In eSports, TSM ZexRow has won a 1vs6 match in Fortnite . The special thing: The opponents were two of the strongest trios in Fortnite. Among them is the Twitch streamer, Turner “Tfue” Tenney, with his partners Cloak and 72hrs. On reddit, this is referred to as the play of the year.
This is the situation: The play took place in the Trios Cash Cup, which the Trio tournament runs during the “Championship Series” of Fortnite. Every weekend, teams of 3 compete here worldwide, belonging to the top tier of Fortnite.
At the beginning of the clip, TSM ZexRow is already alone – his two partners have been taken out. And around him lurk two of the best trios in the USA:
- Turner “Tfue” Tenney, the new number 1 on Twitch, with his partners Cloak and 72hrs – They are currently in 6th place in the trio competition in NA West.
- The second trio consists of Pika, Rhux, and Joel – they are also really strong Fortnite players. They currently hold 11th place in NA-East in the Trio Series.
Pro player remains incredibly calm and controlled
The clip shows: It’s hard to follow the clip because TSM ZexRow acts at high speed.
The clip starts with ZexRow getting a quick snipe on Cloak, causing him to drop to low HP and retreat. Then Tfue and 72hrs attack him, but they never manage to catch ZexRow because he controls the builds.
With quick editing and building, Zexrow can always evade the attacks and choose when to attack the opponent from ambush.
The windows of opportunity for attacks are only open for a few moments. He uses these short windows by delivering shotgun blasts that find their mark and cost the opponents a lot of hit points. Then ZexRow builds again and changes position.
With a sudden attack, he finally manages to take Cloak out up close. The already wounded Tfue goes down next, before ZexRow now takes out 72hrs in a duel.
Due to the special rules that apply in Competitive, ZexRow is back at full health afterwards.
ZexRow nearly wins the fight against the second trio effortlessly. Here he can once again control the fights, seize and maintain the initiative.
While the professionals he previously took down watch him, they are still impressed.
Players call the clip “Play of the Year”
This is how it’s discussed: On reddit, the clip is being discussed. Several users say it must be the “Play of the Year” in Fortnite.
It’s fantastic how ZexRow maintains control and calm in such a difficult situation. He gives the opponents no chance to cooperate but isolates them.
However, the attacking opponents are also criticized. They apparently seem to be in panic because they are low on HP and cannot coordinate their efforts against ZexRow.
This is how the defeated react: Cloak watches TSM_Zexrow for a while as he dismantles the second duo and says: “OMG, this guy is just crapping on those pros.”
Tfue says: “Yeah, ZexRow is cracked, bro.” – Whatever that means.
The new generation of Fortnite professionals
Who is ZexRow? TSM ZexRow belongs to the “young generation” of Fortnite players who have been described as “nerds” by streamer NickMercs. They are young and can build incredibly fast.
With his partner TSM Vinny1x, Zexrow became a finalist in the Fortnite World Championship in Duo, winning $225,000.
ZexRow claims to have been playing shooter games like Call of Duty since he was 6 years old and has developed good aiming skills at a young age, which he later refined in games like Counter-Strike: Source. He had to learn to play in a team then as well. Now with Fortnite, he, like many others, has seized his chance.
ZexRow is part of the organization “Team Solo Mid”, one of the most well-known esports organizations in the world, which built a young Fortnite team back in February 2018.
