Five most disappointing performances at Fortnite World Cup ft. Tfue, Bizzle and more The Fortnite World Cup is finally over after Bugha, Aqua and Nyhrox were crowned world champions. In the fallout, we pick out a few players who failed to meet expectations in New York. Bugha put on a masterful display in the solos tournament, winning the first match of the event, staying in first place until the end of the six matches to take home the $3m grand prize. In the duos, Aqua and Nyhrox put on a clinic, dominating matches from the high ground to secure the trophy. There were plenty of surprise packages at the tournament, such as 13-year-old Argentinean star King who wowed the crowd with his relentless aggression, but also plenty of players who failed to perform. We pick out the five biggest disappointments from the Fortnite World Cup. Tfue As one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, expectations were high for former FaZe Clan star Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney who secured his place at the tournament by streaming on his channel, without a delay, to hundreds of thousands. Despite landing at his favored spot, the Block, the 21-year-old was unable to get going and found himself losing engagements way before nearing the placement points. His 67 place finish was a massive under-performance given his success at previous LAN events. Stompy After dominating the European qualifiers in both solos and duos, Eleven Gaming\u2019s Klaus \u2018Stompy\u2019 Konstanzer was expected to be among the very top players. However, he couldn\u2019t replicate his sensational online performances on the main stage. Indeed, a 14 placed finish in the solo event and 25 placed finish in the duo event isn\u2019t anything to be ashamed of, but the pre-tournament favorite will know he could have done much better. Funk FaZe Clan star Trevor \u2018Funk\u2019 Siegler was one of the few players to double qualify for both the solos and duos event. However, the American struggled to perform under the bright lights, finishing 99 in solos without registering a single point. With many players contesting his drop spot, the remainder of his game was affected as a result. Given his evident skill, it won\u2019t be long before Funk returns to the right end of the leaderboard. Bizzle Entering the tournament as Fortnite\u2019s highest earner, hopes were high that Ghost Gaming\u2019s Timothy \u2018Bizzle\u2019 Miller could replicate his ridiculously consistent performances in previous LAN events during the solo World Cup. However, he was unable to deal with the aggression shown by some players in such a stacked lobby of pros. A 23 place finish isn\u2019t too bad, but many expected Bizzle to be right at the top of the standings. Nicks Qualifying from the South American region, Brazilian pro Nicollas \u2018Nicks\u2019 Polonio de Oliveira was highlighted as a player who could cause a massive upset, following some dominant displays during the qualifiers. However, the Cloud9 pro couldn\u2019t deal with the step up in competition, finishing 51 in solos and 47 in duos. His aggressive playstyle cost him valuable placement points; the youngster will have to adapt his game to be successful in future events. What is the next tournament in Fortnite? The World Cup was the biggest event in Fortnite\u2019s history, but Epic Games still have big plans for their competitive scene. Announced in New York was the brand-new Championship Series which will be implemented in Season 10. With even more millions set to be on offer, all the players on this list will have the chance to redeem themselves in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
