BEST FORTNITE PLAYERS IN 2023: TOP 10 PLAYERS IN THE WORLD
We are back with yet another hot FNCS Season in 2023. Before Chapter 4 takes us all on a wild ride, it’s time to adjust our Fortnite Rankings for the upcoming season.
Fortnite has gone from strength to strength. 2023 looks to be one of the biggest years yet for the game’s competitive side. With the Grand Royale bringing the top Duos together at the end of the year, we’re back to seeing how teams compete outside of each season’s FNCS The game’s esports scene is as alive and exciting as ever. Great players are always pushing the game’s skill cap to new heights. However, in a game like this, things move fast.
The best players from 2021/22 aren’t necessarily going to be the best Fortnite players of 2023. Last year’s FNCS tournaments saw some of the highest players in Fortnite rankings lose out to some who hadn’t particularly been on the radar. New players are coming up in the game all the time. The new Chapter 4 update has completely reinvented the meta, so there’s space for new players to claim their spots as the top contenders.
These are the best players in Fortnite coming into 2023, the ones that really stand out at the moment:
For our rankings we are taking into consideration the top 10 placements for each region in the last few FNCS events, and also going through cash cups from this year, seeing who placed in the top 10 the most. There’s also the recent FNCS Major 2 to take into consideration. The bigger tournaments weigh heavily when deciding the best Fortnite players right now. Taking everything into account to decide who the Fortnite best players in the world are can be a bit subjective though. We’ve broken it down to explain each player’s rank and what makes them stand out.
WHO ARE THE TOP 10 FORTNITE PLAYERS TO WATCH IN 2023?
We’ve got a top Fortnite players list to help you figure out who is going to be important in 2023 and beyond!

Quesy and Veno have got to into the top spot after their amazing performance at the FNCS Major 2. They secured their spot at the LAN here but did so with such an overwhelmingly strong performance, it’s hard to think anyone can beat them in Chapter 4 Season 2. The two managed 6 Victory Royales across the finals, five of those consecutively. It’s a singular run that’s going to be very hard to beat in the future.

As the second part of the winning Duo in Chapter 4 Season 2, Veno is equally one of the best Fortnite players right now. In Europe at least, they’ve set a standard which will be what winning Duos are measured against in the future. Even looking ahead to the LAN at the end of the year, they stand a very good chance of going all the way.
3. DUKEZ

Dukez makes up the final spot in the Mero and Bugha trio which took first place at a Chapter 3 FNCS and the Grand Royale. These are impressive results. Moving into Duos in 2023, he started with mixed results but came alive at the most recent major. Playing with Edgey, they just took the top spot in NA this season and secured their spot at the LAN.

Edgey and Dukez can claim the title of best players in North America at the moment. Their performance at the last finals weren’t quite on the level of Queasy and Veno, but they were the standout Duo in NA. They might not have grabbed a Victory Royale across the twelve games, but they had great consistently. They took top 10 finishes plenty of times and managed to out gun their opponents in kills. They’re a force to be reckoned with in the new merged NA region.
5. TAYSON

TaySon is a European player who has bounced around our rankings quite a bit. The player is currently a part of Team Falcons, and he’s had quite a few different teammates over the years. He’s really come into his own recently though. He took first place at the first FNCS for Chapter 4, Major 1. With his past achievements and this recent win he’s one of the best Fortnite players right now.

Merstach’s best results lately have come with TaySon this Chapter. Prior to this though, he had a good run finishes in Chapter 3 with Malibuca. In Chapter 4 he’s been part of the main Duo to watch, getting an early win in his region at a Major and locking in a spot at the FNCS Invitational later this year.
While the pressure might be off as shown in Major 2, he’s still one of the top Fortnite players in Chapter 4.
7. MALIBUCA

Malibuca was one of the more recent additions to the best Fortnite players but he’s been pretty firmly one of the top-ranking players in the last year. Since going active as a pro in 2021, he quickly marked himself out as one of the top rising stars. The player was part of a Duo that won the Gamers8 LAN, and took second at some FNCS Finals for Chapter 3.
Most recently he’s been part of a huge team with Th0masHD. They’re two of the best placing players in Chapter 4.

Th0masHD had a lot of success over Chapter 2. The initial switch over to Duos was a bit dicier with his placements slipping, but he’s stepped things back up since partnering with Malibuca. In this Duo, he’s taken second at the Europe region of Chapter 4’s first Major.
In Chapter 3 he still had some solid results too, pretty regularly coming in third at FNCS Finals in teams with Trippernn and TaySon.

As part of a Duo with Acorn, Cold has risen to the top of the pack in Chapter 4. He won the first Major for the year in North America East alongside some cash cups in the run up to that. At the end of 2022’s tournaments, he left with second at the FNCS Invitational. This is a really strong run and it shows the player is on the rise right now. Although, he’s just missed on glory most recently, finishing a respectable 6th in Major 2.
10. ACORN

Acorn has been active since 2019 and is one of the longer-standing players still at the top of the best Fortnite players. He had early wins in Chapter 2 FNCS events. As a Duo with Cold though he’s back at the top for Chapter 4. This Duo are looking like two to watch in North America East for the year.
