390s | about yourselves |
392s | yeah so my name is Minnie Miner I do |
394s | content on my own platforms I do |
396s | streaming video creation all on fortnite |
398s | and I've been a part of the fncs |
400s | broadcast for nearly a whole year now so |
402s | working with Zeke for a whole year |
403s | nearly so it's great |
406s | yeah many you so wait what did you do |
409s | like before that I mean because I just |
411s | met you two like knowing you doing the |
413s | fncs stuff but like I don't really know |
414s | much about what you did before this |
417s | yeah I was just sort of uh creating my |
419s | own content so I was doing my own videos |
421s | from a very young age I started when I |
422s | was 14 so just making loads of random |
424s | videos I had my own little radio station |
426s | when I was 10 so I used to just host my |
429s | own little radio shows just you know but |
430s | I didn't post them like nobody cared but |
432s | um I I just had them myself you know do |
435s | my own little videos and uh that then |
436s | sort of came into doing YouTube videos |
438s | doing all different content and then |
440s | fortnite came around 2018 and it was two |
443s | season two chapter one all the way back |
445s | then started playing the game actually |
446s | one of my friends at school was like oh |
448s | mate you gotta play this game it's |
449s | called fortnite it's great I'm enjoying |
451s | it so I was like all right fine yeah |
452s | I'll check it out I'll check it out I'll |
454s | give it a go and uh yeah here we are and |
456s | uh yeah I was just sort of creating |
457s | content doing a lot of streams and um |
460s | yeah then I just got an opportunity with |
461s | with uh with my orc at the time TNA Team |
464s | new age and they were hosting a |
465s | tournament with prac server monster D |
467s | faces uh production company and that was |
470s | my first broadcast so I was able to you |
472s | know do a little bit of broadcasting |
473s | Esports world and here we are today on |
476s | the fncs show and I me can be more |
478s | grateful |
479s | so good I look up to many were like |
481s | Minnie's so good at any what he knows I |
482s | just love it all right how did I get |
485s | here well how did you get here how did |
489s | you get here we all want to know I |
491s | actually so I started streaming on mixer |
493s | I streamed there about like two years |
495s | and um |
497s | then it ended up shutting down and so I |
500s | switched over to Twitch I had to like |
501s | rebuild I don't even have a Twitch |
503s | account so I literally like started |
504s | Switch Account a few years back and |
506s | restarted everything |
508s | um I got this opportunity to go on a |
510s | phase reality show in La so I did that |
513s | for about a month I got like top five um |
515s | I ended up not getting picked but |
518s | um it led to Luminosity picking me up on |
520s | their org and it was just a perfect fit |
522s | it was so amazing so I've been there |
524s | close to a year now uh and I got an |
527s | opportunity hosting with the NFL and |
529s | they do this awesome thing they include |
531s | like fortnite and they play with NFL |
533s | players content creators so hosting that |
535s | was so much fun I felt right in my space |
538s | being with the camera you know just |
540s | talking to people I love to talk if you |
542s | can't tell but anyways so |
544s | um I just was like this is exactly where |
546s | I'm meant to be with this whole |
548s | broadcasting thing and I got an |
550s | opportunity with the fncs because they |
551s | were like well you played fortnite |
552s | forever like you done the broadcasting |
554s | like this would be a perfect fit and I |
556s | was like heck yeah sign me up so I got |
559s | that opportunity it was so fun I did the |
560s | major one for three weeks with all of |
563s | you guys and it was a great time uh |
565s | definitely learned a lot too um with |
567s | like fortnite competitive world but I'm |
570s | so excited to continue to work with all |
572s | of the broadcasting fortnite events and |
576s | things of that nature yeah for sure it |
578s | was great to have you and of course many |
580s | minor it's always great to have you but |
582s | um what do you guys feel like uh let's |
584s | let's talk about this as like a whole |
586s | right like broadcasting is very uh it's |
589s | very difficult and I think it's very |
591s | easy for the outside view looking in to |
594s | us to be like oh yeah you gotta just sit |
596s | there you just talk to fortnite you look |
597s | at a camera and it's easy you should be |
599s | amazing at this it should be no problem |
600s | it's very difficult uh what was like |
602s | maybe like a hurdle for each of you that |
605s | like you felt like you had to get over |
607s | uh initially to kind of like say like |
609s | okay I can kind of be comfortable now |
611s | doing this |
613s | I think for me I played the game for a |
615s | long time so I play the game |
616s | competitively even now so I'm always |
618s | playing all the tournaments and uh sort |
619s | of came from a competitive background |
620s | before I appeared on the show so a lot |
622s | of people would say that they would be |
623s | like the on-camera presence but I |
625s | already had a little bit of experience |
626s | in the past doing that I had a green TV |
628s | production so I'd been involved in a lot |
629s | of Productions in studios before uh for |
632s | different production companies uh you |
633s | know in in the UK and just had that sort |
636s | of presenting experience before so that |
637s | wasn't really too much of an issue but |
638s | for me it was like I played the game |
640s | competitively at like a decent level so |
642s | all the stuff that I knew about the game |
643s | just trying to condense that into some |
645s | thoughts and some words and some phrase |
647s | that I could say was a little bit more |
648s | difficult because when you ask when you |
650s | just have so much in your head that you |
651s | want to say picking out the most |
652s | important bits is is the most important |
654s | part so that for me was the most |
