Fortnite streaming sensation Loserfruit is inviting her community to play with her on Skrmiish, starting this month.

Skrmiish – a mobile app that gives streamers a new way to engage their communities, with fully managed leaderboards – is targeting rapid global growth in 2021.

Loserfruit, a popular Fortnite streamer who has more than seven million followers across her channels, will challenge her community in 1v1 Kill Races for a place on the Skrmiish leaderboard and the chance to win prizes.

Loserfruit will also be facing off against fellow streamer, Reddysh, in a best-of-3 KR battle.

Loserfruit said: “In January, I spent the whole month trying to get good at Fortnite. I think I had some improvements. And now I’m excited to verse my community in Fortnite through the Skrmiish app and see if I can demolish them with my recent improvements. I feel like my community could be kinda sweaty, but we’ll see. Go to skrmiish.com, register and I’ll see you on stream. Bring it on.”

Loserfruit will be joined on Skrmiish during March by some of the best up and coming Fortnite streamers from around the world, including Cozy, who will also be challenging their communities to see who deserves the ultimate position on top of their daily leaderboards.

Loserfruit Skrmiish dates:

March 2: 1v1 Kill Race community challenge. 03h00 – 05h00 CST (leaderboard remains open until 09h00 CST)
March 9: Best of three battle vs Reddysh. 03h00 – 05h00 CST (leaderboard remains open until 09h00 CST)

March 13: 1v1 Kill Race community challenge. 03h00 – 05h00 CST (leaderboard remains open until 09h00 CST)

The move follows the success of January’s Skrmiish Challenger Series, a series of daily tournaments supported by 10 Fortnite streamers, who helped attract more than 1,000,000 minutes of Skrmiish viewer challenges as well as streamer v streamer battles. This brought a wave of new users to the app with over 50% of users playing more than seven games, smashing initial expectations.

Skrmiish for $4,500 in March

Every day in March, there will be a reason to play on Skrmiish with a daily prize pool of $170. The leaderboards will reset daily and players are urged to keep coming back, upping their chances of winning. That’s over $4500 up for grabs.

Players can create their own lobbies or use the app’s unique auto-matchmaking feature to play against anyone currently on the Skrmiish leaderboard (and within their region) to rise up the rankings.

“After an incredible launch we are super excited to have Loserfruit join Skrmiish with her fans. On top of that we are thrilled that Streamers like Cozy and Reddysh are coming back to join in the fun in what promises to be a March like no other!,” says Skrmiish CEO, Luke Grob.

To play on the Skrmiish Leaderboards, visit skrmiish.com and register. You will then be prompted to download the desktop client and the relevant iOS or Android version of the app. Once done, simply sign in on the app and get ready for your first Skrmiish.
