xQc Roasts Professional Fortnite Players Following PAX West\u2019s Summer Skirmish Event Twitter \/ @xQcFormer professional Overwatch player, Felix \u201cxQc\u201d Lengyel wasn\u2019t impressed by competitive Fortnite after watching the $1.5 million tournament at PAX West, criticizing the gameplay. xQc previously played in the Overwatch League, with Team Envy owned Dallas Fuel, before controversies led to his release. But, it doesn\u2019t look like he will be attempting to go pro in Fortnite any time soon. After the \u2018Summer Skirmish\u2019 event, which saw unknown player \u2018Morgausse\u2019 win $250,000 for 1st place, xQc give a harsh review of the pro players competing. Comparing Fortnite to other competitive titles, xQc blasted the way that players would move around the map passively, hiding near the edge of the storm circle. \u201cLast time I checked, these competitive games, esports with high skill cap, people used to move, shoot, duck, use abilities properly, switch weapons properly, do hard switches, target switches, strategic moves. I watched these piece of shit Fortnite tournaments, and all I see is a bunch of fucking pussies, hidden two meters from the zone, in their small built wooden fort, peeking through the cracks in the window. So fucking boring. It\u2019s like they\u2019re playing hide and seek, in built forts made out of wood planks and bricks and metal. So boring.\u201d While xQc isn\u2019t the only one who has been critical of Fortnite gameplay at the highest level, the viewing numbers for the tournament tell a different story.

Epic Games, developers of Fortnite, could still stand to make the incentives for aggressive gameplay more significant through, by rewarding more for eliminations, to prevent the overly passive playstyle sometimes on show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
