NRG\u2019s Clix claims he\u2019ll stop hating on Fortnite but fans aren\u2019t convinced Epic Games \/ Instagram: clixCody \u2018Clix\u2019 Conrod \u2014 professional Fortnite player and member of NRG Esports \u2014 shared with his fans that he\u2019s taking a different approach to Epic\u2019s battle royale in Season 6 and will try to avoid toxicity as he reforms his behavior. The professional Fortnite community is notoriously relentless when it comes to issues with the game. Many pro players have spoken out against Epic\u2019s balancing of the game\u2019s meta, and even lackluster prize pools that removed motivation for many players to even compete. Prominent pro player Clix has been someone who\u2019s never shied away from being an outspoken critic, although Season 6 is the perfect time to look on the bright side, which is exactly what he plans to do. On March 19, the NRG player tweeted out \u201c[I\u2019m] reforming, no more toxicity. I love Fortnite and Donald Mustard,\u201d referring to Epic\u2019s ever-present Chief Creative Officer, someone who he\u2019s had issues with in the past (see below). Clix followed up with another positive statement a few hours later: \u201cI\u2019m so f**king happy, I can\u2019t wait till arena resets, the f**king content is going to be insane.\u201d Overall, it\u2019s a positive turn of attitude from the NRG star, after he recently tweeted out that he has \u201clegit no motivation to play this game.\u201d While the sentiments expressed in his tweets were good, the Fortnite community wasn\u2019t sure what to make of his message. Many fans speculated that Clix was seeking to gain favor with Epic so they would coordinate with him to organize his very own \u2018Clix Cup\u2019 tournament. Others joked that he was somehow being coerced into making the statement: \u201cAre you sure you\u2019re not being forced to say this? Blink twice next stream if you need help!\u201d The skepticism from the community isn\u2019t without merit. In February, he publicly insulted Mustard on Twitter after the Epic CCO tweeted himself attending Super Bowl LV. The community was highly critical of interaction, many calling the pro out for his words. The fuck is this? How is it funny? this is why epic should’ve NEVER allowed -18 players in comp.. pic.twitter.com\/Sv2Y1eqHg4 \u2014 HYPEX (@itsRealHYPEX) February 8, 2021 With the release of Chapter 2 Season 6, there is plenty for Clix to be excited about in the competitive scene. Coming off a 5th place finish in the Season 5 FNCS Grand Finals (and an $18k payout), he certainly seems motivated to prepare for the next round of competition.
