Just like many other esports over the last year, Fortnite\u2019s competitive scene has suffered a fair bit as events have been few and between, and there has been a complete lack of LAN events. With 2021 getting underway, Epic Games revealed their competitive scene plans for the new year, bringing back the Fortnite Champion Series \u2013 FNCS \u2013 in a trios format. That is slated to start on February 14, and players have been getting practice in ahead of time, though, it has lead to back and forth between pros Bugha and Mackwood after stream sniping allegations were made. The pair, and their respective trios, competed in an open event on February 12, streaming the action for their fans.
