Belsten specializes in the Fortnite: Battle Royale game and its variants, and was the second streamer to receive their own Fortnite outfit as part of the Fortnite Icon Series, after Ninja.[7] She was one of the leading streamers to compete in the inaugural Fortnite Summer Smash tournament to be hosted at the Australian Open in 2019, and attended the second edition in 2020 as well.[8][9][10] Belsten is sponsored by the elf cosmetics brand and the Gymshark fitness apparel brand.[6]
