0s | What's up Fortnite fam, Vivid here! |
---|---|
2s | And this week as we head into grand finals, |
5s | we're going to bust out our microscopes |
7s | and take a look at the anatomy of an FNCS champion. |
11s | The first topic we have on the operating table, is being contested. |
15s | It's no secret that whether or not a team is |
17s | contested has a huge impact on the teams performance. |
21s | Consider this for a second. |
22s | Not a single FNCS champion in NA or EU |
25s | has ever been contested in more than half of their games. |
29s | In chapter three Season two Merstach & Malibuca set the record |
33s | for the best finish by a contested team when they placed fourth overall. |
37s | Throughout the three weekly finals this season, we've seen time and again |
41s | the value of being uncontested at your drop spot. |
45s | In the 108 games played in weeks 1 to 3, across the six |
48s | regions, only 31% were won by contested teams. |
53s | The proof is in the pudding. |
55s | If you want to behold the axe of champions, |
57s | it's probably best to find a spot on the map |
59s | where you can safely loot without going toe to toe with another duo. |
63s | And if you can't, we'd suggest sticking close by to your teammates just in case. |
68s | Another vital component of past FNCS |
70s | champs is their ability to consistently navigate their way into the late |
74s | game to make sure that they can secure those placement points. |
76s | One of the most important aspects when evaluating a team's potential |
80s | is their ability to perform consistently in games and get those top placements. |
84s | However, doing it just once isn't enough. |
86s | If you want to be crowned FNCS champs, as each of the most recent FNCS |
90s | champions have averaged |
91s | at least two games where they placed top five during weekly stages. |
96s | Their tenacity and consistent results under pressure are clearly key |
99s | ingredients for success. |
101s | Teams this season have set the bar high as an average of 16 teams across the EU |
105s | and NA met this consistency criteria, including Vadeal and MrSavage. |
110s | And Eomzo and Rise, |
112s | setting up for what promises to be an exciting grand finals weekend. |
116s | But the lifeblood of an FNCS champion, |
119s | The very heartbeat, is the eliminations. |
123s | Teams hoping to be crowned FNCS champion have to be able to frag. |
126s | Each of our three most recent FNCS champs were able to do just that |
130s | as they all had at least one week with more than 20 eliminations. |
134s | We've seen 27 different teams, an average of roughly four per week across |
138s | both EU and North America, able to actually hit this benchmark, proving |
142s | that the best players will always push for the most important elims. |
145s | Acorn & Cold took it even further |
148s | as the only duo in either region to eclipse 30 eliminations. |
152s | As we head in the Grand Finals, I'm |
153s | looking forward to seeing even more pop up performances from our major two duos. |
157s | We'll have to wait to find out. |
159s | But if there's one thing for certain as we head into Chapter four, Season |
162s | two grand finals is that we should all brace |
165s | for chaos. |
