ZexRow\/ESLThe Fortnite ESL Katowice Royale event operated with plenty of controversy as player\u2019s encountered problem after problem in-game. However, one point that stuck out was the beef between Team SoloMid\u2019s Anthony \u2018ZexRow\u2019 Colandro and Jeong \u2018Aimhero_o\u2019 Hyun-chul of OP Gaming over landing spots. ZexRow, playing alongside his partner Vinny1x, led the Duos portion of the event after the first day and headed into day two with a hefty points lead. However, the TSM pair, widely recognized as one of the best in the world, were immediately under fire from the Korean squad of AimHero and his partner Park \u2018FaxFox\u2019 Sung-Bin as they began heading to the same landing as the North American team, Viking Village, where they had been alone for the prior games. After going back-and-forth for the majority of the second day over the spot, the TSM boys eventually lost their top spot and fell down the standings. In since-deleted tweets, ZexRow accused the Korean team of \u2018griefing\u2019 for contesting his squad\u2019s main landing spot. The Korean also received some hate from fans for continuing to test ZexRow and his partner Vinny. He used Twitter to explain his team\u2019s thinking, dropping at Viking Village because of how free the TSM pair had the area \u2013 not that they were griefing or any of the other accusations thrown their way. I acted strategically, and I don&#8217;t know why you upset, but we just admitted we lost and acted to win. If you have a problem with this and you really think so, I apologize.@TSM_ZexRow \u2014 AimHero_o(\uc5d0\uc784\ud788\uc5b4\ub85c) (@AimHero_o) March 3, 2019 In a further since-deleted tweet, ZexRow did step in to tell his fans to stop being \u2018toxic\u2019 towards Aimhero, while jokingly stating that he was the only one allowed to be \u2018toxic\u2019 with the situation. After receiving further tweets about what had happened, Aimhero later stated that he had studied TSM while rising through the ranks of professional Fortnite, and had no intention to grief them. I studied with Tsm Clan the first time I played this game, and I don&#8217;t have any ill feelings for them. #TSMWIN @TOPWIN \u2014 AimHero_o(\uc5d0\uc784\ud788\uc5b4\ub85c) (@AimHero_o) March 3, 2019 ZexRow has since apologized for his outburst that had caused the Korean pro to receive an large amount of criticism from fans of the player and the organization he represents. He tweeted: \u201cOk, so obviously I took it to far and got way too upset but you guys would understand if you were in my position. \u201cI just need to stop making impulsive tweets so don\u2019t expect any more drama.\u201d Ok so obviously I took it to far and got way too upset but you guys would understand if you were in my position\u2026 I just need to stop making impulsive tweets so don\u2019t expect anymore drama :smiley: \u2014 ZexRow (@TSM_ZexRow) March 4, 2019 A number of pros also weighed in on the drama by speaking out about the idea of players \u2018owning\u2019 a certain landing spot. Counter Logic Gaming\u2019s Nick \u2018Marksman\u2019 Overtown tweeted that he had contested Team Liquid\u2019s Noah \u2018Vivid\u2019 Wright at Junk Junction in an earlier event, but apologized for doing so. However, his apology was in vain as Vivid explained that he, or anybody, doesn\u2019t \u2018own\u2019 a landing spot because it\u2019s a battle royale game. Seeing some drama about &#8220;&#8221;owning&#8221;&#8221; landing spots Little story: I felt bad contesting @VividFN at Junk in the SS and I apologized to him after the games. He told me to never apologize for landing with him or others. He doesn&#8217;t own that spot. No one can.Nothing is free in a BR. \u2014 CLG Marksman (@Marksman) March 3, 2019 Team Liquid\u2019s Jake \u2018Poach\u2019 Brumleve replied to that tweet, stating: \u201cThere is no such thing as owning a spot. However, earning a spot is. Learning when to leave\/try something new is important. Otherwise, you are just ruining each other\u2019s games.\u201d There is no such thing as owning a spot. However earning a spot is, learning when to leave\/ try something new is important. Otherwise you are just ruining each other&#8217;s games. \u2014 POACH (@LiquidPoach) March 3, 2019 ZexRow may have since apologized to his fellow pro, but the battle over landing spots is sure to continue into the next Fortnite events \u2013 especially the highly lucrative World Cup. Wheter or not Epic Games steps in to make a ruling on the early gameplay in competitive Fortnite remains to be seen. However, pros could always go the Call of Duty route and make gentlemen agreements on who will land where and whatnot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why was TSM ZexRow so angry with Aimhero_o at ESL Katowice Royale?
