2021–2022: Early FNCS qualifications and win
Having played competitively since 2020, Kata qualified for his first FNCS grand finals in Chapter 2 Season 7, in 2021.[5] He later placed 4th in the FNCS Grand Royale, alongside Logan 'Bucke' Eschenburg and Mack 'MackWood' Aesoph, earning them $28,000 each.[6]
Playing alongside Bylah, Kata won Chapter 3 Season 2's FNCS,[7] earning $65,000.[8]
2022–2023: LAN underperformances
Kata underperformed at the 2022 FNCS Invitational LAN,[9] placing 37th out of 50 teams alongside Jamper.[1][10] Similarly, Kata only managed to place 26th at the 2023 FNCS Global Championship alongside former FNCS winning teammate Bylah, earning them $9,000 each.[11]
2024–2025: Consecutive FNCS wins
In 2024, playing with Miguel 'Pollo' Moreno, Kata placed second in Chapter 5 Season 1's FNCS, earning them $45,000 each.[12] Then, in Chapter 7 Season 2, Kata and Moreno won all weekly Cash Cups leading up to the FNCS grand finals, which they won with a record-breaking point tally, qualifying them for the 2024 Global Championship.[13] Kata and Moreno also won Chapter 5 Season 3's FNCS.[14] Their two consecutive FNCS wins earned them $140,000 each.[13][14]
Playing for Exceed, Kata finished second at the 2024 Esports World Cup in August 2024.[15]
Winning five out of twelve games, Kata and Moreno won the 2024 FNCS Global Championship, earning $200,000 each.[16] Kata and Moreno's performances in 2024 made them widely regarded as the two best players of the year.[17][18]
In Chapter 6 Season 1, as the competitive gamemode had switched to trios, Kata played with Joshua 'Cold' Butler and Maguire 'Ritual' Morton, winning every weekly Divisional Cup leading up to the FNCS grand finals.[1][19] Despite this, the trio placed second in the grand finals, losing out to Moreno's trio, albeit qualifying for the 2025 Global Championship and earning $25,500 each.[20]
Despite qualifying for the 2025 Global Championship alongside Morton, Kata and Butler played the first three Divisional Cups of Chapter 6 Season 2 with Miguel Moreno, winning every one.[21] Moreno, however couldn't play FNCS with Kata and Butler, since he had already qualified for the 2025 Global Championship alongside his own trio, and doing so would require all six qualified players to sign a disbandment form, which they didn't. Thus, Kata and Butler again played with Morton, winning both Chapter 6 Season 2 and 3's FNCS grand finals, the former only 11 points above Cody 'Clix' Conrod's trio;[22] and the latter by only 3 points.[23]
On May 10, 2025, in between his two FNCS victories, Kata won the FNCS Pro-Am alongside content creator AussieAntics, earning them $25,000 each.[24] Kata was then challenged by former professional Fortnite player Rani 'Ronaldo' Netz to a first to 100 elimination Fortnite 1v1 in which Netz would begin with a 99 elimination lead. Initially, the duel would be for a $10,000 wager, but it was later increased to $25,000, upon Fortnite themselves sponsoring the duel and adding $15,000 to the prize. On May 15, winning 100 straight 1v1s, of which 75 were build fights and 25 were zone wars, Kata defeated Netz and earned $25,000.[25]
Despite Kata's and Moreno's respective trios having achieved the highest placements in the year leading up to the 2025 Global Championship, and having been favorites to win it,[2][26] Kata's and Moreno's trios placed 15th and 16th respectively at the LAN tournament.[27] Upon the competitive format switching back to duos ahead of 2026, Kata and Moreno now play together again.

Style of play
Known for his exceptional mechanics and aim,[7][19][28] Kata's style of play has been described as "aggressive yet strategic".[29] He has been known for notable clutches in major tournaments.[21][30] He was sometimes accused of cheating because of his underperformances at LAN tournaments, but his later FNCS victories – online and in-person – have largely led to the disappearance of such accusations.[31] Since 2024, Kata has been known to often claim the best loot on the map.[31]

Content creation
Kata occasionally streams his tournaments on Twitch,[32] and was nominated for the 2024 Fortnite Streamer of the Year – an award eventually won by Clix – at the 2024 Streamer Awards.[33] Kata also has a YouTube channel with over 800,000 subscribers.
On August 8, 2025, a video surfaced of Kata repeatedly using the word "nigger". The video was reportedly two years old, meaning Kata was 16 at the time. Upon Kata apologizing, his apology was revealed as being AI-generated, sparking further controversy.[2]
