Summer Skirmish winner Morgausse explains why Fortnite World Cup Qualifers were \u201crough\u201d Epic GamesProfessional player Austin \u2018Morgausse\u2019 Etue is the latest to criticize the qualification process for the Fortnite World Cup Finals, calling it \u201crough.\u201d Morgausse is one of numerous prominent names in the competitive Fortnite community who aren\u2019t competing in the World Cup, having failed to qualify via any of the ten weeks of qualifier tournaments. Regardless, he decided to attend the $30 million competition as a spectator, and spoke briefly to Dexerto about the several aspects of the qualifiers that he didn\u2019t like. \u201cThe online qualifiers were really rough,\u201d he said. \u201cThere were a lot of things about them that I didn\u2019t like, they made them really hard. For example, you get into random games with 3,000 other people, so your spot could be contested by eight people one game, but the next game, nobody\u2019s there.\u201d \u201cThere\u2019s less predictability overall, it just feels more random,\u201d he went on. \u201cBut I\u2019m confident that they\u2019ll fix the qualifier system for next year.\u201d Discussion begins at 1:13 mark. Summer Skirmish winner @Morgausse_ says #FortniteWorldCup Qualifiers were rough, but is confident Epic Games will fix it.

Each weekend consisted of two days of action \u2013 ten matches played in each region on Saturdays, with those who made the cut qualifying for the next round of ten matches on Sundays. All of the qualifiers were online, meaning that there were other factors that affected outcomes of matches, such as internet connection, ping, lag spikes, server quality, among others. While it is expected that many of those who didn\u2019t qualify for the World Cup Finals would take shots at the qualification process, Morgausse is not your average, run-of-the-mill competitive player. He placed first at the finals of the Summer Skirmish last summer, going from a relatively unknown player to the winner of the biggest prize haul in Fortnite esports at the time, which was $250,000. So when he and star players like Cloak, Poach, NICKMERCS and many others do not qualify, there could be some actual substance behind what Morgausse is saying, and Epic may need to look at their qualification system moving forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
