Dunn, Kyrou win $100k for charity in Fortnite tournament

Who knew being good at video games could pay off so handsomely?

St. Louis Blues players Vince Dunn and Jordan Kyrou finished in second place in a charitable Fortnite tournament on Twitch this week, winning $100,000 for charity.

The Twitch Rivals SuperGames tournament featured all-star athletes and all-star gamers in a four-round event, which began April 13. Dunn and Kyrou, along with their gamer teammates mrconrem and aircool, accrued the second-most points in the tournament, losing only to a team that featured NFL stars Mike Evans (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (Pittsburgh Steelers).

The $100,000 prize will be split four ways - $25,000 to the selected charity of each of the four team members.

Blues prospect Jake Walman also competed in the tournament, winning $2,000 for No Kid Hungry.

The tournament featured athletes from a variety of sports, including Bryce Harper (Philadelphia Phillies), Nathan MacKinnon (Colorado Avalanche), David Pastrnak (Boston Bruins), Patrik Laine (Winnipeg Jets) and Xavier Woods (WWE).
