Tfue and his squad have faced some hardships in recent weeks, with stream snipers and the like running rampant and affecting their games. This is nothing new to the Fortnite star but is definitely detrimental when trying to qualify for a tournament. However, being contested at their Steamy Stacks drop has inspired Tfue to call out his opponents \u2013 but they\u2019ve now hit back and accused him of starting a witch hunt against them. Fortnite player BlastaMastaa took to Reddit late on Sunday, November 24 following the Fortnite Championship Series squads tournament in which he and his teammates \u2013 Dogo, Mojo, and Luminosity Gaming\u2019s Neferux. Tfue\u2019s call to action to his viewers, telling them to tweet LG owner Steve Maida and prompt him to drop Neferux from the organization, made Blasta question how a player can \u201cget away with this on such a big platform.\u201d He explains, \u201cMy squad has been going Steamy for four weeks now. We\u2019re already qualified on consistency and have to use this tournament basically as practice. We want to know exactly how well we play the drop going into heats and where we can improve. There isn\u2019t an open spot for every team on the map, being contested\/contesting is part of the game.\u201d It\u2019s clear to see why both parties might be annoyed: to Tfue, Cloakzy, and co., it seems like this squad is purposely trying to ruin their tournament and make it harder for them. On the other hand, the Reddit post makes several good points. It\u2019s not possible for every team to land at a different spot on the map as it simply isn\u2019t big enough, so other teams landing on your drop is as good as inevitable. In the past, many top players have expressed their annoyance at opposition landing at the same spot as them: one notable example was Team SoloMid\u2019s ZexRow, who took aim at another player because of his contesting of ZexRow\u2019s spot. How this works out down the line remains to be seen. Whether the young squad bows to pressure and stops dropping at Steamy Stacks is a question for next week. In the meantime, it seems we\u2019re more likely to see something happen within Tfue\u2019s squad, which appears to be struggling to play together if that night\u2019s arguments are anything to go by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pro player accuses Tfue of \u201cwitch hunt\u201d after Fortnite tournament drama A professional Fortnite player has accused popular streamer and pro player Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney of forming a witch hunt against him and his teammates following a dramatic stream on November 24.
