Fortnite pro at 100k WSOE event says a boombox is better than aim WSOE, Twitch \/ Epic Games, FortniteFortnite pros \u2018Psalm\u2019 and \u2018Rhux\u2019 had a lot to say about the game\u2019s brand-new \u2018boombox\u2019 item, which stirred up a slew of controversy after being released the same day as the $100,000 WSOE tournament on December 30. The pair were approached for an interview after taking a second win in Duos during the WSOE when Rhux made a fairly scathing statement about the in-game item. \u201cIf I get a boombox, it\u2019s a free win,\u201d Rhux said when asked about his team\u2019s Victory Royale. \u201cI mean, we had a boombox in [the] high ground, so it was a pretty free win.\u201d Psalm appeared to corroborate his claims, stating, \u201cYou don\u2019t need aim, you just need a boombox. You just need music, know what I\u2019m saying?\u201d Fortnite\u2019s boombox has been at the center of controversy since its introduction, with many across the scene decrying its overly-destructive properties. The boombox is a throwable item that destroys any builds in its path, literally hurling a major monkey wrench into the game\u2019s meta. Popular streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins spoke out on the item via Twitter, with his harsh sentiments echoed by a slew of other professional players and personalities. \u201cEnjoy scrimming in Fortnite with that new item, LOL,\u201d Ninja wrote. This isn\u2019t the first time Epic Games have introduced a new, game-breaking item just ahead of a major tournament, either; the company released the highly-criticized Infinity Blade just before their Winter Royale tournament series, vaulting the item shortly thereafter. Psalm and Rhux took fourth place at the WSOE, with Ceice and Elevate taking first place and the $100,000 prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