656s | difficult just you know trying to not |
657s | say everything that I know and just |
659s | focus on the bits that actually mattered |
661s | and actually were interesting |
662s | yeah so it's different from me for sure |
665s | so I I am like a very here we go here we |
669s | go |
670s | here we go guys buckle up get ready for |
671s | this I'm a very casual player yes I've |
674s | been playing fortnite forever yes I know |
676s | fortnite understands my net fortnite I |
678s | can play and I've played in um a bunch |
680s | of vote tournaments I played in so many |
683s | tournaments and stuff but just for fun |
684s | never like super competitive just you |
686s | know smiling having a good time so going |
688s | into this I also switch like from my |
691s | role usually I just kind of like do the |
693s | hosty thing but this is analyzing so I |
695s | had to dive deep and learn and |
697s | understand competitive fortnite it is a |
700s | whole another ball game it's a whole |
702s | nother world so having to like really |
704s | learn grow and understand that aspect of |
707s | fortnite was challenging but it's been |
710s | so fun because it's also allowed me to |
712s | explain it better to my community to my |
714s | chat and finding a way to absorb it |
717s | correctly and also try to lay it out to |
720s | somebody that can understand it best |
722s | like if I was listening to it I wanted |
725s | someone to explain it to me like the |
727s | version where I can like on my save |
729s | level where I can understand because |
730s | sometimes I listen like I'm listening to |
732s | all these analysts and I'm like I |
733s | understand it now but Jenny like a few |
736s | weeks back I'm just like wait what did |
738s | they say so that the whole like kind of |
741s | understanding it and trying to bring it |
743s | to the audience in a way that they can |
745s | understand even if they're not in the |
747s | competitive World |
748s | um |
749s | is challenging for sure because again |
751s | like you have to learn it all yet it's a |
753s | whole different thing that you have to |
755s | dive into so that was a challenge but |
757s | I'm very excited because it's continuing |
760s | to grow so much and also I'm able to |
762s | share it with so many people and that |
764s | experience has been like I've gotten a |
766s | lot of good feedback from it |
768s | yeah I think that's that's a that's |
770s | difficult right like because you know |
773s | again it's like people don't realize |
775s | what goes into a broadcast you know you |
776s | just think like oh I'm I'm a high level |
778s | player I watch I play fortnite I'm you |
780s | know this Division and I'm here to watch |
782s | this broadcast watch it first compete |
784s | but man there's there's also people that |
786s | have never watched fortnite that have |
787s | decided oh there's a tournament let me |
789s | let me tune in and see what this is |
790s | about okay maybe maybe I like it maybe I |
792s | don't you know and I think you know |
794s | there there is that line where you know |
796s | kind of what you were saying it's like |
798s | you have so much that you could say but |
799s | you have to think okay I need to say |
801s | something here that will not only speak |
803s | to the competitive players I need to be |
805s | able to say something it also speaks |
806s | like the mid-level players and then even |
808s | players that are brand new that are like |
811s | storm surge what did you just say like |
814s | you know there's so many things that we |
817s | always have to be thinking about |
819s | moment to moment in these broadcasts |
822s | um you know I think it's really funny |
823s | that like both you guys have uh some |
826s | semblance of like a history because like |
828s | when I started guys like I I was I had |
831s | no background at all right in |
833s | broadcasting oh I just walked in one day |
836s | uh back in the days of this other game |
838s | uh epic was making called Paragon and |
839s | they were they were like hey we got this |
841s | tournament coming up but I was like hey |
842s | uh I want to do that I feel like I'd |
844s | have a great time talking about that |
845s | game at a competitive level and they're |
847s | like uh sure and then I was like wait |
851s | what's fortnite and they were like uh |
852s | well I mean you did the other one do you |
854s | want to do this one and I was like I'll |
855s | do some fortnite why not and then here I |
858s | am all this time later uh so yeah |
861s | definitely have the personality for it |
863s | Zeke like you are you are in your exact |
865s | spot you're meant to be |
868s | um you know my secret is just meme |
870s | um just Meme and be goofy at all times |
873s | uh love it and apparently that is what's |
876s | worked for me uh because that's just who |
878s | I am but |
879s | yeah it's uh yeah getting into |
881s | broadcasting is crazy you know there's |
883s | just so much that goes into it and I |
886s | think too |
887s | uh kind of going back I I talked about |
889s | people not knowing you know like what |
891s | it's like for us like guys you know the |
894s | amount of times where you have to like |
896s | walk on set and they have to be like |
898s | okay where's the camera oh that camera |
899s | moves I have to track that camera okay |
901s | we have to talk about these things they |
903s | want us to touch on these Duos yeah |
905s | there's so much |
907s | so much that goes into broadcasting I |
909s | feel like a lot of people don't really |
910s | know about do they Mini no they don't |
913s | and it's the same with you know just any |
915s | fncs show in studio it's it's always got |
917s | that level of you know depth and detail |
920s | that you need to go into especially when |
922s | we talked about before about the the |
923s | vast you know widespread of players that |
926s | there is in the game you know just have |
927s | high level competitive players who are |
929s | watching you have you know the lowest |
930s | level people that are just tuning for |
931s | the first time so uh you know combined |
933s | with all the lights and all the cameras |
934s | and all the people in your ear telling |
