Hey everyone, it's Nick a30 here. We're currently in Mega City with 100 players, and we have someone special: Courage, who has three lives. We're doing another round where I'm going to hide, and he's going to hunt me down. I'll see if I can outlast his position. Courage, you can go hide right now; I'm going to hunt you down in 30 seconds. I'm going to hide in the ball—no one wins in the ball, bro. There are so many players; I feel like many will instantly go on that height. You have 20 seconds, and I'll be hunting. 10 seconds left. Ready or not, here I come.

This movement is crazy. I'm going to find you in 5 seconds. Oh, you're never going to find me. I disconnected—just kidding. I took the zipline, so I might have to go up top. I ended in the trash; there are a lot of zipline gamers. I hear him going crazy. The sun is beating down on me. You're on height; I have an idea where you might be. Listen, bro, I'm coming to get you. You smart individual up there; I hear you sleeping. It's so easy. I haven't found you yet. The zone is closing; I'm confident. The elevator—there's no escape. 100 of my subscribers are here. Did you find a lot of people? Only one exit. You're not scared of me. When I see you in real life, I hide. Don't eliminate that person; they're kind. I feel like someone's in the trash. Why'd you eliminate Cipher? Are you following me? I haven't moved once. This guy's on the rail—not very smart. I got you, brother. I'm repositioning and chasing after him. He's moving. I like that guy's spot; that guy's 200 IQ. Where are you, Courage? Nick, I see your every move with wall hacks. Are you on top of the building? I'm not high up. Wait, I'm hiding underneath the tree; you'll never see this. I hear you. That's a smart spot. I'm fine right now. You're trolling me. I'm coming down the elevator; I'm not nervous. That's awesome; he went where I checked too. He's actually smart. Let's not focus on the game. That blended in easily. I keep spotting him; this is elite. I have the best hiding spot. I just pulled a muscle in my neck playing Fortnite—I got scared and hurt. How old am I? Nick, are you following me? I haven't moved once. The Master Chief should have moved because he's dead. I almost got that guy; he's looking at the wall. Everyone's running. Zone, move to the new location. 10 seconds left. We're below Loot Lake and hitting our rift. Ready or not, here I come. We're going down to 25 players. I missed my shot, but it'll be easy. I just saw so many people; this place is small. I'm confident you'll never find me on this island. I don't believe you, but I'm starting to as I scan this house and don't see anyone. Hello? Run! Stop, Courage. I told you to run, and I'm blocking the door. Am I a bad person? Yes. Then there's no ruining that reputation. Nick, do you want a tip? Check the southwest side of the island. Do you hear that? Oh my God, was that you? No. Oh, snap—that was a sick spot. I can see clearly now. You haven't found me once. 20 seconds; zone's coming. Rotate to the gray area; no one's allowed to leave. I gave you your time; I'm hunting you down. Courage, there are only so many places you can hide. Tell me something for real. I'll tell you later. After this, I'll run over 100 players to get my frustrations out. You bring out the best in me, Courage. That's the Nick a30 special. The video I regret not being part of was when Nick a30 gooed all over. I love gooing over everyone—best part of the job. Why do you set me up for this? What else am I going to say? Okay, a baby. Here's what we'll do now. I'm trying to think if we can get a new POI; this is an old area. Do we even do Loot Lake? It's out of bounds. Oh my God, where are you, Courage? There's no way you see me. Hi, how are you? Rest Lord, come out. I have a question: is Courage your favorite YouTuber? No. Is Nick a30 your favorite? No, he's a tyrant. Hey, guys, do you know where Courage JD is right now? Will you open his stream and find him for me? Do it; you have 10 seconds to lead me. 10, 9, 8—wait here, sir. 7, 6, 5, 4—be quick. 3, 2—what? That's not Courage. Vision fail. Do you know where Courage is? Yes, sir. No. Will you show me where he's at? Did he try to show where I was? Man, ain't loyal. Have some respect on Courage's name. Check the roof. Hey, boys, I have a special gift. Where are you going? Forgot I had this sword; this makes it fun. That's a good spot; you're blending with the shadows. I thought it was a shadow. 