Epic Games disable controversial item ahead of Fortnite Trios tournament Epic Games revealed the Storm Flip has been disabled in the Arena playlist and will not be usable in the Trip Tournament. Right before the Epic Games-hosted Trios tournament kicks off for Fortnite, they announced that players will not have access to the Storm Flip item. This item allows the storm to change positions and can create a bunch of chaos in endgame situations. In the Arena and tournament settings, there are many players in the final circle so the Storm Flip is game-changing. We’ve disabled the Storm Flip item in the Trio Tournament and Arena Playlist. \u26c8\ufe0f \u2014 Fortnite (@FortniteGame) July 12, 2019 Epic Games proved before they would disable items that compromised the competitive integrity of Fortnite and that\u2019s what we\u2019re seeing here. A reason wasn\u2019t given for it being disabled but it isn\u2019t that hard to guess when it\u2019s gone. The Storm Flip has always been a controversial item even since its release. On July 10, a professional player for E11 gaming showed just how powerful the Storm Flip was in a late game as he was able to wipe pretty much the entire lobby during the final circle because of it. Players were left scrambling and forced to change up their entire strategy while Tschinken was able to pick off players one by one. Yooooo gg’s i outplayed you with my stormflip (1:05 -> reaction) pic.twitter.com\/CvX5gDZ4mW \u2014 E11 Tschinken (@Tschiiinken) July 10, 2019 Epic Games didn\u2019t go into any detail as to when players can expect the Storm Flip to return. It might be in need of a simple nerf or much more work could be on the horizon. With enough pro players complaining about it and seeing the damage it can do, it was clear something had to be done. We\u2019ll keep you posted about the future of the Storm Flip in Fortnite. In the meantime, enjoy your competitive playlists without it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