936s | you you know you've got a time where you |
937s | haven't got time uh or you know who you |
939s | need to talk about it's just about like |
941s | trying to condense all those thoughts I |
942s | mentioned earlier into something that is |
944s | actually interesting because you know |
945s | most of the time you're just saying the |
947s | the best points that you can so just |
949s | like how can I think about which of |
950s | those points are the best well in that |
951s | environment well you've got hundreds and |
953s | thousands of people watching online uh |
955s | behind that camera you've got people in |
957s | the back all the production crew that |
958s | are watching as well and uh sort of |
960s | watching it all go down but |
962s | for me it's just like that is that that |
964s | is the difference that is the difference |
966s | to me from going like a streaming room |
968s | to to going into a massive Studio like |
969s | that yeah I was gonna say too like |
971s | you're in the comfort of your own home |
972s | when you're streaming it's very chill |
974s | you're very just like okay I do this all |
976s | the time I even in high school like I |
978s | did uh broadcasting I was on like the |
980s | tiger TV it was like a new show for our |
982s | school but I did like all that stuff but |
984s | it was all things that like I was the |
987s | producer and also like doing the show so |
990s | in this sense when in the broadcasting |
992s | world you have somebody like you know |
994s | putting you where you're supposed to go |
996s | like producing it what you're supposed |
997s | to say we're supposed to do all that |
998s | kind of stuff you have like you have say |
1000s | in it like you know obviously you study |
1002s | what you're supposed to do and what |
1003s | you're supposed to say on the players |
1004s | and like you learn so much |
1006s | um but again like too you you're like |
1007s | okay well I'm only gonna have time for |
1009s | this amount I want to make sure I say |
1011s | this this and then they're in there and |
1012s | then they'll talk in your ear like okay |
1014s | go over here Walk This Way or do this or |
1016s | we're gonna we don't have time for that |
1017s | and I'm just like okay just gotta stop |
1019s | into it and like you gotta be ready on |
1021s | your tiptoes like what's next so um I |
1024s | think you definitely it's something that |
1025s | you adapt to and it's not not anybody |
1028s | can just be up there on that stage and I |
1029s | think you know it's some people just |
1032s | think oh yeah like they're just watching |
1033s | it and they're also watching like they |
1035s | don't see rehearsals like there's |
1036s | rehearsals there's practice time goes |
1038s | into it |
1039s | um it does it doesn't just happen like |
1041s | you don't have that high quality show |
1043s | with just like without practice and |
1044s | without |
1045s | um like thorough thoughts into how they |
1048s | want it to be shown to the audience um |
1051s | there's just so many little details that |
1053s | make it run smooth I believe that we |
1055s | have to perfect as like you know the cat |
1059s | or as the talent on stage and I think |
1061s | you know people see that and they're |
1063s | like wait maybe |
1067s | I mean it's just like there's so many |
1069s | couples as well like we rehearse |
1070s | everything you know obviously to make |
1071s | sure we know where positions are and |
1072s | what we're generally going to talk about |
1073s | but especially when you're an analyst |
1075s | like I don't know what Zeke is going to |
1077s | say when he throws it to us you know as |
1078s | he could ask any question you know it's |
1080s | like oh you've got to be ready for it so |
1081s | same with the game as well the game |
1083s | could go completely unexpectedly and you |
1085s | just have to adapt and think like okay |
1087s | how can I present my thoughts and |
1088s | present thoughts that people are |
1089s | actually interested in and not just |
1091s | things that just have already happened |
1092s | on the screen that we've already seen so |
1093s | literally uh |
1095s | you're watching end game and you're just |
1097s | you're as it's happening you're like |
1099s | okay oh this is happening in this team |
1100s | and you're like watching six nine |
1102s | screens and you're like okay all these |
1103s | players all these teams and your brains |
1105s | working a million miles an hour and |
1107s | you're like okay the lights are on the |
1109s | camera's on you what are you gonna say |
1110s | hey guys so let's talk about this like |
1112s | process it so quickly I think there's |
1115s | like a lot of process time that you have |
1118s | to almost like speed up so quick um |
1120s | usually I think if I was if I were to |
1122s | have like five minutes in between games |
1124s | I can the real beats I mean you know you |
1126s | could really be like super comfortable |
1127s | but having to go out there and be like |
1129s | wow I just watched all that like how do |
1131s | I break this down smoothly in the right |
1133s | way that it can be you know absorbed |
1135s | correctly like it's just it's definitely |
1137s | a challenge it's definitely |
1139s | not easy |
1141s | yeah and when you layer that on top of |
1143s | like you know we as like the the talent |
1145s | team the group of people that are there |
1147s | to put on the show you know we have this |
1149s | like narrative we're trying to tell |
1151s | right like this story we're trying to |
1152s | weave in through this whole thing and |
1154s | then so you might have an amazing point |
1155s | but you're like that doesn't matter |
1158s | because like that's not part of the |
1160s | story and like sometimes we'll just go |
1161s | with it which like hey by the way this |
1163s | little thing was super cool because we |
1164s | do want to like highlight all the cool |
1166s | things we see right there there is a |
1168s | very limited amount of time we have on a |
1171s | set at any given time to do anything |
1172s | right and that's outside of like we get |
1176s | there and they're like all right guys |
