SypherPK explains why Fortnite World Cup qualifiers could be \u201can absolute joke\u201d SypherPK – Twitter \/ Epic GamesThe qualifiers for the Fortnite is largely negative following what has been a series of in-game changes during Season 8 that many have opposed. One of the biggest gripes that players have with the game is the continued existence of the Baller vehicle, which many from the competitive community have come out and bashed for being too overpowered and noncompetitive. SypherPK\u2019s rant about the Baller On April 12, popular Twitch streamer and YouTuber SypherPK took to Twitter to share his thoughts on what kind of effect the Baller could have on the Fortnite World Cup and its qualifier tournaments. \u201cI just want to say if Fortnite keeps the Hamster Balls in the World Cup Qualifiers or Finals, then the tournament will be an absolute joke,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cIf you don\u2019t understand why the hamster balls are noncompetitive and make for a terrible viewing and playing experience, then I don\u2019t know\u2026\u201d I just want to say that if @FortniteGame keeps the Hamster Balls in the World Cup Qualifiers or Finals then the tournament will be an absolute joke. If you don’t understand why the hamster balls are noncompetitive and make for a terrible viewing and playing experience then idk\u2026 \u2014 LG SypherPK (@SypherPK) April 12, 2019 Sypher, who is considered to be one of the better players in the game, announced several weeks ago that he will be taking competing a lot more seriously for the World Cup, whereas previously, his content was based more on casual gameplay. Why don\u2019t Fortnite players like the Baller? Most players would agree that the Baller simply has no place in the competitive scene, as fundamental aspects of the vehicle just don\u2019t go well with how competitive matches play out. The main concern has always been with the Baller\u2019s overpowered nature, and the fact that players can simply hide in one and use it to move around in such a way that makes them difficult to take down, especially in the all-important endgame phase of matches. Epic Games nerf the Baller In an attempt to appease the competitive community, Epic decided to implement some changes to the Baller that saw its health be decreased from 300 to 200. However, the plans that were originally announced by Epic \u2013 to give players the ability to shoot through the Baller\u2019s glass outer layer and hit the driver \u2013 have apparently been scrapped after they said \u201cit didn\u2019t feel like the right solution\u201d following a trial phase. Will the Baller be removed before the World Cup? Epic have confirmed that the Fortnite World Cup will be played during Season 10, which means that the qualifiers and the final event will together span over three different Seasons (8-10). With how Epic have treated controversial additions in the past, mainly the X-4 Stormwing plane, it would seem that the Ballers won\u2019t be removed from the game until at least the start of Season 9. However, if Epic have been one thing it\u2019s unpredictable, so no one really knows how long the Ballers will be there or even what would replace them once they get removed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
