Tfue slams battle royale esports amid controversial Fortnite World Cup qualifiers L: FaZe Clan\/R: Reddit u\/FifaDKFaZe Clan\u2019s Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney has revealed that he is \u201cglad\u201d he does not have to compete in this week\u2019s Fortnite Battle Royale World Cup Qualifiers, after explaining that he thinks battle royale games are \u201cshit esports\u201d. There has long been debate about the validity of battle royales as an esport, given the inherent \u2018luck\u2019 aspect regarding the loot players find, the movement of the storm and so on. Popular streamers such as shroud and xQc have been critical of the nature of competitive Fortnite Battle Royale; particularly players\u2019 tendencies to play very defensively. Battle Royale Games have always been dawgshit for competitive what\u2019s new? \u2014 Tfue (@TTfue) May 10, 2019 Tfue is one of the community\u2019s most outspoken and respected figures, often sharing his opinion on updates and controversies. Now, though, he has criticized the esport in which he competes, in a series of tweets from May 10 and 11. \u201cBattle Royale Games have always been dawgshit for competitive what\u2019s new?\u201d he asked. Criticism has particularly centered on how the final circle in many competitive games has so many players left, leaving a victory more up to luck than anything else. In response to a tweet asking if he was doing the \u201ccomplain challenge\u201d, Tfue stated that he loves battle royale esports even though he accepts that they\u2019ve always been \u201cdawg shit\u201d. He went on to tweet that he \u201cfeels bad\u201d for fellow professional players who are still trying to qualify for the World Cup. Tfue qualified for the World Cup after finishing first in Week 3 of the NA\u2019s East Coast division, so he no longer has to compete for the solo tournament. On May 11, Epic Games tweeted that a new issue with vehicles, which prevents players from being able to leave them, means that all vehicles will be disabled in this weekend\u2019s tournaments. This issue, paired with the ongoing complaints surrounding Fortnite Battle Royale as a competitive game, prompted Tfue to state that he was \u201cso glad\u201d he was not playing this weekend. I feel bad for players trying to qualify this week good luck :raised_hands::skin-tone-2: \u2014 Tfue (@TTfue) May 11, 2019 Tfue has since stated that the World Cup will be his final competitive event, as he favours streaming. Epic Games have come under fire of late after making significant changes to their game in the middle of World Cup Qualifiers. These changes include removing the pump shotgun from the game entirely, leading to a huge meta-change at a key point in the game\u2019s lifespan. Popular players such as TimTheTatman and Ninja tweeted that they were struggling to adjust to the game without the pump shotgun. Tfue, though, has a lot more time to adjust, as he is only participating in the duos qualifiers until the tournament takes place in July of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
