Twitch star Turner “Tfue” Tenney is considered one of the best Fortnite players in the world. What tips does he have for players who want to improve in Fortnite? It’s about ping, controls, and the right controller settings between “linear” and “legacy.”
Who is Tfue? Tfue is 22 and currently the biggest Twitch streamer in the world. He has 7.4 million followers on the streaming platform, and he achieved this number almost exclusively with Fortnite.
Unlike most “big Fortnite streamers” who are pure entertainers, Tfue is quite a serious player. He was able to qualify for the World Championship in 2019, although he didn’t play a major role there.
Tfue is considered an ambitious and aggressive player who entertains his fans with Fortnite and makes it clear to everyone how “dogshit” his opponents were.
Fortnite – not a game for old men
These are Tfue’s tips for Fortnite: In a recent Twitch stream, Tfue was asked by a fan with a $20 donation how to improve in Fortnite and reach the next level.
Tfue gave the following tips:
- if you don’t have a low ping, you should move
- if you play with mouse and keyboard, you should switch to controller
- practice a lot
- if you play with the “linear” controller setting and can’t jump into the opponents’ boxes, you should switch to “legacy”
- if you’re older than 18, you should drink a lot of caffeine and inject stem cells into your eyes – that’s the only way to keep up
Here’s the deal: Tfue is his usual cheeky and ironic self, but these are topics that constantly occupy him in Fortnite: “ping” and “aim assist on controllers” are the two issues that Tfue as a PC player in Florida has always been upset about.
Professionals believe that the ping in Fortnite is crucial for the maneuver “taking over the wall”. In this maneuver, you break down an outer wall of the opponent and quickly replace it with your own. Then you can edit a window into this wall to fire at the opponent and close the wall again. This is important because players at a high level often wall themselves in a “box” made of 4 walls and a roof that must be cracked.
“Taking over the wall” is among the high-level maneuvers of professionals – it’s about who raises a wall first after the old wall has been broken down. The ping can be crucial here. Tfue was so obsessed with his “high” ping in Florida and the disadvantages he seemingly had that he even moved to New Jersey. However, it didn’t help much.
The debate about the aim assist, which gives controller players such an advantage on PC, is a never-ending topic in Fortnite. A nerf is expected. The combination of aim assist and high FPS is the problem, says Ninja:
