Clix

Cody Conrod, known online as Clix, is an American professional gamer and live streamer. By age 21, he has become one of Fortnite's most decorated competitors, with seven FNCS championship titles and over $600,000 in tournament earnings. On Twitch, his high-energy, aggressive playstyle has drawn 8.4 million followers, placing him among the platform's top Fortnite creators. As a member of NRG Esports, Clix continues to compete at the highest level while expanding into YouTube and TikTok content. His fans, informally called the Clix Crew, follow him for his unfiltered personality and relentless in-game aggression.[edit]

Cody Conrod was born on January 7, 2005, in Connecticut, and spent formative years in Florida before his family settled in Trumbull, Connecticut. His father, Scott, worked construction, and his mother, Lori, stayed home to raise Cody and his two siblings: older brother Jake and younger sister Kylie. At St. Joseph High School, Cody was a solid student who played youth soccer and baseball, but his focus shifted when Fortnite launched in 2017. At age 12, he began playing obsessively, practicing building and editing techniques for hours after school.

In 2018, he started streaming on Twitch under the name Clix, a handle derived from his love of fast clicking in earlier games like Minecraft and CS:GO. His hyper-aggressive W-key playstyle, constantly pushing opponents instead of playing defensively, attracted viewers quickly. By 2019, at just 14 years old, he qualified for the Fortnite World Cup qualifiers, placing in the top 200 in both solos and duos and earning his first significant prize money of $5,000. His parents, initially skeptical about his gaming obsession, became supportive after seeing his early success and dedication.[edit]

In 2020, Clix signed with NRG Esports, gaining access to professional coaching and resources. That year, he won his first Fortnite Champion Series title during Chapter 2 Season 3. His breakout came in 2021 when he won the FNCS Grand Finals in Chapter 2 Season 5 alongside teammate Mero, taking home $60,000. Later that year, he won Chapter 2 Season 6 with Mero and Bugha, forming one of Fortnite's dominant trios.

Clix continued his winning streak through 2022 and 2023, claiming FNCS titles in Chapter 3 Seasons 1 and 2, and Chapter 4 Seasons 1 and 2. By 2023, he had five FNCS championships, making him the most decorated competitor in the game's history. In 2025, he added two more titles in Chapter 5 Seasons 3 and 4, bringing his total to seven. His Twitch following grew from 3 million in 2021 to 8.4 million by 2025. He also expanded into YouTube, built a merchandise line, and secured sponsorships with Logitech G, GFUEL, Secretlab, and Razer. As of 2026, he remains active in competitive Fortnite and content creation, focusing on long-form YouTube videos and TikTok clips.[edit]

Clix is known for his hyper-aggressive W-key playstyle, constantly pushing opponents rather than building defensively. This approach has made him both a fan favorite and a polarizing figure in the Fortnite community. His streams are high-energy and unfiltered, with constant commentary and chat interaction. He has been transparent about the mental health pressures of streaming, often discussing burnout and the need for breaks. Media coverage portrays him as the face of aggressive Fortnite and a prodigy who matured into a champion. His fans, informally called the Clix Crew, engage through a dedicated Discord server with over 200,000 members and frequently spam catchphrases like W-key in his chat. On social media, he balances professional updates with personal, humorous posts.[edit]

Clix stands as the 20th most famous person in Streaming / Twitch, a standing confirmed by the iFANN Global Fame Rankings. This placement reflects his dominance not just as a player but as a cultural touchstone within the live video ecosystem. While his fanbase is massive, there is no single universally recognized official moniker like "Swifties" or "BTS ARMY"; instead, followers simply identify as Clix fans or by their presence on his channels. The community is deeply integrated into the competitive scene, organizing around his high-skill clips and tech-savvy engagement rather than a formalized club structure. Fans actively participate through rituals like using his custom map codes for gameplay sessions and celebrating unique crossover events, such as his historic first-ever Fortnite livestream broadcast from Disney World. His influence extends beyond gaming metrics, driving tangible business impact through collaborations with brands like Cava and consumer ventures like TapCap, proving his audience's willingness to support his expanding empire.[edit]

Clix is left-handed but uses a standard mouse with his right hand, a quirk that has become part of his technical lore. He began his journey with a $50 buy-in online event that he won, earning $200, and has since navigated physical challenges like carpal tunnel syndrome by adjusting his streaming schedule to prevent injury. Despite graduating high school in 2023, he chose to skip college to focus entirely on his gaming career, owning a golden retriever named Ollie along the way. His most-used skin remains Mogul Master, a staple in his inventory. A defining story in his legend is that he made his first $1 million at age 13, a statistic often cited to illustrate his rapid ascent from child prodigy to business mogul. Fans also retell the viral tale of his girlfriend going live on a secret channel until she was caught, blending personal drama with his public persona. Another iconic moment involves his lightning-fast editing skills, which have spawned a genre of viral content where viewers marvel at his ability to out-edit opponents before they even realize it.[edit]

Clix grew up in a close-knit family in Trumbull, Connecticut. His father, Scott Conrod, worked in construction, and his mother, Lori Conrod, was a homemaker. He has an older brother, Jake, and a younger sister, Kylie. His parents were initially concerned about his gaming but became strong supporters after seeing his early tournament success. Clix currently rents an apartment in Los Angeles, California, and lives with his golden retriever, Ollie. He is not married and has no children.[edit]

Clix is associated with NRG Esports, one of North America's premier esports organizations. He frequently collaborates with fellow Fortnite professionals Mero and Bugha, forming one of the most successful trios in FNCS history. His brand partnerships include Logitech G, GFUEL, Secretlab, NordVPN, and Razer. He has been linked romantically to content creators Alissa Violet and Dixie D'Amelio.[edit]

Clix has kept much of his personal life private, but several relationships have been publicly documented. In high school, he dated a girl named Emily from 2019 to 2020; the split was amicable as his streaming career demanded more time. In early 2021, he was briefly linked to fellow content creator Alissa Violet, though the relationship lasted only a few months. From mid-2022 to early 2023, he dated TikTok star and singer Dixie D'Amelio; the two were seen at events together and ended amicably due to busy schedules. In 2023, he dated a non-public figure named Katelyn for about eight months. As of 2026, Clix is single and has stated he is focused on his career and not actively seeking a partner. He has no children from any relationship.[edit]

Per iFANN's editorial analysis, Clix's net worth is estimated at $3 Million as of 2026. His financial foundation rests on competitive prize money exceeding $600,000 earned from seven FNCS titles and other tournaments. Twitch streaming generates an estimated $500,000 to $800,000 annually from subscriptions, bits, and ad revenue. YouTube adds $100,000 to $200,000 per year from 1.5 million subscribers. Sponsorships with Logitech G, GFUEL, Secretlab, NordVPN, and Razer contribute $500,000 to $1 million annually. His merchandise line brings in $100,000 to $200,000 yearly. Clix rents an apartment in Los Angeles and has invested in cryptocurrency and gaming stocks. His net worth has grown steadily since his first major tournament win in 2021.[edit]

Clix has won seven Fortnite Champion Series titles, more than any other player in history. His first came in Chapter 2 Season 3 in 2020, and he has since dominated the competitive scene, winning multiple FNCS Grand Finals. He has also secured top finishes in DreamHack Online Opens and Twitch Rivals events. While nominated for Streamy and Esports Awards, his competitive gaming achievements remain his most significant accolades.[edit]
