Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4 & Xbox One) does not yet have an established eSports league, but several top clans are already competing. Recently, FaZe joined and formed a killer team for Fortnite. In a clip, the pros showcase their skills.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there is still no official eSports league. However, that does not stop prominent top clans from deploying their best players in the vibrant battle royale game.
So far, the pro teams TSM and Method have already formed their own killer teams for Fortnite: Battle Royale. Now, another eSports giant joins: FaZe!
The next super killer team from the eSports scene
FaZe was founded in 2010 and has made a name for itself mainly in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Overwatch. In Blizzard’s hero shooter, the lineup recently reached the finals of the Major Gaming League. In CS:GO, FaZe is also frequently found in the finals, most recently at the “Eleague Major: Boston 2018”.
A team has now also been formed for Fortnite. It consists of the usual team size of four players:
- Dennis “Cloak” Lepore: The team leader is a god with the sniper rifle and can target opponents mid-jump!
- Thomas “72hrs” Mulligan: An excellent sniper
- Thang “SpaceLyon” Phan: A true artist with the shotgun!
- Brendan “Jaomock” O’Brien: Also an extremely deadly shooter
“When the eSports league comes, we are ready!”
It is clear that there is still no established eSports league for Fortnite. But “Cloak” is fighting spirit:
“We want to measure ourselves against other players. We are eagerly waiting for the chance. We can’t wait. When you build it [the eSports league], we will come!”
All team members are extremely excited according to their own statements and are looking forward to their appearance in Fortnite. Those who want to see the performance of the four guys should check out the embedded video here.
Is Fortnite suitable for eSports at all?
Fortnite is extremely popular, and many players are demanding a professional eSports league. Curiously, however, many players also see a problem with eSports in battle royale games like Fortnite.
Due to the high luck factor in the game, a balanced, fair competition would hardly be possible. Due to bad luck with loot or landing, it could easily happen that top players drop out unnecessarily early.
Another problem: Is the midgame in Fortnite too boring because of Tilted Towers?
