Tfue rages at how much lag ruins Fortnite: \u201cThis game is so dumb\u201d With the $30m World Cup fast approaching, Twitch star Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney labelled Fortnite \u201cso dumb\u201d after experiencing one of the biggest issues Epic Games currently face. Qualifiers for the event \u2013 which will be the largest tournament prize pool in the history of esports \u2013 ended last week with many notable names missing out on a qualification spot including Team Liquid\u2019s Ryan \u2018Chap\u2019 Chaplo and former FaZe member Dennis \u2018Cloak\u2019 Lepore. Competitive players noticed a distinct advantage some players had regarding their connection \u2013 finding players with 0 ping were able to win more close quarter engagement. Ping relates to a player\u2019s connection to the server and having lower ping allows players to place their builds before their opponent \u2013 meaning they can \u2018steal\u2019 walls to create opportunities to inflict damage. As a result, Tfue moved his entire setup to boost his chances of qualifying, but was given a reminder of just how much of an annoying playing with increased ping can be while back in his Florida home. After boxing up to fight an enemy, the 21-year-old was holding his wall before his foe replaced it instantly, allowing him to hit a quick pump shot, before replacing it a second time to get the elimination. Tfue expressed his frustration immediately, suggesting the player lived in Pennsylvania \u2013 a state known for its low ping in Fortnite. \u201cCome on Florida ping, stop cucking me,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s from Pennsylvania too \u2013 there\u2019s no way. First try, yoinks my wall, interesting. Second try, yoinks my wall too.\u201d The TwitchCon winner continued his rant, blaming his poor connection for losing the engagement. Tfue said: \u201cThis game is so dumb. It blows your fucking mind. My builds aren\u2019t placing because I live in Florida where my internet is dogshit. Before this dude with 0 ping yoinks all my walls.\u201d The former H1Z1 pro was able to highlight just how effective playing with low ping can be when teaming up with Sentinel\u2019s star Kyle \u2018Bugha\u2019 Giersdorf, a player who benefits from the best connection possible. After multiple attempts to replace an enemy\u2019s floor tile to no avail, Tfue asks Bugha to try instead, and he instantly steals it from his challenger to secure the elimination, much to his teammate\u2019s amusement. Ping is arguably the biggest issue that Epic Games must tackle in terms of competitive Fortnite, but given the complex nature of the problem, a solution that works for everyone will be difficult to find.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
