Pro Fortnite players aren\u2019t happy about the latest update in Fortnite ahead of $2.6 million event at TwitchCon [UPDATED] UPDATE (October 25, 2018, 6pm ET) In response to feedback from the competitive Fortnite community, Epic Games has announced that many features that players were unhappy over from the V6.20 update have been disabled for TwitchCon\u2019s Fall Skirmish event this weekend. In an email sent out to TwitchCon competitors, Epic stated that Cube Monsters, Port-A-Fortress, Port-A-Fort, and Shockwave Grenades will all be disabled. They have also made adjustments to shadow post processing to give players better visibility in game. Fortnitemares 2018 is upon us and despite bringing a host of changes to shake up the Fortnite meta, many pro players are expressing their displeasure with the update. Epic Games released the V6.20 update on October 24, and while it signaled the start of the anticipated Fortnitemares event, the widespread changes have upset a large number of pro players. The changes alone may not have been enough to provoke much outrage, but with the $1.86 million TwitchCon Fall Skirmish finale and $750K Stream-vitational tournament both coming up in just a few days, players are frustrated at having such large-scale changes being put in place. Two of Team Liquid\u2019s most prominent players expressed their frustrations this week, with Ryan \u2018Chap\u2019 Chaplo saying he wouldn\u2019t stream until after TwitchCon since he needs \u201cto relearn the game,\u201d while Jake \u2018Poach\u2019 Brumleve went on an extended rant on his stream. \u201cA whole new game for $1.5 million,\u201d POACH says to his viewers. \u201cEpic is taking RNG to the whole next level. They\u2019re like \u2018Alright boys, you guys have been playing customs and all these Skirmishes for weeks. For the last tournament of the Fall Skirmish, fuck it. Completely different game. Good luck.\u2019\u201d Much of the outrage from the community is centered around the addition of the Cube Monsters, as the players feel it has completely changed how they must play the game.

I know it\u2019s a \u201climited time event\u201d so it\u2019s only going to be here for this week or 2, but still it shouldn\u2019t be something we\u2019re forced to play untill it\u2019s gone. But I\u2019d play it for fun and challenges if it had it\u2019s own playlist :joyful: \u2014 Dixon :sunflower: (@DareDixon) October 24, 2018 Counter Logic Gaming\u2019s Sam \u2018WishYaLuckk\u2019 Salcedo suggested that Epic Games take a page out of Treyarch\u2019s book and keep zombies confined to specific locations similar to how the undead enemies are handled in Blackout, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4\u2019s battle royale mode. Robert \u2018WizKay\u2019 Simone gave his own two cents on the issue, saying that the custom test games he\u2019s seen have been \u201ca complete and utter shit show.\u201d Read More: How to watch TwitchCon\u2019s Fortnite Fall Skirmish $2.6 million event \u2013 schedule, format, rules, and more – Epic Games has so far been silent on the issue, which could mean there are no plans to reverse the changes and thus the pros will need to practice up to be ready for the brand-new meta at TwitchCon this weekend. This isn\u2019t the only thing that the pros have been upset about, either, as many also expressed their frustration over being forced to use certain peripherals and game settings at the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
