The Twitch streamer Nick “NICKMERCS” Kolcheff (29) thinks that the younger generation of Fortnite professionals is too spoiled. They want more Fortnite tournaments and always higher prize pools.
Here is the situation: The Twitch streamer NICKMERCS talked in his stream about the younger generation of Fortnite professionals after a new tournament was announced.
Although he is only 29 years old, he started his career as a professional gamer many years ago. Now he seems to know “better” than the younger professionals.
The young Fortnite professionals don’t know anything else
What does the Twitch streamer think about the new generation? He believes these “kids” are simply too spoiled. However, they are not really to blame because they don’t know anything else.
“You can’t really be angry. These kids just don’t know any better. They know nothing else.”

They would only play for millions of dollars at the start of their tournament careers. Even for the Fortnite World Championship, Epic provided a huge prize pool.
They have no idea how it was in the past since they only know Fortnite and how things work there. They have never had to play for “scraps”.
This opinion seems to be shared by pro Ninja. He also complained about the younger generation:
Are the young professionals justified in their complaints?
Why are the young professionals complaining about the Fortnite tournaments? There has been relatively little going on in the competitive scene of Fortnite since the Fortnite World Championship.
There have been a few “smaller” tournaments where you couldn’t win a big prize.
This could be a problem for Fortnite professionals as they earn their money from these tournaments. Especially less well-known professionals or those who stream additionally depend on these tournaments.
This is not the first time that younger professionals have complained about the prize money of Fortnite tournaments.
The young Fortnite professionals Benjyfishy and Mongraal complained about the prize money of the Winter Royale tournament. They wanted more money than console players.
Epic has now announced the next big tournament
Professionals can be excited because the Fortnite Championship tournament was announced by Epic Games on March 9.
The duo tournament will take place on March 20, 2020. The tournament will be divided into two categories:
- PC players tournament
- Console and mobile tournament
In this YouTube video from Fortnite, all the details about the FNCS are explained:
Will this tournament bring the desired momentum back to the competitive Fortnite scene?
