As to the design of the Outfit, Lazar decided to pay homage to his roots in construction work. “I just honestly thought it would be pretty funny to put an Australian tradie into Fortnite” he explained, before showing off a similarly themed emote, which involves him taking a seat to enjoy a nice meat pie.
Expect plenty of related content and giveaways from LazarBeam in the next few days. Congratulations Lazar!
ORIGINAL:
LazarBeam has his supporters waiting in anticipation at the thought of a potential Icon Series skin drop.
The OCE region may not get much respect from the competitive community, but when it comes to content they are unstoppable! Popular YouTuber Lannan “LazarBeam” Eacott is set to become the third Aussie gamer to get their own outfit in Fortnite.
If the rumours are true, he will join Lachlan and Loserfruit as the newest member of the Fortnite Icon Series. Other Icons include superstar musicians Travis Scott and Marshmello, Fortnite legend Ninja, and most recently, TheGrefg, who made streaming history with his record-breaking skin reveal back in January.
It was LazarBeam himself who sparked the excitement, having scheduled a video titled “MY FORTNITE SKIN REVEAL” to premiere today, March 1, at 5 PM EST. However, some fans are more than a little suspicious.
Pinning a comment to the post mentioned above, he simply said “not clickbait”. Of course, this made people wary that they may be being tricked, with anyone who watches Lazar knowing that a joke like this would certainly be on-brand.
Fortnite leaker @iFireMonkey decided to investigate. He tested the video and found it to be just 2 minutes and 25 seconds long, stating “Due to the video length being pretty short, I would say this is 99% confirmed to be his Icon Series skin”.
Could his reveal still be a troll? Yeah it can, all I can see is the length of the video.

It's becoming more of a trend however to post about your icon series skin before it's in the files so they don't have it leaked like Lachlan and Loserfruit did.
While nothing is yet guaranteed, it seems probable that LazarBeam’s announcement will be legitimate. Fortunately, it won’t be long until we find out for sure.
Stay tuned, we will keep this article updated as more news comes to light.
