Holmes Student Featured on Viral YouTube Show

Saxon Mangrich (8th) spends his free time after school playing and watching Fortnite, a popular battle-royal video game. One day, when Saxon was dropping into a match with a random stranger, he just so happened to be paired with one of his favorite Youtubers/Streamers, Tiko. 

Tiko's YouTube channel has 5.84 Million subscribers and over 700 Million channel views. Tiko was named by YouTube as one of ten Breakout Stars in 2020 and a Top 5 Content Creator in the United States! Needless to say, for Saxon, this was a major surprise and heartwarming moment. 

In the beginning of the video, Saxon is unaware of who he is playing with and engages in general conversation with his Duos partner. He even states, "You sound like Tiko," to his mysterious partner. By the end of their match, Saxon excitedly reacts when he figures out it really is the YouTube star!

"No way! I'm actually playing with Tiko!" Saxon screams at 2:30 in the video.

Fortnite is a very popular game amongst Holmes students and has become a global phenomenon. When you drop in, you never know who you might be playing with. You might just become internet famous like Saxon!
