Bugha hits out at Epic Games over Fortnite tournaments region system Epic gamesFortnite World Cup Solo\u2019s winner, Kyle \u2018Bugha\u2019 Giersdorf has hit out at Epic Games for allowing players to compete in other regions. Fortnite\u2019s weekly events such as the Champions Series Trio\u2019s tournament is often streamed by professional players and streamers. However, despite their popularity amongst viewers, World Cup winner, Bugha, expressed his concerns for the weekly events\u2019 current region system, which often sees European players competing in the North American tournaments and vice versa.

Bugha also claimed that certain players would even \u201cgrief\u201d or purposefully sabotage other competitors while playing in Bugha\u2019s NA-East events. \u201cWhy are other regions able to play on yours in tournaments,\u201d The World Cup winner asked, explaining his concerns with the current system, \u201cAll they do is grief.\u201d why are other regions able to play on yours in tournaments, all they do is grief \u2014 SEN Bugha (@bugha) September 7, 2019 Although streamers and pros are less likely to take the tournament as serious when competing in another region, there are many pro players who try their best to make the tournament as competitive as possible regardless of what region the online event is based in. One European star who is often seen competing at a high level in North American tournaments is FaZe Clan\u2019s Mongraal, who recently finished 3rd in one of the Solo Cash Cups. It is unknown if Epic Games will look to take on Bugha\u2019s criticism and change the current region system or even introduce harsher punishments for those found guilty of griefing in order to make the weekly Fortnite tournaments more competitive again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
