Epic Games reveals reason for delaying Fortnite Season 2 competitions DreamHack \/ Epic GamesEpic has pumped the brakes on all Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 2 competitions, including announcements on the Fortnite World Cup and Champion Series, in the wake of the game\u2019s latest update, delaying tournaments until some major issues are fixed. Fortnite\u2019s pro scene has been in a bit of a lull since the release of Chapter 2: Season 2. Epic has been quiet on announcing any details regarding upcoming tournaments, including the Champion Series and the impending World Cup. Given players learned about Fortnite World Cup 2019 specifics at the end of February last year, pros were expecting a bit more than radio silence before now. However, Epic has looked to ease concerns, saying they are working through some issues first before releasing any info. In a March 2 statement on the Fortnite Competitive Twitter account, Epic mentioned they are ironing out many of the performance issues plaguing players since Season 2\u2019s release. \u201cFor Chapter 2: Season 2, we\u2019re working to address performance issues impacting both clients and servers,\u201d it said. \u201cOur goal is to improve performance before kicking off any cash-prized competition.
