He is Argentine, he is 13 years old, Duki followed him and plays Fortnite in Europe: “He will not be Messi if he only trains two hours a day”

We spoke to Tozeo, a YouTuber who was hired a few weeks ago by a European professional team, and his father Sebastián Brunato, former esports pro and current coach.

History repeats itself in football and many other traditional sports. A father who performs professionally and a son who follows in his footsteps. However, in sports, an activity that is only about 20 years old and less time in Latin America, the situation is more difficult to replicate because of a generational issue. This transition is just beginning to take place and there is one success story Argentina: Tozeo and his father Sebastián Brunato.

He is Argentine, he is 13 years old, Duki followed him and plays Fortnite in Europe: “He will not be Messi if he only trains two hours a day”

Sebastian began to compete Counter Strike at 17 years oldwhen the cyber boom happened in the country, and in recent times it has been professional trainer in other shooters like Warzone and VALORANT. With this past closely associated with video games, it’s no surprise that his son Francisco have followed the same steps, especially in a context where gaming has become more important and the scene has grown significantly.

Tozeoas his nickname says – he got it because one winter he suffered many coughing attacks -, began to rise YouTube videos at just 9 years old and showed great talent for shooting titles, supported by the knowledge and training given to him by Seba. two years ago, He signed his first contract for the Argentine team Leviatán and now, there are 13closed a deal with the Finnish club ENCEone of the oldest in esports.

“It’s a dream to have a father who loves video games. My friends told me, I wish someone would support them like this.. I’m that lucky. I started with Minecraft, I moved to Counter Strike and in 2017 I discovered Fortnite until I left it in 2021 because it bored me. “I continued with VALORANT – Leviathan took him as an influencer in this game – and now I’m back in Fortnite to compete,” he said. Tozeo in dialogue with TyC Sports.

Although Sebastián has all the knowledge and mechanics to play against anyone, he recognizes that he can’t do anything against Francisco. “I always beat him in shots, in other things I still don’t do it.“, indicated the youngest of the Brunato. Meanwhile, his father emphasized: “There is no way I can beat him. It is impossible. My reflection is very far from him. It destroys me. Today we play together and I give the analytical part. “He brings his skill and style.”

Becoming an esports professional at just 13: training and dedication

As some question whether esports are considered by others as another sport, many believe that it is inappropriate for a child to spend a lot of time in front of a PC or console. In the case of Tozeo, this is a professional player, who already has a contract with a team and receives a salary to improve and compete at the highest level. “He wouldn’t be Messi if he only trained two hours a day. Messi wouldn’t be what he is if they didn’t let him play football“said the eldest Brunato.

“Francis has a future, something very marked for the next 10 years or so. He is an elite athlete. To be at the level of this region – they live in Madrid – the hardest in the world, you can’t train a little and do everything halfway. He goes to school, comes back at 2 pm, eats, rests and then trains for four or six hours, as long as he needs. There is no limit. This is part of it and it should be understood with professionalism. If you don’t put in those hours, you won’t progress or stay level” added Sebastián.

Finally, Tozeo He said that a few days ago he started following her Duki on social networks, after confirming its agreement with ENCE. “I was in an important training and my father told me that he started following me. I told him?! that?!“, he said.
