CouRage reveals why he stopped playing Fortnite YouTube: CouRageJack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop was once a massive figure in the world of competitive Fortnite, but the star has stopped playing the battle royale title altogether, and finally revealed his reasons why in an October YouTube video. Although CouRage got his start as a caster for MLG, he became synonymous with Fortnite in 2018-2019, going on to commentate several major events for the battle royale title \u2014 including the Fortnite World Cup, which he did the play-by-play for along with fellow star streamer DrLupo. However, he has since stopped streaming the game altogether and has instead opted for other popular picks like Among Us and Warzone, leaving his Fortnite-centric viewers confused as to why he suddenly broke off from Fortnite. While CouRage has been vocal about his hatred for skill-based matchmaking for some time, he finally explained his reasons for stepping away in a YouTube video on October 13, on the heels of the Chipotle Challenger Series. \u201cFortnite was a game that changed my life forever, and a game that kind of took my life by storm,\u201d he began. \u201cI fell in love with it when I played right on day number one\u2026 and now, three years, later\u2026 is something I will cherish forever.\u201d CouRage went on to explain that when he\u2019d first started streaming the game, he \u201cloved it arguably more than any game I\u2019ve ever loved before.\u201d \u201cBut, like a lot of people, I believe the transition from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2\u2026 towards the end of Chapter 1, I was already falling out of love with the game,\u201d he admitted. \u201cIt became more stressful than anything.\u201d Citing a hatred of the game\u2019s short-lived MECH robots after the Fortnite World Cup last year, he \u201cwanted to love the game, but wasn\u2019t able to,\u201d also claiming that he felt its environment had changed from mostly casual to fiercely competitive during this time. Of course, skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) played a part in this feeling, which he said was \u201cone of the things that completely destroyed my love for the game.\u201d \u201cI think it took away the ability for you to have as much fun as you once did,\u201d he added. \u201cNow in these games, it\u2019s super sweaty, every fight\u2019s a minute long\u2026 it became more stressful than anything.\u201d (Topic begins at 13:32) Although CouRage listed plenty of faults with the title as it currently stands, he made sure to express his love for Epic and hopes to work with the company for years to come, but will be shifting his content to other titles for the foreseeable future. Epic have already revealed their plans to do another Fortnite World Cup in 2021, and considering how popular the former OpTic Gaming star is when it comes to hosting such events, it might not be too long before we see his name tied again to the battle royale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
