Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins was dealing with an illness that prevented him from streaming, however he posted a screenshot of his qualifying scores from the event. The face of Fortnite posted an impressive score of 29, good enough to be in a qualifying position after one day. To sick to stream but my first attempt I got 29! Clutched the last game with 5 elims and a win. pic.twitter.com\/55dBtKuhVm \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) November 25, 2018 Liquid\u2019s Thomas \u201972Hrs\u2019 Mulligan put up one of the most impressive scores out there compared to other big names, showing off a score of 31 and even claiming it could have been higher. internet went out and cost me a dub, still managed to swing 31 points pic.twitter.com\/1clEd5gcW3 \u2014 Thomas Mulligan (@72hrs) November 25, 2018 Fellow Team Liquid pro Vivid did even better, getting 34 points to finish in 15th place on the NA leaderboards. First sesh. As fun as this was, it was also pretty tilting. Not sure if i’m ready for round 2 lmfao pic.twitter.com\/GhWLLEJJ7T \u2014 Vivid (@VividFN) November 24, 2018 FaZe Clan\u2019s Nate Hill, who recently called out Fortnite amateurs for complaining about a lack of opportunity, did not place in the top 200 after the first day. He tweeted his frustrations during the event. 100 Thieves player Kenith was the opposite of Hill and tweeted about how proud he was for not tilting at all. It helped that he put up one of the best scores in the region, 32 points for 28th place. I’m actually most proud of the fact that I didn’t tilt at all today. Even with all the 2nd places. In fact, I feel my performance can be completely attributed to that. \u2014 100T Kenith (@kenith) November 25, 2018 Finally, it was a rough event for the current champions of Fortnite, FaZe duo Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney and Dennis \u2018Cloak\u2019 Lepore. Tfue only managed 24 points, four points shy of a qualifying position, and was controversially eliminated by a cheater. Cloak did not participate in the event at all due to a scheduling conflict. TSM\u2019s Ali \u2018Myth\u2019 Kabbani, who wanted to enjoy Thanksgiving leftovers on Saturday instead of qualifying, also placed outside of the top 200. Welp, dinner with my family so I have to stop trying to qualify for a 1 million dollar tournament. Ohh I wonder the thought it would be the brightest idea to plan this shit on one of the biggest American holidays. As @TSM_Daequan would say\u2026 THIS GAME TRAAAAAAASH. \u2014 Myth (@TSM_Myth) November 25, 2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
