Epic Games to host another Fortnite Trios Cup after disastrous first attempt Graphics: Epic GamesEpic Games have revealed that they will be hosting a second Fortnite Trios Cup, despite the first one stirring up controversy among the community \u2013 plagued with problems. The developers of the popular battle royale game have revealed that there will be another Trios tournament commencing on July 21 and the option to play as a Trio in Fortnite will be available until the end of Season 9. There had been some major concerns raised, which led to the eventual disabling of the Storm Flip item on July 12. Players noticed that once enemies had been struck down, they weren\u2019t dropping the number of materials they should have done \u2013 50 each. Instead, they were dropping nothing at all. 600Epic have since moved to reassure players that they are aware of the problems that impacted the first Trios Cup and have made some tweaks for next time. \u201cWhile addressing the material drop issue in the Trios Cash Cup, we ran into a different issue,\u201d their statement reads. \u201cWe\u2019ve decided to run the Trios Cash Cup with default harvesting rate and no material drop for the rest of the weekend.

Two other alternatives were explored by the tournament organizers once the issues came to light, which included both reverting to Arena material drop settings (an increased rate) and even scrapping the Trios Cup entirely. Please be aware that in this tournament, teams will be instantly disconnected from the match as soon as the last player on the team is eliminated. We will run an additional one-day Trios tournament on July 21. Arena Trios will also remain enabled until the end of this season \u2014 Fortnite (@FortniteGame) July 13, 2019 However, after confirming on Twitter \u2013 and Reddit \u2013 that the show must go on and that they would rather offer the opportunity to compete again, rather than canceling proceedings, we now know that they\u2019re going to give it another go. Competitors will be hoping that similar issues don\u2019t resurface in the upcoming one-day event later in July, and judging by the firm response from the game\u2019s developer, they will be monitoring the situation closely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
