Controversy Brews in the $20,000 \u2018Friday Fortnite\u2019 Tournament Involving Nickmercs\/SypherPK and the TSM Duo of Myth and Hamlinz Controversy has brewed in week three of the \u2018Friday Fortnite\u2019 $20,000 tournament involving two teams and a newly implemented rule. A tiebreaker match between the team of \u2018Nickmercs\u2019 and \u2018SypherPK\u2019 and the Team SoloMid pro Fortnite duo of \u2018Myth\u2019 and \u2018Hamlinz\u2019 had to be replayed because SypherPK allegedly did not adhere to the new stream delay rule. The two teams matched up in the second round of the competition\u2019s Winners Bracket, and since the total kill counts of both sides were even after two games, a third game had to be played. After Nickmercs and SypherPK won the tiebreaker match and looked to move on in the bracket, Myth claimed that he had died at the hands of stream snipers and asked to make sure that SypherPK had the correct stream delay on. New tournament rules dictate that all participants of \u2018Friday Fortnite\u2019 who are live-streaming their gameplay must have at least a two minute delay on their streams, and after a closer look, it appeared that SypherPK\u2019s delay fell several seconds short of that.

Ninja, Roman Atwood, Tory Lanez, and more! – The tournament referee in charge initially gave Nickmercs and SypherPK the win, allowing them to proceed to their next match, in which they beat \u2018Ricegum\u2019 and FaZe Clan\u2019s \u2018SpaceLyon\u2019 in the first game. However, during that match, they were notified that the decision had been reversed and they had to replay their tiebreaker match against their previous opponents because of the apparent violation of the stream delay rule. After a few brief moments of tension and frustration among all parties involved, Myth and Hamlinz agreed to take the loss and move to the Losers Bracket, giving Nickmercs and SypherPK the win after all. Popular YouTuber Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem, who is the brains behind \u2018Friday Fortnite,\u2019 tweeted some information out about the situation. So @TSM_Myth & @SypherPK beef over stream delay resolved. @NICKMERCS & @SypherPK advance. #FridayFortnite \u2014 KEEM (@KEEMSTAR) May 25, 2018 Also @TSM_Myth was NOT being a crybaby, he actually had a legitimate concern as @SypherPK did not have the 2 min delay. Sypher received a warning. \u2014 KEEM (@KEEMSTAR) May 25, 2018 However, it was not all good news for the winning team as the tournament officials decided to not count their previous victory in the first game of their match against Ricegum and SpaceLyon, which they had been playing when the decision to replay the tiebreaker was first announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
