xQc explains why the Fortnite World Cup is \u201cunbearable\u201d after watching Tfue xQc \/ TwitchPopular Twitch streamer Felix \u2018xQc\u2018 Lengyel wasn\u2019t impressed after he decided to tune into some of the Fortnite World Cup qualifiers, watching FaZe Clan pro Turner \u2018Tfue\u2018 Tenney, calling the viewing experience \u201cunbearable\u201d. The Fortnite World Cup is handing out a total of $40 million in prizing across the qualifiers and finals, with the winner of solo tournament netting a ridiculous $3 million. Fortnite is obviously incredibly popular in terms of players, but also in terms of viewing figures, consistently sitting among the top five games on Twitch \u2013 but xQc can\u2019t understand why anyone would want to watch the game played competitively. Competitive Fortnite doesn\u2019t entertain xQc His main complaint stems from the technique players use to ensure the highest placing possible in each match. This is of course crucial when it comes to qualifying, but it results in players simply trying to survive for as long as possible, rather than play aggressively. Whereas in a normal match, there might be 10 or less players left in the final circle, xQc estimates that while he was watching Tfue, 30 or 40 players would still be alive in the very final circle on the map. At this point, each player would then hunker down in a build, and once they established some high ground, they simply edit a wall so that they can see through it, and continue to play it safe. \u201cThey\u2019re not even playing the game!\u201d xQc exclaimed, \u201cit\u2019s like an architect game, seriously. Shit is unbearable.\u201d It would seem that not everyone agrees though, as top streamers like Tfue and Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2018 Blevins were pulling in hundreds of thousands of viewers during when playing their qualifying matches, so clearly people still want to watch. xQc himself comes from a competitive background, formerly a professional Overwatch player, and admittedly, similar criticisms have been made of Overwatch\u2019s merit as a spectator experience, although for different reasons than Fortnite\u2019s \u2018stalemate\u2019 like action, particularly in the late game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