1177s | everything's good everything's looking |
1178s | great you're like here we go three two |
1181s | one you're live everything just broke |
1182s | hey you have to fill everything is |
1184s | broken don't mess up and you're like |
1187s | everything's on fire and now I have to |
1189s | like be here and make sure like you as a |
1192s | viewer yeah and you as a viewer you |
1194s | can't know if at any point you as if |
1196s | you're like hey did something break |
1197s | we've done something wrong so like for |
1199s | us too it's like okay everything's |
1201s | breaking I'm looking at minimine I'm |
1202s | like okay bro you got me and he's like I |
1204s | got you now look at Jenny she's like I |
1206s | don't know what's happening I'm like me |
1207s | neither Jenny you know like let's go |
1210s | do not make it as best as you can with |
1212s | any circumstances that happen I think |
1214s | too yeah like that adaptation is so |
1216s | vital in any like broadcasting world you |
1220s | just have to you know you're it's live |
1222s | like it is going like there are no |
1224s | there's not many mushroom for errors or |
1226s | mistakes so you have to like roll with |
1228s | the punches and I feel like y'all do |
1230s | that flawlessly live because there's |
1231s | been instances where that has happened |
1233s | and you guys have made it work like I |
1234s | didn't even know what was going on like |
1236s | until I like looked at the chat you're |
1238s | like oh yeah the screen's broke I'm like |
1239s | dang y'all I had no idea I'm like I'm on |
1242s | the team you know like and I'm just |
1243s | watching you guys I'm just like you just |
1245s | do it so well so Props to you guys for |
1247s | that that's so great yeah it's difficult |
1249s | I think I mean you got all three like |
1251s | couples thrown in you know it's like |
1252s | something else that hasn't worked or you |
1253s | know something you know someone's gone |
1254s | wrong but I think it just comes down to |
1256s | like how much have you prepped like if |
1258s | you've prepped enough for the show if |
1259s | you know your stuff inside and out then |
1261s | it's like it's no problem right we could |
1263s | talk about fortnite for hours and hours |
1264s | and hours because |
1265s | um I know from a personal standpoint I |
1267s | always like to over prepare for shows |
1268s | rather than under prepare so if |
1270s | something like that does happen I've got |
1271s | a whole list I've got a whole you know |
1272s | document full of notes on every single |
1274s | team so if something goes wrong you know |
1276s | here and there you have to fill for an |
1277s | extra five minutes you have to talk |
1278s | about a team then it shouldn't be too |
1280s | much of a problem but um that's |
1281s | literally just how you kind of get |
1282s | through that is like the work you do |
1284s | beforehand just to make sure that if |
1285s | something does go wrong and something |
1286s | you know a little careful's thrown in |
1288s | then you know it's not too much of a |
1289s | problem but there is yeah there's always |
1290s | that slight level of panic where it's |
1292s | like oh no we're not in the game what do |
1294s | we say the preparation what do we do |
1296s | it's so crazy I think that's what I |
1298s | didn't know going into it too because |
1300s | like I would just go out there and be |
1301s | like what's up guys you know talk about |
1303s | what I know but the prep is crazy like |
1305s | having to you know study the in-depth of |
1308s | the teams what how many evidence yes |
1310s | they want to do as they used to be with |
1311s | who used to be with who what's the not |
1314s | the beef but like what's the drum like |
1316s | you know what what's the stories going |
1317s | on with all these teams like and n a and |
1320s | EU like you have to separate them like |
1322s | oh that's he doesn't play on this like |
1324s | region like you you know it's just |
1325s | coming into it really not being crazy |
1328s | familiar with um a lot of the teams |
1330s | other than like you know like the top |
1332s | teams it's definitely like whoa it was |
1335s | just like a whole bunch of preparation |
1337s | for me um I think it was easier after I |
1340s | like kind of figured out my flow of like |
1341s | how I get a study and prep but yeah I |
1343s | think prepping is like if you don't if |
1345s | you go out there without being friends |
1346s | like |
1347s | you're done you're done |
1350s | I think though like that's that was one |
1352s | thing uh I appreciate about you Jenny |
1354s | when you came in you know you had done |
1355s | prep but it is man competitive is just |
1359s | so different and you can't really be |
1362s | ready for it until you're in it and so |
1364s | like what I liked it was that you came |
1365s | in you're like I have this knowledge but |
1367s | like how do I focus this and then like |
1369s | immediately just all had a rally behind |
1370s | you be like okay let's just help like |
1372s | put Jenny on the the right track you |
1374s | know we just have to point her in the |
1375s | right direction she's got the knowledge |
1377s | but like we just have to make sure |
1378s | you're saying it this way exactly like I |
1380s | think that's what's like vital in a show |
1383s | for all of us is like even someone like |
1385s | me I've done this for a long time I feel |
1387s | very comfortable and Set uh man I could |
1389s | feel give me a time and I'll say yes |
1392s | like I will fill any amount of time but |
1393s | there is still you know you you can |
1395s | never be satisfied with where you're at |
1397s | there always have to be growing you |
1399s | always have to be learning and saying |
1400s | like Okay this isn't the end if I'm if I |
1403s | ever become like if I get to a formula |
1405s | yeah this is fine I'm the best I can be |
1406s | like |
1407s | I'm doing something wrong you know like |
1410s | there there has to be a level of I want |
1412s | to become better at this and so I think |
1414s | yeah yeah like when it happens for all |
1417s | of us right like we come in we're like |
1418s | hey you know what I want to talk about |
