The World Cup in Fortnite: Battle Royale has also seen a few losers who had hardly any success. One of them became a bit famous due to his sportsmanship in response to his failure.
Who was the worst player of the World Cup? At the Fortnite World Cup, there were not only winners like winner Bugha and fan favorite King. The New Zealander Sam “Twizz” Pearson, together with his partner CoverH, displayed a remarkably poor performance, finishing at the bottom of the leaderboard with 0 points.
Wrong Tactics, But No Resentment
This was the reaction of the worst player: Instead of throwing a tantrum and cursing the competition, Twizz reacted on Twitter with sportsmanship and humility:
“Yes, we were last.
We screwed up.
We were unprepared.
What I thought made a good player was completely wrong.
No one is to blame but myself.
But you know what?
Now we know that.
We know what we need to change.
We know how we should play.
We know what to expect.
We will not give up.
We will practice.”
This is Twizz’s take on his approach: Twizz believed that he had to play as conservatively and safely as possible to win. However, the opposite was true. Especially aggressive, risk-taking players would have been successful:
“I found that the best players are the ones who constantly seek out fights and win battles. They are confident and aggressive. They do not avoid fights, they seek them out and finish them as quickly as possible.”
A particularly prominent example of this “new” tactic was the young player King, who played so actively and aggressively that it was a joy to watch him.
This was the community’s reaction: Twizz’s honest and humble words were well received by the community:
- “Keep your head up, buddy!”
- “You are still one of the best players in the world!”
- “Dude, you were there, the haters weren’t!”
- “That’s how it goes, turn something negative into something positive!”
This is how other 0-point players reacted: Generally, many reactions from World Cup bottom players were quite humble. For instance, 0-point solo player Herrions reported that he would “live and learn.” And duo winner Aqua, who performed poorly in solo, wryly said, “At least I killed Tfue!”
Why is everyone so upbeat? One reason for the laid-back attitude of the bottom-ranked players could be that each of them still has their $50,000 secured for merely qualifying for the World Cup. Thus, there were practically no real losers.
