Top 10 players who didn\u2019t qualify for the Fortnite World Cup \u2013 Ninja, Cloak, Chap and more Ten weeks of intense online open qualifiers for the Fortnite World Cup are finally over, with many notable names failing to qualify, but who were the best players to miss out? Despite offering $40 million in prize money for the finals and qualifiers, Epic Games have been heavily criticized by many professional players over the course of the ten weeks due to the format of the qualifiers as well as numerous bugs impacting their matches. Currently, eliminations can be worth just as much as securing a victory royale, leading to players playing extremely aggressive rather than holding out for the win \u2013 a format which Ghost Gaming\u2019s Timothy \u2018Bizzle\u2019 Miller described as \u201ca joke\u201d. Nevertheless, the finalists for the World Cup have been confirmed for both the duo and solo event with many star names missing from the list. Below are the top ten players who failed to book their ticket. Ninja Team: Free agent Region: NA East Despite coming late to the Fortnite competitive scene, Twitch superstar Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has performed admirably in recent weeks alongside his duo partner Malachi \u2018Reverse2k\u2019 Grenier. The former Halo pro has proven he can compete with the very best, missing out on qualification by just two points in week six. Ninja did confirm that will be attending the finals despite not securing his place on the main stage. Poach Team: Team Liquid Region: NA East Another major surprise was the performances of Team Liquid\u2019s Jake \u2018Poach\u2019 Brumleve \u2013 the second highest earner in Fortnite history in miss out on qualification. Despite placing well during the Summer Skirmish series, Poach has struggled to adapt to the new meta. He stated on Twitter he would be changing up his key binds in order to improve his showings in future events. Chap Team: Team Liquid Region: NA East Despite switching up teammates to partner with Poach, Liquid\u2019s Ryan \u2018Chap\u2019 Chaplo was unable to secure a qualification spot in either solo or duos. The 24-year-old has been vocal in his displeasure with the current meta, which has undoubtedly affected his performances as he has played nowhere near his potential. 72hrs Team: Team Liquid Region: NA East Fan favorite Thomas \u201872hrs\u2019 Mulligan will also not be in contention after failing to qualify alongside his new duo partner Noah \u2018Vivid\u2019 Wright. Although the pair performed well, they were unable to secure the last few points needed to jump up in the standings. Fans were devastated to see the duo hit with a four-minute queue during their final games in week ten, which ultimately cost them a final chance to qualify. Cloak Team: FaZe Clan Region: NA East Unfortunately, Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney won\u2019t be joined in New York with long-term friend and teammate Dennis \u2018Cloak\u2019 Lepore after they narrowly missed out on qualification on numerous occasions. Despite changing their drop spot on multiple times, the TwitchCon winners couldn\u2019t put it all together meaning Cloak is the highest earning Fortnite star who won\u2019t be at the World Cup. Symfuhny Team: NRG Region: NA East NRG Esport star Mason \u2018Symfuhny\u2019 Lanier also missed out on qualification after experimenting with various duo partners over the course of the ten weeks. Nevertheless, the 20-year-old has a massive following on Twitch with plenty of fans tuning in to watch his viewing parties. NICKMERCS Team: FaZe Clan Region: NA West\/NA East FaZe Clan\u2019s Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff won\u2019t be flying the flag for controller players in New York despite performing extremely well alongside his duo partner Nio Rooch. The former 100 Thieves member laughed off suggestions he couldn\u2019t compete with the top Fortnite players, stating his intentions to return for the upcoming trio tournament. Dmo Team: Ghost Gaming Region: NA East Due to the fierce competition in the NAE region, Ghost Gaming\u2019s Dylan \u2018Dmo\u2019 Moore missed out on qualification even though he was considered one of the favorites for the entire tournament alongside his teammate Bizzle. Ranking #14 in the list of all-time highest earners, it was a shock to see the American struggle. SypherPK Team: Luminosity Region: NA West Popular Twitch streamer Ali \u2018SypherPK\u2019 Hassan couldn\u2019t overcome his connection issues to secure qualification against all the odds. The Luminosity star frequently played his qualifying games with a ping over 50 which seriously hindered his chances of performing well. Kamo Team: Ghost Gaming Region: EU A major surprise in the EU region was the performance of Ghost Gaming star Liam \u2018Kamo\u2019 Fillery \u2013 who was considered one of the top duos alongside his teammate Issa \u2018Issa\u2019 Rahim. The pair\u2019s practice was impeded by an injury to Issa\u2019s hand which almost certainly cost them a chance at qualification. When is the Fortnite World Cup? The Fortnite World Cup takes place July 26-28 in New York City, New York. 100 players will battle it out to win their share of $30 million, with the solo winner walking away from the event with $3 million in prize money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
