TSM\u2019s Myth hits out at Epic for timing of Fortnite Winter Royale qualifier TSM Pro player and popular streamer Ali \u2018Myth\u2019 Kabbani has voiced his frustration with the timing of Fortnite\u2019s \u2018Winter Royale\u2019 open tournament, which boasts a massive $1 million in prizing. The Winter Royale is Fortnite\u2019s first open tournament, where players from around the world can compete by simply playing qualification matches in online public matches. It also serves as qualification for the Fortnite World Cup in 2019, so there is a lot on the line for current and aspiring competitive players \u2013 which is why Myth is so frustrated. The Winter Royale was not only held the weekend of Thanksgiving, but also only announced on the Tuesday November 20, giving players only a matter of days to prepare. Myth, like others, had plans with family over the Thanksgiving holiday, meaning he was heading home to Michigan \u2013 and leaving his setup behind. Myth was happy and complimentary that Epic were \u201cinvesting time and resources into the event system\u201d, but feels that it could have been managed better. On Twitter, he questioned the planning of the event \u201cduring one of the biggest American holidays.\u201d Welp, dinner with my family so I have to stop trying to qualify for a 1 million dollar tournament. Ohh I wonder the thought it would be the brightest idea to plan this shit on one of the biggest American holidays. As @TSM_Daequan would say\u2026 THIS GAME TRAAAAAAASH. \u2014 Myth (@TSM_Myth) November 25, 2018 Playing his first day of qualifying matches on a 60Hz refresh rate monitor, he has set out to purchase a 144Hz monitor to continue his matches while not at home. Myth had even ordered a computer to his family\u2019s home, but it failed to arrive on time, causing yet another set back as he tries to ensure qualification as one of Fortnite\u2019s most recognized pro players. He later apoligized for being so negative, but held firm on his stance that the Winter Royale \u201ccould have been managed better.\u201d Sorry for my latest tweets and how negative they’ve , I just feel like all of this could have been managed better. Other than my ranting I hope everyone has a good time qualifying. LOOOOOOVEEE YAAAA \u2014 Myth (@TSM_Myth) November 25, 2018 Myth wasn\u2019t the only high profile player to run into problems on day one of qualifying either, as FaZe Clan pro Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney was plagued by hackers and stream snipers. The Winter Royale qualification continues over the weekend of November 25 and 26, with all players getting their opportunity to qualify for Fortnite\u2019s biggest event yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
