Fortnite pros slam World Cup qualifying event \u2013 Poach, NICKMERCS, Cloak and more Twitter: Poach\/Epic Games\/Twitter: NICKMERCSA number of professional Fortnite players have spoken out about the current state of the game\u2019s World Cup qualifying events, including its point scoring system and material cap. What is the Fortnite World Cup? The Fortnite World Cup event, which starts on April 13, is meant to be a huge crowning point for the Battle Royale\u2019s competitive scene. There is an absolutely staggering $30 million prize pool on offer, with a huge chunk of change going to the eventual winners. Players, both casual and professional, are still trying their best to qualify for the event even if they disagree with how points are scored. How are points scored? Currently, players are rewarded with one point per kill \u2013 seemingly encouraging action in games. Points can also be scored for game placements and wins, but some pros aren\u2019t happy with Epic Games\u2019 current system. Team Liquid\u2019s Jake \u2018Poach\u2019 Brumleve, who is never one to shy away from voicing his opinion, stated: \u201cKills need to be valued, however, placement needs to have more value or double. Based on the time given for 10 games it\u2019s smarter to not play out full games and W-key everyone, these games don\u2019t even feel like they are high level and yet these decide who is going to the world cup.\u201d Kills need to be valued however placement needs to have more value or double. Based on the time given for 10 games it’s smarter to not play out full games and W-key everyone, these games don’t even feel like they are high level and yet these decide who is going to the world cup. \u2014 POACH (@LiquidPoach) April 7, 2019 Ghost Gaming\u2019s Dylan \u2018Dmo\u2019 Moore added to Poach\u2019s point by saying that players receiving a point per kill is the \u201cbiggest joke\u201d in the open qualifier. He later posted: \u201cIf there is point per kill, there needs to be more points for placement, like way more points.\u201d If there is point per kill there needs to be more points for placement like way more points. \u2014 Ghost Dmo (@zzdmo) April 7, 2019 100 Thieves star Nick \u2018NICKMERS\u2019 Kolcheff replied to Poach\u2019s post, backing up both his and Dmo\u2019s stance on having more points for placing higher. He posted: \u201cPlacement points should literally be doubled. 3 hours isn\u2019t enough time, 4 hours should do.\u201d Placement points should literally be doubled. 3 hours isn\u2019t enough time, 4 hours should do. eZpZ \u2014 Nickmercs (@NICKMERCS) April 7, 2019 Denis \u2018Cloak\u2019 Lepore, a key part of FaZe Clan\u2019s stacked Fortnite roster, didn\u2019t chime in about the points system but, instead, wants Epic Games to life their current cap on materials in the qualifying matches. Please increase the 500\/500\/500 Mat cap @FortniteGame \u2014 Creator code:fazecloak (@cloakzy) April 7, 2019 Luminosity Gaming\u2019s Sypher \u2018SypherPK\u2019 Ali focused his attention on Epic allowing the controversial Baller vehicle to remain in the competitive games despite the fact that it is set to receive a nerf following the qualifiers. Why are we playing our 3rd online tournament with hamster balls when we know they’re supposed to be severely nerfed next week? Why can’t Epic disable them until the nerf? no competitive integrity at all. \u2014 LG SypherPK (@SypherPK) April 7, 2019 Will Epic make changes? It remains to be seen if Epic will make changes to the qualifying events, be it altering the scoring, lifting the cap on materials or making an earlier than planned change to the Baller vehicles. However, at this stage, it is unlikely that any sort of changes are considering there is less than a week until the World Cup kicks off and the focus is likely switched to making sure that the major event goes off without too many issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
