College Fortnite pros quit after winning CSLeague Nationals on stream CStarleague2, Twitch \/ Epic GamesMany top players have bemoaned the state of Fortnite\u2019s competitive scene \u2013 but two college pros spoke out on the issue in a big way after taking a major championship. Rather than celebrating their victory at the Collegiate Starleague Nationals, University of Georgia pros Mister.Lemon and JACK0 made a surprising statement on the main stage following their win. \u201cHonestly, we don\u2019t really like the game that much,\u201d one player answered after being asked what was next for the pair. \u201cEpic is kind of messing around a little bit with the way they\u2019re balancing everything.\u201d Retiring from Fortnite due to Epic\u2019s esports blunders He wasn\u2019t alone in his sentiments; his teammate held a similar view on the matter, stating straight-up that the pair were officially retiring from the esport. \u201cWe\u2019ve decided that we don\u2019t want to play competitive Fortnite anymore, so we\u2019re going to move on to different games and probably, like, do different stuff,\u201d he claimed. Mister.Lemon and JACK0 wouldn\u2019t be the first competitive players to speak out about Epic\u2019s esport practices, by far; in fact, massively popular Twitch streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins called out Epic in a scathing Tweet on April 28, claiming that Fortnite\u2019s Arenas were \u201cunplayable.\u201d \u201cArenas are unplayable with the streamer mode not working,\u201d Ninja wrote. \u201cGetting 10 people landing on me at the edge of the FIRST circle every single game. \u2026 please fix so I can actually play\/practice.\u201d Arenas are unplayable with the streamer mode not working. Getting 10 people landing on me at the edge of the FIRST circle every single game. @EpicGames @FortniteGame please fix so I can actually play\/practice \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) April 28, 2019 Epic\u2019s April Update Despite widespread player complaints, Epic Games have stood firm on their decision to remove Fortnite\u2019s stretched resolution and siphon mechanic from its core modes, claiming that they \u201cseek to avoid optional settings which provide players with a significant gameplay advantage.\u201d Epic Games have also been known to introduce huge changes to Fortnite just ahead of major competitive events, as seen in the induction of the Boom Box item the same day as the $100,000 WSEO tournament \u2013 which saw even the likes of TSM Myth joke that the company was \u201ctrolling.\u201d Some players are even speculating that season 10 might drop just before the Fortnite World Cup in July \u2013 leaving competitors nervous as to their chances in the competition. Epic\u2019s statement on this matter was largely open-ended in their April 26 Competitive Development Update, but appeared to hint that updates to the \u201cever-evolving game\u201d would not halt for its competitive circuit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
