In 2020 alone, Jelty managed a total of 11 top-10 tournament finishes in a multitude of formats. After a brief stint with Centric Gaming, the high ping warrior found himself a new home with one of the most prestigious organizations esports. 2021 is already trending in a positive direction for G2 and its newest Fortnite player.
