Mongraal, Benjyfishy, more slam Fortnite Winter Royale prizing The $15 million Fortnite Winter Royale has helped fill the post-FNCS competitive void, but pro players like FaZe Clan\u2019s Kyle \u2018Mongraal\u2019 Jackson and NRG\u2019s Benjy \u2018Benjyfishy\u2019 Fish aren\u2019t impressed with the prize pool split. The Fortnite Winter Royale in 2019 is an early birthday present for players of the popular battle royale. With a $15 million prize pool split across the world, duos will have three days to grind to the top and earn a bit of Christmas cheer. However, some pros have raised complaints about how the tournament is formatted, and how thin the prize pool is spread. Players like Mongraal and Benjyfishy have spoken out against the thin prize pools, saying that the three-day tournament is a let down compared to previous events. Each platform is expected to get similar prize pools for each day across the weekend, but Mongraal questioned why that\u2019s happening at all. \u201cThere is a prize pool for every region, every platform, top 500 to top 1000, and console has the same prize pool as PC,\u201d he said. Given the fact that there\u2019s plenty of competitive regions and platforms, the $15 million set aside for the tournament will dry up pretty quick, leaving some players at the top with very little to show for their efforts. there is prize pool for every region, every platform, top 500 \u2013 top 1000 and console have the same prize pool as pc, fucking pray we get a duo fncs\u2026 \u2014 Mongraal (@Mongraal) December 9, 2019 Fortnite World Cup duos champion David \u2018Aqua\u2018 Wang zeroed in on the fact that \u201cEU mobile gets more for first than NA-West PC players get,\u201d even though PC has been the official competitive mode throughout the game\u2019s history. Benjyfishy also highlighted how thin the prize pool is, showing that the winners of the Winter Royale Day 1 receive $9,000, a far cry from the hundreds of thousands that have previously been on offer. He also criticized Epic for giving console and PC players the same prize pool, even though he believes PC is the more competitive platform. wait why does pc have same prize money as xbox\/ps4? what the actual fuck bro????????? pic.twitter.com\/PZCcgRt24K \u2014 benjyfishy (@benjyfishy) December 9, 2019 console players are no where near as competitive as people on pc, its just impossible to be as good on 60 fps and max settings, pc should be getting more money \u2014 benjyfishy (@benjyfishy) December 9, 2019 \u201cConsole players are nowhere near as competitive as people on PC,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just impossible to be as good on 60 FPS and max settings. PC should be getting more money.\u201d The $15 million Fortnite Winter Royale will be running on across December 20 to 22, with prizes given to the best 1000 players on each platform on each day.
