Fortnite players call for Skirmish events to be postponed after more lag issues It was another lag filled week of the Fortnite Fall Skirmish unfortunately, as the $10 million series continues to struggle with connection issues. The fifth week of competition was a duos tournament, won by Team Liquid\u2019s Thomas \u201972hrs\u2019 Mulligan and Ryan \u2018Chap\u2019 Chaplo, but was marred somewhat by the lag issues. Some of the game\u2019s biggest stars, including Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins and TSM\u2019s Ali \u2018Myth\u2019 Kabbani, took to Twitter to express their frustration with connection problems. One of the most telling clips comes from Ninja\u2019s own stream, where a build battle gets very messy and laggy, ultimately causing his demise. Ninja is understandably infuriated, saying \u201cwhy do we even play? It\u2019s so stupid. I love everything they\u2019re trying to do, but that is just not ok, and it\u2019s like that every week. They have to do something.\u201d TSM\u2019s Myth even suggested that Epic Games put such high payout tournaments on hold until they can resolve the issues caused by lag. I don’t know what EPIC’s plans are for the future but I do have just one suggestion if anyone is listening Please take a break from these MILLION dollar skirmishes until the lag is fixed. You can have 100 players at the snap of your fingers to test this stuff. Jas Do Et \u2014 Myth (@TSM_Myth) October 20, 2018 Similarly, FaZe Clan\u2019s Dennis \u2018Cloak\u2019 Lepore thought it might be best if the Skirmish was just put on hold for a week, as the competitive integrity was undermined by lag. More: Full recap of Fortnite Fall Skirmish Week 5 tournament \u2013 highlights, final scores and placements, and current Club standings – Another Team Liquid player, Jake \u2018Poach\u2019 Brumleve also wanted Epic to reconsider running the Skirmish events with such massive prize pools until the issues are fixed, comparing it to winning the lottery. EPIC needs to sort out these issues before massive prize pools are given in these tourneys. Every week there is some sort of lag and it IS game-changing. Its like playing a different game, NOTHING you practice matters. \u2014 POACH (@LiquidPoach) October 19, 2018 Ninja himself took to Twitter to call the lag \u2018unbearable\u2019. Epic Games have so far done little to acknowledge the issues, but with yet another week so badly effected, they will surely be considering future options. Rough skirmish man, had Three 3 kill games just shy of 1 point and the lag end game when we had mats was unbearable. Still always a learning experience and enjoyed the matches with @MoNsTcR Still gaming https:\/\/t.co\/QC3Dpr8MTr \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) October 19, 2018 The final week of the Fall Skirmish will be played on LAN at TwitchCon on October 26-28, so perhaps there will be no major lag issues there if Epic can optimize better, as the final prize money is handed out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
