Pato: Fortnite and i-Gaming Streamer Profile

Patricio Perrotta, who’s also known as Pato online, is an Argentinian streamer and former competitive Fortnite pro. He transitioned into a more general content style, playing the occasional slot along with games like Fortnite and Among Us.

Currently streaming under the 9z team banner and grabbing a decent salary from them, he has almost 500,000 followers on Twitch, but mostly streams on Kick now to a couple thousand viewers.

Being a 2k andy may not be too great on Twitch, but on a platform like Kick, where you get a 95-5 revenue split, he’s bringing in some pretty good revenue.

He may no longer be an eSports gamer these days, but he’s taken a solid path, at least monetarily, relying more on his personality instead of just his gaming ability to make a bag. His energetic personality and Spanish commentary have lent themselves perfectly to his new niche, and because of that, he was able to hold onto the bulk of his viewers when changing platforms.

In this article, we will be taking a clear look at Pato’s career, net worth, game choice, biography, and much more.

Net Worth & Wealth

We can’t know the exact number without looking into his bank account, but Pato has managed to do pretty well for himself even without winning much money from Fortnite. We estimate his overall net worth is right around $500,000 USD based on his popularity.

Most of this stack of cash has likely come from sponsorships, but a decent chunk probably comes from ads.

Revenue Channels

• Streaming Revenue: With nearly 500,000 followers on Twitch and almost 100,000 on Kick, he makes a decent income from his streams directly with ads and donations. Moreover, Latin American streamers typically see strong community support through subscriptions despite lower regional pricing.
• YouTube Monetization: His YouTube channel is a much smaller piece of the pie. With only a couple thousand views per video, it still likely makes him a few grand per month.
• Casino Partnerships: His biggest source of income is definitely his affiliate deal with Shuffle.com. With this partnership, he probably makes well over $100,000 per year after tax.

Biography & Background

Pato first started his career playing Fortnite, with his best placement coming in the Fortnite World Cup 2019 Week 2 South America qualifier, earning $2,000. He consistently played at a world level for several years, placing in regional tournaments. But, as time went on, he slowly lost his spark for the game, especially with how mechanically guys like Peterbot were getting. Eight hours of practice a day simply wasn’t enough.

Nonetheless, he kept gaming competitively until 2022 with several pro teams, eventually ending his career with 9z. After taking a little hiatus from streaming and competing to figure out what’s next, he dropped a real talk video saying he was leaving the team to start a new chapter and try something new. He also showed a lot of love to 9z, thanking them big time for everything.

Well, it would completely change his life in 2023. He ventured to switch to general content creation full-time instead of grinding the game. Those first variety streams didn’t do terribly well, but in time, he got more fluid with his streaming. It’s now at the point where his variety streams do far better than his Fortnite ones did. His Fortnite-dedicated audience got their fix here and there, but he also attracted new viewers with games like Among Us and Slots.

While nowhere near as successful yet, his trajectory is close to a guy like XQC; a once top-tier pro switching to content creation only to find far more success. And moving into the Slots space was the best thing he ever did. The money streamers his size can make is absolutely ridiculous.

Games Streamed

• Fortnite
• Slots and Casino Games
• Among Us

Streaming Style

Pato has improved a ton since he first started streaming, going from a pretty awkward guy to now looking like he was born to sit behind the camera. Like many others in the gambling space, he’s focused on a couple of key areas: commentary, community outreach, fast content pacing, and authentic responses to wins.

His explosive reactions and overall high energy mean there’s basically no dead air in his streams. His genuine enthusiasm for gaming and gambling is evident. When he’s not winning, he is bantering with chat and oftentimes making jokes at his own expense, and when he is winning, he absolutely loses his mind.
