For years, the Oceanic (OCE) Fortnite community has been chasing its moment in the global spotlight. Despite producing mechanically gifted players, the region had never seen a Victory Royale at an international LAN—until now. In one of the most entertaining underdog stories of the year, Aussie Antics and Peterbot claimed victory at the 2025 Epcam Reload event, finally delivering that long-awaited win for OCE.
But while Peterbot is widely regarded as one of Fortnite’s greatest talents, the role Aussie Antics played in this win can’t be overstated. Here’s how the duo executed a brilliant strategy, dominated with elims, and rewrote OCE history on the biggest stage of the season.

Slurpy Swamp Strategy: Healing, Respawns & Smart Anchoring
From the start, Aussie and Peterbot made the strategic choice to land uncontested at Slurpy Swamp, a drop known for its massive healing potential. In the Reload format—where players can respawn mid-match—this was crucial. Slurpy contains four Slurp Trucks, over 170 barrels, and even large Slurp containers, adding up to over 2,000 HP worth of healing.
Once Peterbot had a solid loadout, he used mobility items to aggressively third-party fights nearby. Early in Game 1, he eliminated Mrsavage while Aussie followed up with a surprising elimination of his own—taking down a pro as a content creator.
But Aussie’s contributions didn’t end there. He played a critical role as a support anchor, feeding Peterbot materials, avoiding unnecessary damage, and ensuring the star fragger always had the tools he needed to clutch up. His decision-making—like not peeking to save meds—was essential for longevity.
Perfect Support: Elims, Confidence, and Knowing His Role
In many ways, Aussie’s self-awareness was a huge part of their success. He knew he wasn’t going to out-frag Peterbot and instead focused on maximizing Peterbot’s impact. He constantly dropped mats, called smart rotations, and created space in fights—even sacrificing himself in some games so Peterbot could go big as a Solo.
Still, Aussie wasn’t just along for the ride. He picked up multiple eliminations across the matches, including a confident push on Mongraal that ended in a highlight-worthy 1v1 shockwave entry and frag.
One of the duo’s most strategic plays came in Game 2 when they intentionally split drops: Peterbot landed at Dirty Docks to grief the top team, while Aussie stayed safe at Slurpy. Although it backfired due to Booga catching Aussie on spawn, the thinking was sound—and it showed just how deep their game plan was.
The Elim-Focused Format That Let Them Shine
The Reload LAN event used a scoring system that heavily favored eliminations over placements. Aussie and Peterbot made the most of that by racking up a staggering 41 elims across the event—far ahead of the next highest team, who only managed 27.
In one game, Aussie made the call to pressure SypherPK, but Peterbot accidentally pushed Booga instead. After getting full pieced by Typical Gamer and eliminated, Peterbot respawned safely thanks to Aussie holding Slurpy. They regrouped, recovered, and farmed the map for materials.
Game 4 was one of their most dominant. With Aussie farming and Peterbot holding high ground with an overclocked pulse rifle, they rained down damage from above. In the final moments, Peterbot eliminated Cooper to secure the win—OCE’s first ever Victory Royale at an international Fortnite LAN.
In a format designed to reward high skill, aggressive gameplay, and team chemistry, Aussie Antics and Peterbot proved the perfect pairing. OCE finally has its moment in the Fortnite spotlight—and it’s clear this win was a team effort, not a one-man show.
