As for the design of the outfit, Lazar decides to honor his roots in construction work. “I just honestly thought it would be pretty funny to put an Australian brand in Fortnite,” he explained before showing an emote with a similar theme, meaning he’d sit down to a delicious meat pie to enjoy.
Expect lots of related content and gifts from LazarBeam over the next few days. Congratulations Lazar!
ORIGINALLY:
LazarBeam leaves its fans waiting in anticipation of the idea of a possible skin series of the Icon series.
The OCE region may not get much respect from the competitive community, but in terms of content, it is unstoppable! Popular YouTuber Lannan “LazarBeam” Eacott becomes the third Aussie gamer to get their own outfit in Fortnite.
If the rumors are true, he will join Lachlan and Loserfruit as the latest member of the Fortnite Icon series. Other icons include superstar musicians Travis Scott and Marshmello, the Fortnite legend Ninja, and more recently, TheGrefg, who made streaming history appear in January with his record sheet.
It was LazarBeam himself who sparked the excitement, after he scheduled a video titled “MY FORTNITE SKIN REVEAL” to premiere today, March 1, at 5:00 PM EST. However, some fans are more than a little suspicious.
When he attached a comment to the above post, he simply said “not clickbait”. This, of course, has kept people awake to be deceived, and anyone who watches Lazar knows that a joke like this will definitely be on the brand.
Fortnite leaks @iFireMonkey decided to investigate. He tested the video and found that it was only 2 minutes and 25 seconds long, saying: “Because the video length is quite short, I would say it is 99% confirmed that it is the Icon Series skin”.
Could his revelation still be a troll? Yes it can, all I can see is the length of the video.
However, it’s becoming more of a trend to put over your icon series sheet before it’s in the files so they do not leak like Lachlan and Loserfruit.

While nothing is guaranteed yet, it seems likely that LazarBeam’s announcement will be legal. Fortunately, it will not be long before we definitely find out.
Stay tuned, we’ll keep this article posted as more news comes out.
