Strangers paid to play Fortnite fill PWR's Melbourne week
A tournament at Fortress in Melbourne put a $1,000 prize in front of random players, and a stranger-hunting follow-up passed three quarters of a million views.

Who found the BEST stranger to play Fortnite? 😭👀
PWR spent the week handing Fortnite to people it had never met. The team, whose tags point to Lachlan as the familiar face, took randoms to Fortress in Melbourne and paid them to enter a tournament, with a thousand dollars promised to the winner. A day later came the sequel of sorts, "Who found the BEST stranger to play Fortnite? 😭👀", and that one has traveled further, now close to 800,000 views.
Four uploads in all. The oldest, a two-games-at-once challenge made with a hardware partner, has settled into a gentle rhythm. The newest, "Which Fortnite Item Is Most Expensive? 👀💸", is barely a day old and already the channel's busiest video, starting about as briskly as the strangers episode did.
Subscribers held flat. Among shooter and battle-royale channels, PWR is second by subscribers, behind jackfrags, who is running a little above his usual pace. TenZ is having the loud week in the group, drawing roughly twice his normal daily views.
