Ninja and TimTheTatman discuss lag issues in Fortnite\u2019s Fall Skirmish and why Friday Fortnite was better for spectators Twitter\/@timthetatmanThe Fall Skirmish is the second iteration of Epic Games\u2019 competitive series, with $10 million in total on the line, but Ninja and TimTheTatman think that the lag issues and spectator problems need serious attention. Comparing the Skirmish tournaments to KEEMSTAR\u2019s \u2018Friday Fortnite\u2019 tournaments, they both agreed that from a spectator standpoint, Friday Fortnite is a better format. The Skirmish events are full developer supported and funded, but the use of the \u2018spectator mode\u2019 could be causing the lag problems that plagued the first weekend of the Fall Skirmish. Friday Fortnite tournaments were simply played on regular public servers, whereas the Skirmish event is played on a private server hosted by Epic, but Ninja and Tim don\u2019t think it is as good a spectator experience.

Ninja went on to explain that the only logical explanation for the lag was the use of spectator mode, as the private servers were much more laggy than standard public games. \u201cThe only reason I can think, why it was laggier, was the spectator mode. Because literally, we played six games on this custom server, with 100 people, and the entire time me and Sypher were like this does not feel good.\u201d KEEMSTAR had originally planned to bring back Friday Fortnite events after the conclusion of the Summer Skirmish, but before he could officially announce, Epic revealed the Fall Skirmish, which ruined his plans. The YouTuber and host of Drama Alert has since said that he will look into other possible tournaments, suggesting a \u2018Monday Blackout\u2019 event, for when the upcoming battle royale mode in Black Ops 4 is released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
