Fortnite’s World Cup was Cool, But…

by devaccess



So by now, we’ve all heard about it. Bugha, a 16-year-old kid, won three million dollars at the Fortnite World Cup this weekend.

Your friends that don’t even play video games, your brother, even your mom is texting you, asking you about it.

With Bugha winning life-changing money, before he even graduates high school, we couldn’t help but ask ourselves:

Who is this kid?

The fact that we ask that, is a massive problem.

You clearly haven't paid attention much to comp Fortnite if you don't know many of the players lmao.

The fact that we ask that, is NOT a massive problem. You are not able to tell me the n°1 in darts competitions, so why should we know your n°1? Every sport/esport has its own community, you don't have to know them all.

I think it's not only a massive problem that none of the actually best players were know, but that the barrier of entry was so low, age wise. Sure, you can bring up the argument that an age barrier might dilute the competition and that's a fair point towards the integrity of that eSport. However the age barrier of 13 encourages kids to become a Fortnite Pro not before graduating High School, but before graduating Middle School. I think a Fortnite League is great way to ensure the wellbeing of these athletes since the restrictions would have to be much higher and organizations would be forced to commit more to their athletes in terms of all around education and health.

to be honest, I didn't even know people took fortnite seriously. As much as I despise it, I support it's competitive scene because it would be hypocritical since i hated the people that said esports is not a thing

If you heard bugha's name once when he qualified and then didnt hear his name until he won the world cup then you arent as into the fortnite esports scene as you claim to be. Everyone knew how mechanically insane this guy was wayy before the world cup finals.

Fortnite esports has a bad start. They should fix it or else instead of improving you'll see your players deteriorating. High pressure gaming puts stress not only on the brain but it takes toll on the body too.

Don’t fucking compare some shitty fortnite players to people who actually put real time into a good game like counter strike and league. No battle royale compares competitively to those 2

I'm trying to get my fiance's 11 year old son to start practicing. He's been playing Fortnite for awhile on his Switch. He's also playing Team Fortress 2 but I don't think that game will ever be an esport.