20 players remain as the zone closes; no more grace period. Moving is a risk, but you might have to take it because this POI is small. My stomach—I've lost weight. Wait, what's wrong? I'm confused. No, you're misinterpreting. It's okay, Courage; it's about finding true love. Thank you, Nick. There's always hope. I distracted you during that; I've moved and am nowhere near you. Why are you such a good liar, Courage? I'm coming for you. That's funny; you're dashing the wrong way. Look, you go ahead, slide right there. Look how cool this looks on epic settings. Getting the victory royale is what I'm aiming for. It's in the blood. Where are you? This igloo is a good spot. There's got to be someone here. Courage, if you're not in zone, there's no free grace period. If you try to rotate, I'll murder you. Please don't. I have a dirt bike. Look at the purple light; it's pretty. I'm Giga-braining hard; I moved to where he just looked. You hear that, Derby? Courage, yeah. Oh, it's Rev. You don't hear it? It's really Rev. You're a funny guy. That's a scary dirt bike that fell off a cliff and is rolling toward that stone building. Do you see me, Courage? That just damaged me. I'm upset now. You don't want to see me angry. Nick, you've given me three lives and haven't found me once. Are you making fun of me? Yeah. You can share things with me; we've done two hide-and-seeks together. I'll give you a hint: I'm feeling the snow fall on my brow. What does that mean? The zone is getting smaller. I've never done a motorcycle on ice; it's sick. Are you serious? Focus. I'm very serious. I saw you; there's no way you're on this car. I know for a fact. I'm watching a lot of people rotating from the stone building. Step out of the vehicle. Are you doing a sky base? He's out of range. Boom. Where are you? You're coping, brother. You're capping. How are there 11 people? Oh my God, I got a chicken. I never cap; you do. I'm the chicken. No, it's me. This chicken's going to kill everybody. I'm not shooting my weapon. Come here, chicken; I'll chase people down. They do one HP though. Okay, that's a life. How do I hide in this zone? You better find a spot. Hey, how are you? What the heck? Screw this. Vista, go. You don't see me. Wait, I don't see you. Nope. So there are seven people in this zone, and I can't find them. Height is your friend; they've got to be up here. I'm coming. Oh my God, I'm going to die in the storm. Four people left; hide as my friend. Hey, you find Courage within 5 seconds, and I'll let you live. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. You're in the storm, Courage. I'm waiting. You're healing. One more alive. I'm not looking. Oh my God, where am I supposed to go? 3, 2, 1—ready or not, here I come. That's one; now I can kill you. Wait, oh, so close. You came third. Okay, I got to be third in the next round where you're hunting me. It's time for game number two. I need to find Nick a30; I can spot his forehead. You guys can hide in 3, 2, 1—go. I'll start hunting in 10, 9. This isn't a good spot. I'm going to the elevator. 5, 3, 2, 1—you broke the elevator. Look at this player. I'm dead. Good try. I got to find him. I see you shooting, Courage. You don't see me shooting; you hear me. Through deductive reasoning, you're on the top right side of the city, on height, trying to keep visual. I know every secret about you, Nick a30. Uh-oh. Where was that? Are you taking a zipline, or are people bad at hiding? Oh, wait, you're a bomb. I already found you. They broke the elevator I was going to light. I told you I'm good at this. My community griefed me. I'm sorry, baby a30. Find another hiding spot. I am relentless. Nick eliminated someone. Who's next? Stop moving. Nick, tell me your favorite poutine topping. I thought it was just cheese and gravy. Name your favorite part of being Canadian: people don't swear here. No one's ever cursed. This is my hiding spot from last game. I've never cursed either. You've never heard me curse in my career. If you curse now, I'll give you a life back. It's tempting, Courage. How strong are Nick a30's morals? Are you killing a lot of people? You're scaring me. The combat shotgun is good for this. I see you. I bet there's someone behind this tree. I'm smelling, boy. Why are you scaring me, Courage? You thought the darkness was your ally. Turn around and go back. I was born in the dark. Are you on the zipline or grind rails? I see you. I was grinding. You could grind on me. Come back. Are you trying to make me find you? Who cheated right there? No cheating. G30 is dead and gone, along with the Hun player I drifted on. Bye. Who's on the height of this building? Nick's been calling out like he's on this ice. When he leaves that spot, I'll go to the exact same spot he checked because he wouldn't check it again. He already checked this. There's no way, Courage. Why are you muting? Are you nervous? Where are you? I'm on the ultimate height of this building, loving life. Tell me when you come down. I came down. What now? I went down. You went down on who? Oh my God, sus 830. He's back. Did you actually? I'm not on that roof anymore. Seriously, I would