropshipping business, even claiming significant financial success from it. While exact figures are unclear, it represents one of the sharpest shifts in direction among OCE’s ex-pros.

Jynx: From PWR to Counter-Strike 2

Ryley “Jynx” Linde, a three-time FNCS champion, retired from Fortnite in early 2024 after leaving PWR, the organisation he had represented during some of his peak years. Following his departure, he transitioned to Counter-Strike 2, where he recently qualified for Extremesland Sydney. At 24, Jynx remains one of OCE’s most decorated competitors, now proving himself in a new title.

Gooboz: From OCE Staple to Casual Play

Jamie “Gooboz” was one of the most consistent names in OCE Fortnite. He played in over 30 major tournaments, earned close to $50,000 in prize money, and represented Overtime Gaming during his peak. Known for his steady performances in Cash Cups and FNCS events, Gooboz built a reputation as a reliable competitor.

By 2022, he stepped away from high-level competition. In 2025, his focus is almost entirely on MapleStory, a game he now plays regularly. He still interacts with the Fortnite community from time to time, but it’s clear he has left the pro grind behind.

Rel: Stepping Away for Life Outside Gaming

Ari “Rel” Roche officially quit Fortnite in 2023 to focus on life outside of esports. These days, his competitive presence is gone, Rel occasionally posts on Twitter, mostly casual updates about where he is or what he’s doing, but otherwise stays out of the gaming spotlight.

Fresh: Building Animo Studios

Harley “MrFreshAsian” Campbell, once one of OCE’s biggest Fortnite creators and a key member of Click, stepped away from streaming and competitive play after years of high-intensity content and eventual burnout. Since then, he has focused on Animo Studios, a live gaming startup he founded.

Animo Studios specializes in creating animated hosts for online table games and live entertainment, blending motion capture technology with interactive, character-driven experiences. The move highlights Fresh’s shift from being in front of the camera to building something innovative behind the scenes, marking one of the most ambitious career pivots among OCE’s former Fortnite stars.

X2Twins: The Disappearance

Jesse and Jordan Eckley, better known as the X2Twins, were once among OCE’s biggest Fortnite stars, building an audience of millions across YouTube and Twitch. By the end of 2024, they had gone completely inactive, with no streams or social media updates.

Their sudden silence led to speculation, and in November 2024 a TikTok rumor spread claiming the twins had died from “heart failure caused by gaming.” The story quickly went viral, sparking YouTube videos and even international discussion before it was proven false. Although fans were relieved the rumor was untrue, the brothers never spoke publicly about it.

As of 2025, the X2Twins remain offline, leaving fans uncertain about their future. They are alive, but their complete absence has turned one of OCE’s most popular duos into one of its biggest mysteries.

Radius: Quietly Leaving the Scene

Zachary “RadiusFN” was once one of OCE’s most consistent Fortnite pros. He regularly qualified for FNCS finals, earned strong placements with top teammates, and built a reputation as a reliable competitor. At his peak, he was signed to PWR, where he was seen as a key piece of their roster.

That ended when Radius was removed from PWR after racist comments surfaced publicly, which quickly ended his time at the top level of the scene. By 2024, his tournament activity had stopped completely, and he stepped away from competition.

As of 2025, Radius makes only rare appearances online and is no longer active in Fortnite.

Sync: Controversy and Quiet Ties to PWR

Like Radius, Sync was exposed for racist comments, which cut short his competitive run. The backlash forced him out of the spotlight, and he no longer competes seriously.

However, Sync still appears in PWR’s content videos and remains friends with players on the roster. He is not publicly listed as a member, as PWR avoids the brand risk with sponsors, but his connection to the org hasn’t completely ended.

As of 2025, Sync has no active competitive presence, and his social media is minimal. Still tied to PWR in the background, but kept out of the spotlight.

The Bigger Picture

These OCE players have taken very different paths, from new esports careers to business ventures or leaving gaming entirely. Their stories show both the challenges of competing from a smaller region and the opportunities that come after the spotlight fades.