1419s | this did that sound weird and we're like |
1420s | no it sounded great and like even if it |
1423s | sounded amazing you know you'd even have |
1424s | those moments of like did I make a |
1427s | mistake right like because again you you |
1429s | kind of touched on me but there's so |
1431s | many people watching right it feels like |
1433s | you can't make a mistake the pressure is |
1435s | on yeah the pressure is crazy and yeah |
1439s | like even to kind of double back on like |
1441s | you know when everything breaks like |
1443s | even the pressure that mounts times two |
1444s | right in that situation so like uh you |
1448s | know what what do you guys like do to |
1449s | help Orient yourselves in those |
1451s | situations because like I know they |
1452s | happen they're not frequent you know |
1454s | they happen every now and again but they |
1457s | happen right yeah I just usually take a |
1459s | deep breath I'm like all right and then |
1462s | I just I really I'm just thinking like |
1464s | wait pause I'm having a conversation |
1466s | about fortnite Fam I'm friends like |
1468s | y'all are on stage with me so if you got |
1470s | if it was just me up there I'd be like |
1474s | is a lot more comfortable having your |
1477s | friends on stage like having you know |
1478s | being able to bounce off each other lean |
1480s | against each other on for you know |
1482s | whichever topic you guys are on uh I |
1484s | think that is so amazing to have that |
1487s | connection that we have as like a talent |
1489s | team even behind the scenes like how |
1491s | close we get how close we are |
1493s | um the the love and care and everything |
1496s | that is just like presented off stage I |
1499s | think really shows up so much on stage |
1501s | like the chemistry and all of it really |
1504s | makes for such a good show and I think |
1505s | in those situations like where |
1507s | everything goes wrong like y'all are |
1508s | just friends and you're on stage and you |
1510s | could die you can just Chit Chat that is |
1513s | the difference between people that don't |
1514s | know each other and they're trying to |
1515s | make it work and just like having an |
1518s | actual conversation of friendship and I |
1519s | think like you can make any any bad |
1522s | situation work if you're just hanging |
1523s | out with your friends online you know |
1525s | yeah it's true I mean that's exactly |
1526s | what it is the chemistry is most |
1528s | important isn't it it's just you know we |
1529s | even hang out we watch movies together |
1531s | we'll yeah we'll chill we'll chat like |
1533s | we'll go to dinner and stuff like that |
1534s | like we are very uh we're very close off |
1537s | camera as well I think most people don't |
1538s | see that of course but that definitely |
1540s | helps when you're on camera as well |
1541s | another thing is just having that |
1542s | confidence in yourself just thinking you |
1543s | know what okay I know my stuff I know I |
1545s | can talk about this uh as Zeke pointed |
1548s | out earlier you know you can have those |
1549s | moments of self-reflection often your |
1550s | own you know worse critic in a sense |
1552s | where it's like oh I could have said |
1553s | that a little bit better or I could have |
1554s | filled that a little bit better maybe |
1555s | I'd go in more depth on that team where |
1557s | I take the depth out of that team it's |
1558s | just like in your past experiences |
1560s | you've just learned from it you know |
1561s | it's like okay maybe I'm gonna do that |
1562s | differently next time and you'll never |
1564s | get to a stage where you're absolutely |
1565s | perfect but from those little |
1567s | refinements those little Perfections |
1568s | that you can try and make to your to |
1570s | your casting your analysis your hosting |
1571s | whatever you're doing is just the most |
1573s | important thing because that's how you |
1574s | develop and that's how you grow so |
1575s | there's uh yeah it gets used those |
1577s | moments I think there's always room for |
1578s | improvement in anything like you're |
1580s | never gonna get to a spot where you're |
1581s | like I mean you could be proud of |
1583s | yourself like oh yeah that was great and |
1584s | then but you could also Vibe review just |
1586s | like the pros do yeah you can revive |
1589s | review your own self like even in the |
1591s | broadcast aspect and say okay I could |
1593s | have mentioned this here or I could have |
1594s | looked at the camera more or whatever |
1596s | you know you can analyze how you |
1598s | performed on stage how you could do |
1600s | better for next time and stuff too so |
1601s | like you could literally you I bod |
1603s | review I don't know if you guys do that |
1604s | I definitely thought of you like the |
1606s | shows too like and just kind of think |
1608s | how I could be better for the next one |
1610s | yeah I mean we're only human right like |
1612s | exactly we're just trying to do the best |
1613s | we can I think that's I think that's my |
1615s | biggest takeaway like from a viewer |
1617s | perspective is like just making sure |
1619s | people understand that it's not just |
1621s | like even just us as fortnite Talent |
1624s | there's other games out there right and |
1626s | the people behind the scenes they are |
1627s | pouring everything they have into making |
1630s | this broadcast amazing and they might |
1632s | slip up and make you know say a word |
1634s | wrong or call the player wrong name or |
1636s | whatever but like they are still giving |
1637s | everything they have to this broadcast |
1639s | so like |
1640s | just appreciate them you don't have to |
1642s | say like hey good job though that's nice |
1644s | and appreciate it but like hey just be |
1645s | like hey this is a tough job and they're |
1647s | doing the best they can they made a |
1648s | mistake let's just stay with them they |
1650s | got this like you know what I'm saying |
1651s | like that that would be my biggest uh |
1653s | yeah I hope someday all of the world can |
1656s | understand yeah this is very difficult I |
1659s | think the pressure too for me coming in |
