Many Twitch viewers were quite surprised to see that the official account of Fortnite hosted a stream from its competitor CS:GO. They received a lot of mockery for this on Reddit.
What happened? The Fortnite Twitch channel regularly hosts well-known streamers while they play Fortnite. They did the same with World Champion Bugha, who has a large reach on Twitch.
During the Fortnite host, the professional switched games and replaced Epic’s Battle Royale with the competitor CS:GO.
The official Fortnite Twitch channel, with over 2 million followers, then showed a stream of CS:GO. The organizers apparently overlooked it.
Fortnite has to take a lot of mockery
How did the viewers react? On Reddit , the user “qwety9000” shared this moment and received over 6000 upvotes for it. In line with this, there was also a lot of mockery from users.
So “DankeyKang11” writes about the situation: “Finally, Epic hosts a stable competitive scene.” This caused many laughs and numerous users agreed with him.
“ezpzeli” writes ironically: “I mean, at least they support the competition. It’s just not Fortnite’s competition.”
How can such a mistake happen? Bugha has often been hosted by Epic, just like many other streamers. So this is not the first host.
The Fortnite hosts always run at fixed times. The organizers probably did not consider that Bugha would switch games, leading to a rather embarrassing situation for Epic at the end.
How many people were watching? According to Twitch, over 17,000 people were watching Bugha’s stream. Many must have wondered why he was not playing Fortnite.
