Jaden Ashman, 15, is from Essex, England. He is a gamer who recently won nearly £1 million in a gaming tournament, and he is pleased to have demonstrated to his mother that he was not simply wasting time in his bedroom.

Jaden Ashman and his partner, Dave Jong, finished second in the first Fortnite World Cup, competing under the name Wolfiez at the three-day event held inside the Arthur Ashe tennis stadium in New York, which also hosts the US Open final.

More than 100 finalists were set to compete in the event’s various competitions, having been chosen from a pool of approximately 40 million people who attempted to qualify for the tournament and compete for the 3 million US dollar (£2.4 million) top prize.

More than 30 countries were expected to compete in the finals, which included a duo competition for pairs and a ‘creative’ tournament in which teams of four competed to complete various in-game trials.

In an interview with the BBC following his victory, Jaden Ashman stated, “Me and my mother, we clash quite a lot.” She didn’t understand how it worked, so she assumed I was wasting my time by spending eight hours a day in my room.” “So now that I’ve proven to her that I can do stuff, I’m really happy,” he added.

Lisa Dallman, Jaden Ashman’s mother, told the BBC, “If I’m honest with you, I’ve been quite against him gaming.” I’ve been putting more pressure on him to do his schoolwork.’ I threw out an Xbox, snapped a headset, and we had a nightmare.

When asked about the prize money, Ms. Dallman stated, ‘I don’t think Jaden is a materialistic person.’ To be fair, he will have a lifetime supply of Uber Eats, which I believe will suffice. Jaden would be at home just sitting around playing video games and eating takeaways.’