1660s | was also the other thing feel in the |
1662s | space too and I think women in fortnite |
1663s | is growing like it's definitely |
1666s | um like there's so many amazing women in |
1668s | fortnite you can just know from like the |
1669s | woe attorneys from this everything |
1671s | coming off like like we're here to sign |
1673s | in the fortnite space but I think too |
1675s | that pressure of like seeing a female |
1677s | speaking about porn I I you know have |
1679s | that to that pressure to think okay like |
1681s | I have got to step up and like I |
1684s | honestly kind of like prove and show and |
1686s | represent women so well like in |
1688s | competitive Fortnight so I think that |
1690s | was also like a pressure for me that I |
1691s | wanted to |
1692s | um make sure that I said as much as I |
1695s | could like correctly and uh present |
1697s | everything well |
1699s | I mean our talent team as well like we |
1700s | all sort of build each other up there's |
1702s | always that sense of a team aspect I |
1704s | think that's what I already like about |
1705s | the way that we do things with the fncs |
1707s | and behind the scenes that a lot of |
1708s | people at home wouldn't even see but |
1709s | it's just that we are good friends of |
1711s | course we are you know it's not fake we |
1713s | don't hate each other and then go and |
1714s | pretend to be friends and oh hello how's |
1716s | it going uh but no we are actually |
1717s | genuinely friends off camera we do bring |
1719s | each other out we do help each other |
1720s | improve because we're all in the same |
1721s | boat we're all in the same situation we |
1723s | know what it's like to go out on our |
1725s | first time and you know mess up a few |
1726s | words mess up a mid game say whatever it |
1728s | may be but we've all been there we've |
1730s | all like experienced it so I think just |
1731s | for everyone in the team just to help |
1733s | each other out and really build each |
1734s | other up I think that's that's my |
1736s | biggest like thing that I enjoy uh about |
1739s | being on the fccs because like everyone |
1740s | is just so friendly and everyone's nice |
1741s | to each other and we all just want the |
1743s | best for both each other and the show |
1744s | itself so I love it yeah super quick do |
1747s | you guys have a favorite memory what's |
1749s | your favorite memory |
1751s | favorite memory uh I mean so many for me |
1754s | it was just like my first time on the |
1755s | show we were doing rehearsals and it was |
1758s | just like it was a weird experience |
1760s | because we would like stood on the stage |
1761s | I think it was uh I think it was me and |
1762s | music uh and it was one of those |
1764s | situations where I looked at everyone on |
1766s | the stage I looked at the the cameras |
1768s | and stuff and I was like I've been in |
1770s | this situation in a dream it was a |
1772s | really really weird situation I was like |
1773s | this has actually like happened before |
1775s | it's like a Deja Vu moment almost yeah I |
1777s | was like this is actually happening |
1778s | because like I you know I've watched the |
1779s | liberal class since the very beginning |
1781s | you know Season X and whatnot but |
1783s | um I was like I've gone from like |
1785s | watching and doing viewing parties on my |
1786s | on my streams to actually being here in |
1788s | person on camera on set like with all |
1790s | these people that I've looked up to for |
1792s | so long it's like oh my like this is |
1794s | happening like that was like it's a |
1795s | weird thing it's a weird like small |
1797s | moment but that is always something that |
1798s | I think back of is like yeah that is |
1800s | like the moment I was like this has |
1801s | actually happened like that was a |
1803s | surreal moment you were like wait I've |
1805s | almost yeah you've dreamed this like I |
1807s | dreamed about that yeah I was like whoa |
1809s | It's Zeke he's real I can see him this |
1812s | is unbelievable like I've seen him in |
1814s | like summer Skirmish and everything and |
1815s | it's like now now we're on the show |
1817s | together it's uh yeah that for me was |
1819s | like my like my one moment where I was |
1820s | like wow this is cool oh my I like okay |
1824s | okay for that like I loved the when we |
1828s | came out and we had to do the little |
1829s | like handshakes or like the fun like |
1831s | things that we got to do with each other |
1832s | I think that was so fun for me um it |
1835s | just kind of showed a personality he's |
1836s | like that was Goofy and silly and fun |
1838s | um but the whole like the really the |
1841s | experience in a whole I cannot pick you |
1843s | out a single point because like it is |
1845s | just all so good like it is also good I |
1848s | think one funny funny thing I was gonna |
1851s | mention just about like the content like |
1853s | just like the broadcast team |
1855s | my first night there we went to dinner |
1858s | and I know this it's funny I think they |
1861s | ever wish it up we went to dinner and um |
1864s | I got up to the restroom and when I came |
1866s | back everyone was gone |
1870s | they gave me like they left me like |
1872s | whatever and the lady like comes and |
1874s | brings the bill and it was a bill for |
1876s | the entire table and I can't read Danish |
1879s | and it was like 600 |
1881s | 000 I thought I just pulled my card out |
1884s | I'm about to pay that everybody starts |
1886s | running back they're like no no no no |
1887s | and it was just so funny it was like oh |
1890s | my gosh I don't know it was immediate |
1892s | like wow you're already bullying me but |
1894s | like out of love you know and it was |

1897s | family after that yeah we clarify I |

1902s | nobody said nothing to me I wasn't there |
1904s | no yeah I was in a meeting it wasn't my |
1907s | idea though just just that's right for |
1908s | the record that really made me feel like |

2069s | that talk about a memory like that |
2070s | that's like something just completely |

2073s | seeing it I was like why have you done |
2076s | that |
2078s | listen my things why did Vivid Trust Me |
