NICKMERCS hits out at Epic Games over Fortnite FNCS issues Popular Fortnite pro player and FaZe Clan member Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff hit out at Epic Games after a number of glitches marred his team\u2019s participation in the Fortnite Champion Series. Epic Games\u2019 popular battle royale title ran into a number of major issues over the weekend, with a playlist glitch leaving teams uncertain if points they had earned in their first match of the weekend counted, leaving them confused for much of the competition on Saturday, November 9. To make matters worse, NICKMERCS then got booted from a game before they landed, with the game still counting as one of their 10 available games, and wasting so much time that they were unable to queue for their final match of the day. Unsurprisingly, the 28-year-old wasn\u2019t happy, and called out Epic Games over the fact that the game is now two years old, but is still affected by these kinds of issues. \u201cI don\u2019t understand how we\u2019re two years into this game,\u201d the streamer told his chat, \u201cAnd things like this can f**king happen. I really don\u2019t.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m not trying to make it about me, I\u2019m talking on behalf of everyone who had a really good first game, and they just don\u2019t count it. I can\u2019t wrap my head around how that\u2019s fair. It\u2019s a very big competition, with a lot of people putting in a lot of their own time.\u201d NICKMERCS then took his frustrations to Twitter, claiming that he felt it was becoming \u201cvery difficult\u201d to take competitive Fortnite seriously. The FaZe Clan star wrote that this was sad because he loves the game, and \u201chas never been more motivated\u201d to play it. It\u2019s becoming very difficult for me to take competitive @FortniteGame seriously. Which is sad too, because I love the game & I\u2019ve never been more motivated. \u2014 Nickmercs (@NICKMERCS) November 10, 2019 NICKMERCS wasn\u2019t the only player upset at Epic Games\u2019 handling of issues in competitive Fortite, with fellow FaZe member Nate Hill claiming that the developers cost him $200,000, and that they \u201cdon\u2019t care\u201d about pro players. Epic themselves have yet to comment on the frustrations from competitive players, but we\u2019ll be sure to keep you updated when they do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
