00:00Listen, when there's no plan B, you've got to go all-in.
00:10You can't be complacent, you can't be afraid to make mistakes, you can't be anxious about
00:22what to do next.
00:23You make your choices, you make bank, and you grind.
00:48I'm sure I make it look crazy, funny, intense, subtle, cringe, but that's just who I am.
00:56I won't be the same person I was yesterday, tomorrow, I'm not going to be who I am today.
01:01Why sit and wait for the world to tell me what to do?
01:04I'll just do it, my way.
01:19Today's going to be a good day!
01:21We're going to have a great day today, bruh!
01:27I'm Cody Conrad, but people call me Clix.
01:30This is where I lived, this is where I played, and this is who I was.
01:39I grew up in Connecticut, a small town.
01:42Hey, you want something to eat, man?
01:44Yeah, I'll have an omelet.
01:46I definitely make better omelets than you.
01:48I think you're full of s***.
01:50That's my dad, he gets me.
01:54Are you freaking kidding me?
01:55I'm messing, I'm messing around, this is good.
01:58Growing up, Cody was making all the kids laugh, making a lot of jokes.
02:03The things that all the other kids were nervous to say, Cody just said it.
02:07You know, just, you know, come out.
02:09He had his own little crew.
02:11Used to play basketball, soccer, karate, and then video games.
02:19When I first started playing Fortnite with my brother, I was 13.
02:22Our first game, I remember we landed at Tomato Town.
02:26On the bridge, there's one chest.
02:31I opened it, and it was a gold scar.
02:36I opened it, and it was a gold scar.
02:40Back then, a gold scar was really rare.
02:45So, the first game I played,
02:50we won.
02:52That's like, honestly, I fell in love with the game.
02:55Right there, I fell in love with the game.
02:57I was like, dude, I'm all in.
03:00Let's go, baby!
03:03Here we go!
03:06Oh!
03:08Oh, my God! Yes!
03:11Started playing every single day.
03:14I was the definition of a Fortnite sweat.
03:17Let's go!
03:19Like, literally the definition.
03:20I did it, guys!
03:23But, my PC was really bad.
03:26So, I went up to my dad, I was like, I want to take this to the next level.
03:29You know, competitions are coming out.
03:31I need a new PC, like, what can you do?
03:36Cody says, Dad, if you buy me this really neat gaming computer,
03:40you have no idea how good I could get at this.
03:43And I said, listen, right now, I can't afford it, but let me think about it.
03:49At that time in his life, it was just Cody and Dad here at the house.
03:55His mom and I, you know, we separated.
03:59I started watching Cody playing Fortnite,
04:02and that was his thing.
04:04And that was his happy spot.
04:08So, I said, this is what I'm going to do.
04:10I said, I'm going to buy you this computer, the exact one that you want,
04:13but we're going to have to sign a contract.
04:18I signed it.
04:19Was so happy.
04:21Okay!
04:22I got you, I got you.
04:23All right, I love you.
04:24Are you taking the floor in or what?
04:25I won't, I won't.
04:26All right, I love you.
04:30Got on the game.
04:31I was so dialed in, and I knew I wanted one thing.
04:35Welcome to the Fortnite World Cup Qualifiers.
04:38World Cup Qualifiers came, I was in eighth grade.
04:46This was the moment.
04:57I qualified five times.
05:01Oh, wait, what?
05:02Both solos and duos.
05:04Klyx, we'll see you in the World Cup Finals.
05:08So, I headed to New York City.
05:10I had dreams.
05:11I had ideas.
05:13But this was the first time it all came together.
05:19What up, boys?
05:20It's Klyx here.
05:26I remember getting there, practicing at the hotel.
05:29Seeing Bugha right in front of me.
05:33I was definitely super nervous, but also ready to play.
05:37My dad gave me advice, and just play your game.
05:39Don't care what people think.
05:41Be yourself, be happy, be a kid.
05:47My whole goal was to become a pro Fortnite player.
05:51And I finally achieved that.
05:53Klyx making incredible plays.
05:55I placed 18th, but it didn't really matter.
05:59You don't have to come in first to be a winner.
06:03If he fails 150 times, he's gonna keep on going.
06:06And he did.
06:08I achieved my goal.
06:10I knew exactly what to do next.
06:18My streaming took off.
06:20I started having a lot of fun.
06:25I wanted to be something unique, something different.
06:27There's only one plan.
06:29It's either this or nothing.
06:34I loved it.
06:35I started winning a lot of tournaments.
06:38Getting a sub felt insane.
06:40Thank you, thank you, thank you.
06:41I tried my hardest, you know?
06:42But now I have contracts, now I have deals.
06:45And I started feeling, like, a lot of pressure in the moment.
06:49And then...
06:51This.
06:55My game just crashed.
06:56My biggest frustration was the internet.
06:58My game just crashed.
07:00My upload speed was terrible.
07:02And it would make me so mad.
07:04Are you serious?
07:06Over the years, I had enough of it.
07:08I knew at that moment, it's like, all right, like,
07:11we either need to figure out if there's a better internet,
07:13which there wasn't, or I'm moving.
07:18Cody and I, we had a long talk.
07:21And I stopped myself, and I really thought about it.
07:26I remember, we'd be dreaming at night.
07:30I'd like to be, you know, a household name when it comes to Fortnite.
07:35You know, we got to make that happen for him.
07:39You need somebody there to support you, though.
07:42All right, Dad.
07:43I'm leaving.
07:44Hey, bud, I'm going to miss you.
07:45I'll miss you.
07:47So, I packed my bags.
07:49And I decided to officially move.
07:51See you soon?
07:53Yeah.
07:55Yeah.
07:57Love you a lot.
07:58Love you.
07:59Keep the faith, man.
08:00Taxi.
08:01Yeah.

08:25I went to Dallas.

09:11Over the years, I competed for so many FNCS tournaments.
09:15Click.
09:16Tastes the game.
09:18Out of four places.
09:19Yeah.
09:21Fourth place.
09:22Yeah, fourth place.
09:24Fourth! Fourth!
09:27Oh, my God. You saw that?
09:29But I didn't come here just to compete.
09:31What?
09:32But to entertain.
09:33Today we are playing Fortnite on the biggest screen in America.
09:36Nodis, Nodis, Nodis, Nodis!
09:37When Nodis go out, that's when, like, blood starts flowing.
09:40I'm in the zone, ready to just conquer the day.
09:42This is about to be Mass Effect.
09:44Every year, I want to level up as a human.
09:47My maturity, my knowledge, my game.
09:49And right now, across all my platforms,
09:52I'm on my way to 20 million followers.
09:55Let's go! Let's go, man!
09:58We did it, champ! We did it!
10:11So now, I'm 20.
10:13I'm 20.

10:22guess what I got?
10:25No, no, not that.
10:28This.
10:36Now I'm in the game.
10:39We got me wearing pajamas.
10:42And also, you got business clothes.
10:45And my own girl outfit.
10:47That is what I'm going to wear in competitive.
10:50I'm so excited.
10:52This is the best thing in my whole entire life.
10:56From being a kid,
10:58to now.
11:01This is my career.
11:03This is my life.
11:06I went all in.
11:11Rise up! Rise up!
11:17So what's next for me?
11:20Look, I won't be the same person I was yesterday.
11:23Tomorrow, I'm not going to be who I am today.
11:28What I do know,
11:30you got to keep moving forward.
11:32Because that's how you learn who you really are.
11:35Today's going to be a good day!
