In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS & Xbox One) a player did everything right and shot almost a third of all opponents. But at the last enemy, he overdid it and thus threw away the epic victory!
What happened? Teeqzy is a professional Fortnite player who plays for the French team Millennium. He is really good, and when he is on the way, kills rain down on his account. Therefore, he had an impressive 30 kills in one match! This is almost a third of all players in a round that he took down by himself!
At the end of the round, there was only one opponent left, and the safe zone was extremely small. Teeqzy only had to deal with the last enemy, and then a truly epic victory would have been his.
Only one opponent left!
The opponent is trapped! Luckily for Teeqzy, his last opponent didn’t seem to be particularly skilled. He had barricaded himself in a tiny hut and had no escape. Instead of simply taking him out, Teeqzy wanted to celebrate his last kill in a particularly nasty way.
A really nasty trap! He simply opened the door, placed a trap on the ground, and closed it again. You can hardly execute a kill in a meaner and more malicious way. The ground trap regularly deals damage, and without an escape route, it means a painful end for the victim in that cramped space.
Too early to rejoice!
Unfortunately, the “victim” did not want to be one and defended itself. Teeqzy’s opponent still had a decent amount of hitpoints and survived the first damage spikes of the trap. Teeqzy was still in front of the door, dancing joyfully his victory dance, when the supposedly doomed opponent suddenly peeked out and hit Teeqzy with a volley from his weapon.
The surprised pro wanted to jump away but was caught and thus threw away the victory in a ridiculous way.
So always remember: In Fortnite, you only win when the last opponent is really dead!
Traps are not what they used to be in Fortnite:
Have you ever experienced a situation where you threw away a sure victory due to overconfidence or foolishness?
