Mongraal’s surprise reference soon went viral on Twitter/X, as many fans couldn’t believe it. “There’s no way right?” One user commented, as another responded: “This is actually wild.”
While some couldn’t even figure out the answer to the somewhat easy question: “Why do none of the options fit the first one?” As a user explained: “you’d have to conjugate the past tense, so in this case ‘become’ would be ‘became.'”
With the Fortnite’s Mongraal appearing in educational textbooks, it just show how far professional gaming has became in regards to entering the mainstream. This has also rang true for creators, such asKSI who has had his rise to fame being taught in British schools.
