Liquid Chap explains why console players are \u201cf**ked\u201d for Fortnite World Cup Team Liquid\u2019s Ryan \u2018Chap\u2019 Chaplo believes that console players won\u2019t be able to qualify for the upcoming Fortnite World Cup, explaining that PC players have too many advantages compared to their controller-wielding counterparts. What is the Fortnite World Cup? The Fortnite World Cup is the biggest event that Epic Games have ever staged, pitting the best players from around the world against each other to win their share of a $30 million prize pool. Unlike previous tournaments such as the Skirmish events, the age requirement has been lowered to 13 with parental permission, meaning new players who have never had to chance to express their talents before could finally make their breakthrough on the professional scene. Liquid Chap feels console players have \u2018no shot\u2019 at qualification Chap will be competing in the solo tournament and duo event alongside Liquid team-mate Jake \u2018POACH\u2019 Brumleve but had some choice words for players on console looking to earn a qualification spot. \u201cIf you\u2019re on console, you\u2019re not qualifying for Worlds,\u201d Chap shouted. \u201cWhen has a console player even placed in a top 100 in a qualifier \u2013 they\u2019re not going to qualify \u2013 get it out of your brain!\u201d Twitch viewers in chat pointed to the success of Ghost Gaming\u2019s controller player, Aydan \u2018Aydan\u2019 Conrad, but Chap was quick to point out he plays on a PC. Chap feels that console players simply lack the hardware to compete with the top keyboard and mouse players. He said: \u201cYou play on 30 FPS with shadows and motion blur on and you think you can compete?!\u201d The 24-year-old feels that console players shouldn\u2019t be angry about being at a disadvantage and must buy a PC to be taken seriously. \u201cYou\u2019re fucked \u2013 just give it up,\u201d he said. \u201cDon\u2019t get mad because a PC player has an advantage, buy a fucking computer or shut up, that\u2019s just the way of the road.\u201d Indeed, console players are held back by the capabilities of their hardware, but Epic Games have recently introduced a ban on stretched resolution to help bridge the gap to PC players. Nevertheless, it would be extremely surprising to see an Xbox or PS4 displace one of the top performing pro players in the World Cup qualifiers. When is the Fortnite World Cup? Qualifiers for the biggest esport tournament in history start on April 13 and run until June 13 with $1 million on offer during each of the qualifying events. The grand finals will take place in New York on July 26-28 where top players from around the globe will compete for their share of $30 million in a solo and duo event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