2081s | A and B it made a really loud noise like |
2084s | I picked him up and he just like fell |
2086s | in a really loud noise when he fell and |
2088s | I think it was just like he was like I'm |
2090s | fine but I was really worried but he was |
2092s | ended up being fine everything's fine he |
2094s | was fine well he says he's fine but we |

2108s | don't do it nope terrible she almost |
2109s | killed it and it almost happened |
2113s | um well hey that was a fun conversation |
2115s | as far as uh being talent I was just a |
2118s | couple more things we do want to talk |
2119s | about here on the drop swab kind of |
2121s | before we do Gil saying goodbye let's |
2123s | start with the brand new season uh man |
2126s | guys listen the inner anime lover in me |
2129s | is like freaking out all right chapter |
2131s | four season two is amazing Mega City the |
2135s | new bottom right half of the map is just |
2137s | grown by like what 30 percent or |
2139s | something like that some crazy number |
2141s | everything is wild new guns new things |
2144s | uh what has got to be your favorite part |
2146s | of this brand new season |
2148s | I love everything about it I love um the |
2150s | whole look of the new biome I think |
2152s | that's my main takeaway it's just like I |
2153s | actually went into replays I turn up my |
2155s | settings up to Epic like literally |
2156s | everything on Epic and I went into the |
2158s | replays had a few cinematics looked |
2159s | around and oh my goodness it looks |
2161s | amazing I was looking at it I was |
2162s | thinking this is fortnite like this is |
2164s | actually fortnite Battle Royale looking |
2166s | at the the mega City the new POI it's |
2168s | absolutely beautiful and you just |
2171s | wouldn't ever expect it to be in |
2172s | fortnite but it is and it's real and |
2173s | it's so good |
2174s | dude it like transports you into a |
2176s | different world you really you're like |
2178s | you have to double think wait did I open |
2180s | fortnite like is that the game because |
2182s | you're just like this is so new and I |
2184s | think that's what makes it really |
2185s | exciting because people that have played |
2187s | fortnite for years and years and years |
2188s | always look forward to New Seasons and |
2190s | when they do something like as |
2192s | incredible as this it is so refreshing |
2195s | even as just a Casual Gamer but like |
2197s | incompetitive it opens up so many more |
2199s | doors and avenues for different |
2202s | um you know IQ plays like how are we |
2205s | gonna use these railings how are we |
2206s | going to do this how are we going to do |
2207s | that and so I think that is just so |
2209s | exciting to see how these players are |
2211s | gonna you know change the meta from like |
2214s | now there's not hammers you got the |
2215s | kinetic blade like that's what's in the |
2217s | game now so how is that gonna look like |
2219s | what you know speaking of just like meta |
2221s | City it's four pois in one it's huge I'm |
2224s | thinking how many things are gonna be |
2226s | landing there like that's gonna be so |
2228s | exciting to witness |
2229s | um and then you know again just the all |
2231s | the new weapons in the game |
2233s | it's so it's gonna be awesome I know the |
2235s | new shotgun's great |
2237s | um in comparison to like the Thunder it |
2239s | has a lot like the accuracy is really |
2240s | good and I feel like we'll we'll see a |
2242s | lot of players using that over |
2243s | um you know since Thunder's not in the |
2245s | game any longer |
2248s | yeah what do you got uh what do you |
2249s | think Minnie what do you think how you |
2250s | feeling about things uh I mean I gotta |
2252s | say man |
2254s | kinetic blade that's where it's at uh |
2259s | again you know going back to the anime |
2261s | lover in me you know it's uh I get to |
2264s | finally feel like a samurai I get to run |
2266s | around I get to fly at people I get to |
2268s | try and uh just demolish them and uh get |
2271s | one pumped well we'll talk about that |
2273s | aspect but we'll talk about me trying to |
2274s | make a cool plays |
2275s | yeah Zeke trying to make cool plays |
2277s | you're now able to do that you know with |
2278s | the uh the kinetic blade I love it |
2280s | actually uh I think it's a really really |
2281s | good item I think this is a really |
2283s | really nice item because it's balanced |
2284s | and competitive but it's also really |
2285s | really fun to use in in uh public and |
2287s | Casual playlists so you can actually use |
2289s | it to attack people you know and get |
2291s | some good damage off and of course you |
2292s | can use it as a Mobility as well so for |
2294s | competitive players that's mainly what |
2295s | they're going to use it for but I like |
2296s | it you know you can get them at specific |
2297s | areas but you can also get them from |
2299s | chess you can get them as floor loot so |
2300s | it's kind of balanced it's not just |
2301s | everyone going to one area because |
2303s | that's where the mobility is that you |
2304s | need to win the game I like how it's |
2305s | kind of spread across the map and it's |
2307s | really balanced it's not breaking it's |
2308s | not quite as destructive as the |
2309s | Shockwave Hammer was so it's gonna make |
2311s | end games a little bit more peaceful a |
2312s | bit more back to as we expected before |
2314s | and I like it I think it's just a great |
2316s | item in general and I'm excited to see |
2317s | how it's used in the end games in |
2319s | particular because in pubs and in Arena |
2321s | that I'm playing with right now it's |
2322s | it's really fun |
2324s | yeah how you guys feeling with the new |
2325s | Havoc weapons the suppressed they are uh |
2327s | Jenny you kind of touched on the pump |
2328s | shotgun right you like you like that |
2330s | accuracy |
2331s | first shot I can see amazing I'm a fan |
2335s | um but yeah the AR too like it's smooth |
2338s | and the Mythic one is like so good like |
2341s | crazy good but um yeah I think even me |
2344s | with like semi-good aim I'm a fan of the |
2346s | AR the new uh AR so um I think we'll |
