FaZe duo Tfue and Cloak pull out of ESL Fortnite Katowice Royale due to low prize money Fortnite Royale tournament set to kick off in Katowice, Poland on Friday, March 1. The pair were among the biggest names set to compete at the $500,000 tournament, but it appears that two of the biggest names in competitive Fortnite will be absent when the tournament kicks off. First stated by Lepore, the pair appear to have turned down the opportunity to travel to Poland, citing the prize money as a factor in their decision not to go. While streaming on Monday, February 18 with Jack \u2018CouRageJD\u2019 Dunlop, Tim \u2018Timthetatman\u2019 Betar and Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff, Cloak revealed the news while the squad discussed the possibility of giving up competing in favor of streaming where players could earn more money. While NICKMERCS said that he loved competing, and spoke about the prize money for the event, Cloak simply said: \u201cMe and Turner aren\u2019t going to Poland because of it.\u201d This was seemingly confirmed on Wednesday, February 20 when viewers of Tenney\u2019s stream claimed that the Fortnite star had said they wouldn\u2019t be there, stating he had \u201cshit to do,\u201d and again referenced the prize money, saying: \u201cNot to be a dick, but what\u2019s $30,000 to me?\u201d For competitive players who also stream, the decision to attend events is becoming more difficult, especially if you are a star on Twitch. Taking time away from your channel to fly off to competitions can often mean you lose subscribers to your channel, costing players money, especially if you don\u2019t place highly at the event. While it seems that Turner and Lepore won\u2019t be there, some of Fortnite\u2019s biggest stars will still be at the ESL Katowice Royale, which is split into two events, with a Polish-only event on February 23 and 24, while the international event starts on March 1.

Epic Games are yet to comment on the news that Tfue and Cloak don\u2019t intend on attending Katowice, but it will be interesting if the pair do fail to show up, and whether Epic decide to find replacements for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
