Tfue reveals why Fortnite World Cup will be his last competitive event Tfue \/ InstagramFaZe Clan member Turner \u2018Tfue\u2018 Tenney has revealed that following the Fortnite World Cup, he will be stepping away from competitive play, explaining why on his April 13 stream. Fortnite World Cup qualifiers begin The qualifiers for the $30 million World Cup began on April 13, as players aim to secure a spot at the New York finals in Summer, which boasts a remarkable prize pool that covers both solo and duo matches. For the winners of the solo tournament, they will walk away with $3 million \u2013 the biggest amount ever for a single player at an esports tournament \u2013 and Tfue is certainly among the hopefuls. Tfue quitting competitive Fortnite There is also a duos event, and Tfue will be teaming up with his FaZe partner Dennis \u2018Cloak\u2018 Lepore for that portion of the World Cup, but after that, he says, he\u2019s done. The reason for his decision may not come as a surprise to some, as he previously missed out on the IEM Katowice Royale tournament to choose streaming instead. \u201cThis is my last competitive shit, the World Cup,\u201d Tfue stated, \u201cI\u2019m not going to qualify anyways so shouldn\u2019t even be playing this shit [the qualifiers] anyway. But I don\u2019t care, I don\u2019t need the money anyway. I\u2019m just playing it for fun.\u201d He went on to say that he probably could \u201cdo well\u201d in the qualifiers, but explains he would rather \u201cstream and do badly, than not stream.\u201d Streaming his qualifying matches, with no delay either, leaves Tfue open to the threat of \u2018stream snipers\u2019 \u2013 players deliberately targeting him in-game, knowing his exact position through his stream. Still, in his first day of matches, he racked up 61 points \u2013 including an incredible 1 HP clutch too. Tfue\u2019s exit from competitive Fortnite could be a hit for the esport in general, as he is comfortably the best known professional player. He is also currently the second highest earning player in terms of prize money, behind only Ghost Gaming\u2019s Timothy \u2018Bizzle\u2019 Miller. Epic Games will be aware of the dilemma they have in keeping popular streamers motivated to play in competitive events, which obviously take time away from them streaming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
