Nicholas "Nick" Amyoony[2] (born: March 14, 1995), better known online as Nick Eh 30, is a Canadian YouTube gamer, live-streamer, and a professional Fortnite player who currently resides in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.[3]
Nick has accumulated over 180,000 eliminations on Fortnite: Battle Royale, making him rank 49 in terms of most eliminations as of December 2023.[4] He also has over 5,000 Fortnite wins and is top 1,000.[5]
History[]
Nick started the Nick Eh 30 channel December 20th, 2014. He started his journey by making 'The Last Of Us' videos and has been very well-known in the community. He has been noticed by a few of Nick's fans while playing a game of 'The Last Of Us'. Nick used to do a lot of MLG parodies, and a lot of funny moments.
2 years later (2016), Nick started doing 'Uncharted 4' and 'Resident Evil 7' videos, which gave him more audience boost. Nick had played multiple games while still playing The Last Of Us. In 2017, Nick got The Last Of Us 2, story time, and classic gameplays that Nick always did.
Nick had gained over 50,000 subscribers from all the games he played before switching to Fortnite, which is when he began to blow up. Needless to say, Fortnite is one of the major factors to what got him to where he is today. Currently, he is still playing Fortnite and streaming it daily along with sharing his best Fortnite gameplays and does Fortnite moments off his streams.
PewDiePie Shout-Out[]
On September 23, 2015, PewDiePie announced a shout out competition, in which you're supposed to tell PewDiePie on his official PewDiePie page why you deserve a shout out. Nick did enter the shout out competition. PewDiePie did do this a month before the shout outs were given due to there being too many submissions. But, on March 10, 2016, PewDiePie made the shout out video to 10 YouTubers. 3 of the YouTubers were mentioned by PewDiePie, with 7 others just being linked in the description as 'Bonus'. Nick was the 3 YouTubers to be noticed by PewDiePie, and PewDiePie noticed Nick Eh 30 first before the 2 other winners.[6] Thanks to the Shout Out, Nick gained at least 9,000 subscribers (15K - 24K) thanks to PewDiePie's shout out.[7]
2 years later after Nick's popularity on YouTube- on June 22, 2018, Nick mentioned about the shout out he had won. Nick said, "Hey @pewdiepie, remember when you shouted out my channel over 2 years ago? You picked me out of the thousands of channels that entered your contest. Thanks for seeing something in my channel, and, in a way, believing I could become successful. I made it, dad.". PewDiePie responded with, "That's all you and your grind my dude. Glad to see you're doing well for your self!". And nick finally responded with, "Thanks a lot, pewds. I really, really appreciate it."
Squads Elimination Record[]
On June 8, 2018, Nick and his partner, One_shot_GURL participated in a Friday Fortnite Tournament against Tfue and Cloakzy to see who would get the most eliminations in "duo squads". Though they all were in squads together, all four of them were able to set a Squad elimination record of 53,[8] until it was beaten again by Tfue and his team on July 18, 2018.[9] While Nick and his duo did lose, it was a world record for PC players.
Personal life[]
Nick is Lebanese-Canadian, or best known as he is of Lebanese descent. Nick has featured his Mom in his videos multiple times.
Controversy[]
False Report[]
On April 21, 2019, Nick was qualifying for Fortnite's World Cup tournament with his duo partner I AM WILDCAT. Nick was already eliminated but his partner WILDCAT was still playing. After WILDCAT got eliminated, Nick immediately reported the user who eliminated WILDCAT for using a scroll-wheel to build. The scroll-wheel building is a new Fortnite mechanic to counter "turtles" in Fortnite, and is also a legal thing to do in Fortnite especially tournaments. When Nick was in process of reporting, he was not confident if the user was using the scroll-wheel mechanic or not, went on to take action against the user anyways.
It was found out the user Nick reported was a competitive controller player Flux (A.K.A Fluxcious or FluxFN). The reasoning for Flux eliminating WILDCAT was because he replaced WILDCAT's wall to his while WILDCAT was looking at the opposite direction from Flux. Flux had the clear chance of replacing WILDCAT's wall to his. Flux was able to make an edit play to eliminate WILDCAT. This method is a common professional / amateur method done in past tournaments and in regular games.[10]
Accusations of Cheating in a Charity Event[]
The 2020 Fortnite Streamer Bowl took place on January 30, 2020 for Charity, with Nick being there with his partner Davis Morgan, and becoming 6th place, earning $30,000 raised to St. Jude.[11] During the Charity event, Nick talked to Davis - stating to land outside of the located area. Nick also adds that they would “only receive a warning” as long as they didn’t break the rules too much.[12][13] Liquid Chap mentioned on Twitter that he was frustrated he didn’t place where they “deserved to”.[14]
