A remarkable Fortnite streamer known as Lefty has proven that physical limitations don't define gaming ability, mastering the battle royale with just one arm after losing his right arm in a devastating car accident at age 13.

Following the 2007 accident, Lefty's determination to continue gaming led him to innovatively adapt his playing style. He initially attempted to play Guitar Hero using his foot to strum before discovering he could use his residual limb effectively as a finger, allowing him to master the game once again.

His gaming journey didn't stop there. Through dedicated practice, Lefty developed a unique one-handed controller technique that allows him to compete at high levels in both Fortnite and Call of Duty. His streams showcase impressive gameplay, often outperforming two-handed players with precise sniping and consistent victory royales.
