xQc gives scalding opinion on the state of Fortnite esports Blizzard \/ Epic GamesPopular streamer and Overwatch pro F\u00e9lix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel has spoken out on the current state of Fortnite\u2019s esports scene \u2013 and he had a scorching take on the competition. xQc addressed the current debate as to Fortnite\u2019s skill gap during a livestream of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on January 4, where he claimed that the game was never meant to be competitive, in the first place. \u201cDude, the game was never meant to be competitive,\u201d he argued. \u201cEver. The game is literally designed for children, and has no competitive value in any sense, ever.\u201d xQc went on to address Epic Game\u2019s stance on the issue, claiming that the company cares more about the money made from their esports initiative rather than the competitive community behind it. \u201cThe only reason there\u2019s a competitive scene is because they [Epic] can make money off of it, but they don\u2019t give a fuck about it,\u201d he continued. \u201c\u2026they\u2019re catering to their audience. It\u2019s getting easier. The game was easy to begin with.\u201d xQc isn\u2019t the first to have spoken out about the state of esports within the Fortnite scene, either; Epic\u2019s implementation of the \u2018BoomBox\u2019 item the day of $100k WSOE 3 saw mass outrage across the community, with the likes of Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins, Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop, and other personalities decrying the decision. Epic has a history of introducing game-breaking items ahead of massive tournaments, to boot; the company revealed the highly controversial \u2018Infinity Blade\u2019 item ahead of their Winter Royale series in early December, vaulting the weapon shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