never lie. I'm not on that roof. Did you see anybody just a second ago? I saw someone go up to that roof. Wait, what are these right here? What is this? Someone cheated. What are you shooting at? I think someone cheated. Check this roof. I'm okay. I'll check inside this building; I bet no one's nearby. By me? Okay. Wow, look at you. Goodbye. I thought that was you. My strategy is to sprint so fast you don't know where I am. My character is quick; I'm the true ninja. You're having a good time. Check the building you just checked, the highest one; someone's chilling up top. On ultimate height? Yeah. You're telling on them. He just ran; he pickaxed. He's mad at me and rat. Hey, you're near me. Hold on, Nick. Oh my goodness, look. It's a nice convention—a no-cursing convention. Everyone's here. Look at this. I'm sure Nick's going to run over right now. This is so cool. Where are you, Courage? You're scaring me. A wise man once said a person playing hide-and-seek will never check the same spot twice, so I've checked it three times and I'm still alive. It's a double right there. You still have two lives with 38 other players. You have to beat top three, then it goes to a race in overtime. I see who can kill the most players. You're so good at griefing your community and making children cry. You didn't hit me; you have to hit me first to count as a life. You messed up. I didn't hit him. You're so lucky; my accuracy's bad. You're going to die. Did you just zipline? I heard you; you're up here somewhere. You dropped down? No, I didn't. Stop stream sniping me. I already have enough stream snipers. Stop it. You have to hit me for me to lose a life. You have got to be kidding me. I'm so far away. Thank you, Mega Mall grind rails. Thank you, Epic. You are never going to find me. What just happened? Nick a30, you're my—what just happened? Nick, I have the aerialist perk. I'm dead; I jumped off the roof, and it didn't let me pull my chute. After that brief glitch, we're back at a new POI. We're in our top 50. Nick, you have two lives. Does this count as one if I tag you? No. You better go hide right now. Go, hide. No leaving Kenjutsu Crossing; this building and around only. There are so many cool spaces to hide. I have a really good idea; I'm Giga-braining this. This building is huge. This POI is huge. Nick, see how gin I am. Watch this, chat. I see everybody. You didn't think this would happen, huh? Nick, I'm reporting you to Epic Games. You're never getting an icon series. There are two. I see everybody, but I thought I was G a30. Hello, Nick a30. You have one life left. This is why you cheat. I'm disappointed in you. Oh my gosh, this is incredible seeing all these people. This POI looks crazy. You're okay with this? Yep. Bye. There it goes. I'm going up to height right now. Who's up here? Anybody hiding on ultimate height? Courage, how do you feel about the graphics on epic settings? Let me tell you, I feel like I'm in a movie; they're insane. Are you surprised at how big this POI is? I'm lost. I'd say it's extremely big—way too big. Too descriptive, but okay. He's not going to check the same spot twice, right? What is happening over there? I'll give you a hint because I used wall hacks. I'll shoot so you know where I am. You're near backshot; you should be scared. I am scared every morning when I look in the mirror. Don't you dare say that. You're a very handsome man. You think so? Yes, your mom told me to say that. Wait, what? Oh, no. She was just watching my stream; that's not family-friendly, Nick. Last time we did a fashion show, you went all out. Now I know this area isn't safe, so I'll return the favor: light this place on fire. You're crazy. Everyone's got to move. He's a madman. Burn. Oh my goodness, this man is psycho. I learned from Nick a30. Everyone go to Steamy Springs. I'm going to say you have to be in that center buildings area. You have to be within the buildings in that general area, not on the outskirts. I'm finding my hiding spot inside Steamy Springs, being discreet. Just trying to find a spot, brother. You know, trying to get by. Yeah, for sure. That would have been a sick hiding spot. 4, 3, 2, 1—I'm on the way in. Hello? I'm going to make an exit plan. Ready? I'm going to swap and turn it. Oh my God, he's going to hear her. He's there. Nick, do you hear me? Give me a hint. I need a hint, please. Nick, I think you know what I'm going to do. Oh gosh, I'm on top of this roof. You see me right now, Nick? Uh, yeah, no, I can see you. I'm not even pro. I got this. Oh my God. Clear. Anyone up here? I'm on the roof. Hello? I thought that was hello. Wait, who? Player built this? You didn't hit me. Were you in there? You didn't hit me, bro. Did you not see me kill someone in there? There was another person. I thought he was you;
