TSM\u2019s Daequan explains why he quit competitive Fortnite TSM \/ Epic GamesPopular member of Team SoloMid\u2019s content creation team Daequan has given insight into his decision to quit playing Fortnite Battle Royale competitively. When Fortnite began gaining massive prominence back in early 2018, Daequan was one of numerous streamers to jump on the wagon, gaining equally massive growth on his content channels and social media pages as a result. As one of TSM\u2019s original four pros, he established himself as a top competitive player in the game early on, consistently participating in both Epic Games-sanctioned events and KEEMSTAR\u2019s weekly Friday Fortnite tournaments. However, as the competitive scene grew larger and larger by the month, Daequan\u2019s presence grew more and more faint, and soon enough, he was no longer an active member of the comp community. With many still wondering why someone with such potential and ability decided to quit competing in the popular battle royale, he\u2019s now opened up about his decision to step away. Daequan himself initiated a discussion on Twitter on August 22, when he tweeted \u201cCan\u2019t wait for this battle royale and RNG game craze to be over.\u201d This led to some commenting negative things on his tweet, claiming that the real reason he was displeased was because he was no longer a top player in the game.

I prefer enjoying my life rather than complaining from the time I wake up until I go to sleep, like almost every other pro Fortnite player, because it\u2019s trash.\u201d His streaming career is definitely not buried, exemplified by the 81,000+ viewers he pulled in his eventful return stream on August 9. But judging by his comments, it looks extremely unlikely that we\u2019ll ever see the TSM star in a competitive match again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
