Arsenal Stars Ozil And Kolasinac Stream Fortnite Amid Coronavirus
Arsenal players Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac have joined the Fortnite stream alongside the esports organization as Coronavirus uncertainty overshadows the entire Premier League's return to football.
On March 12, all professional football was postponed in the UK.
While the UK government initially announced that sport could continue as normal, confirmation that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had tested positive for coronavirus led to the immediate suspension of the Premier League and the EFL.
While they may not be playing football together, at least for the foreseeable future, Mesut Ozil and Sid Kolasinac teamed up on March 14 for a Fortnite Battle Royale.
The pair have actually teamed up with professional player Berkay 'Berki' Sarioba, who represents M10 eSports, an organization owned by Mesut Ozil.
M10 currently compete in both FIFA and Fortnite, having recently acquired the Duos World Cup Winner'Nyhrox' on your list of Fortnite players.

Many athletes are showing an increasing interest in video games, as highlighted by the creation of esports organizations on their behalf. Another example is Rise Nation, co-founded by NFL star Roger Suffold and Real Madrid star Gareth Bale, who launched the Ellevens esports organization in February .
The duo Arsenal were driven by professional players to a string of victories as they aired on their respective channels.
However, they didn't dishonor themselves by complementing the M10 pros with a lot of decent games.
Football and Fortnite fans were united to enjoy the couple's stream despite everyone agreeing that they are not as good at Fortnite as they are at football.
Since the return of the Premier League was originally set for early April (depending on the coronavirus situation), we can expect the duo to air together again in the near future.