2349s | definitely be seeing that a lot too it |
2351s | can uh spray through builds quickly as |
2353s | well so you might see it doubled up as |
2355s | like an SMG |
2356s | and I think it'll be a great weapon and |
2358s | a great addition to fortnite for me the |
2361s | pump it's that it's that new Havoc pump |
2362s | shotgun it's got a little bit of a |
2364s | smaller reticle than we've seen in |
2365s | previous pump shotguns and previous |
2366s | shotguns like the thunder so it makes |
2367s | hitting shots a little bit more |
2369s | difficult but when you do connect with |
2370s | it oh my goodness the damage that you're |
2372s | able to Output especially that Mythic |
2373s | one you can get them at the three pois |
2375s | with the vaults so yeah the Mythic Havoc |
2377s | pump it does 250 damage to the head |
2381s | I didn't miss say that that is actually |
2383s | 250 damage to the head and it obviously |
2388s | can one pump but play it's the only |
2389s | shotgun in the game that can as of right |
2391s | now it is absolutely crazy and the |
2394s | Damage you can put with the body as well |
2395s | it's 144 damage to the body from a range |
2397s | it's really good because it has that |
2398s | smaller reticle it is quite possibly the |
2400s | best shotgun that we've had in the game |
2402s | especially in recent seasons |
2404s | we're back to the days of being able to |
2406s | to one pump somebody oh yeah those days |
2408s | have returned yeah they are back in full |
2411s | force |
2412s | um is there a is there maybe like a |
2414s | player you guys uh are are focused in on |
2416s | uh especially with you know major two on |
2418s | the horizon that you think might do |
2420s | super well here in the season yeah for |
2423s | me it's a swizzy on EU now I want to |
2425s | focus on swizzy because he's one of the |
2427s | players that has actually moved just to |
2429s | EU this season or last season playing in |
2431s | the grand finals and they actually was |
2432s | second in Grand finals after day uh one |
2435s | so they were doing really really good |
2437s | this was almost an unheard of uh |
2439s | occurrence you know one of our other |
2440s | regions of course came from the Asia |
2442s | region one fncs in chapter two season |
2444s | eight and it's had some pretty good |
2445s | performances throughout the season uh or |
2447s | chapter three and swizzy just performing |
2449s | at a very very high level especially |
2451s | coming into the new uh you know the new |
2453s | region for him the new environment that |
2455s | this uh Duo are in shimoki and swizzy |
2457s | they played really really well in fncs |
2459s | and on the show I actually referred to |
2461s | them as potentially the new Malibu Crema |
2463s | mustache or the way that they play |
2464s | they're playing playing those mid-ground |
2465s | layers really really well they're |
2466s | playing those sort of free edit plays |
2468s | really well as well I'm really enjoying |
2469s | seeing them play and they're playing |
2471s | with such uh aggressiveness they're |
2473s | playing with such a confidence in the |
2475s | games which we don't usually see I think |
2476s | when people when teams go over to a |
2478s | different region and especially a bigger |
2479s | region where there's you know maybe the |
2481s | the average player quality is a little |
2483s | bit higher you'd expect them to play a |
2484s | little bit more safe look more scared |
2485s | but these guys are really taking on the |
2487s | challenge and I mean he won five solo |
2490s | Cash Stop games the other week he is |
2492s | just an incredible player and next |
2493s | season I'm excited to see them develop |
2496s | dude my eyes are on Kanata for n a i |
2499s | okay why we have an interview with |
2501s | Kanata and it was amazing I love his |
2504s | energy and also I love his confidence I |
2506s | feel like there's a good balance between |
2507s | like being confident and you know being |
2509s | cocky but he has a great amount of |
2511s | confidence going into this game he and |
2513s | his Duo agers are just like are |
2515s | confident in one another and I think |
2516s | that really shows placing second |
2519s | um and agreeance but let me tell you I |
2521s | really see this being kanata's year |
2523s | because I think I I'm gonna say I'm |
2526s | going to live and say like this is the |
2527s | year he gets in fncs he has played so |
2529s | well but he hasn't yet gone mnts title |
2532s | and I think this will be the year that |
2534s | he does it but |
2535s | again too this is something super |
2537s | interesting talking about Mega City |
2539s | earlier he's already claimed some of |
2541s | that territory so that's really cool |
2543s | because I know last season two he |
2544s | claimed faulty and no one really like |
2546s | was gonna mess with them faulty even |
2548s | being one of the few eyes with like the |
2549s | most chests they still claim so much of |
2551s | that territory so I think them kind of |
2554s | already putting their feet down and |
2555s | saying this is where we're gonna play |
2556s | this is where we're taking over uh |
2558s | that's gonna be so crazy for them |
2560s | because that's going to give them a |
2561s | great Advantage so much opportunity and |
2563s | again like not many people are going to |
2564s | want to contest them there so |
2566s | um I'm like so excited my eyes are on |
2568s | Kanata and ages to see how they perform |
2570s | coming moving forward with the new |
2572s | season yes yeah because of course Canada |
2574s | was landing at fully space you mentioned |
2576s | that voice is gone so I know he had to |
2579s | change right he had to change was forced |
2581s | into it which exactly that might throw a |
2582s | few spanners in the works for him |
2583s | because of course A lot of these teams |
2585s | are landing elsewhere they know their |
2586s | drops they already exactly yeah can't |
2588s | find out they know how their surge works |
2589s | but for Canada now he's just completely |
2591s | lost his strong spot his drop spots gone |
2592s | into thin air and now I'm gonna try and |
2594s | learn a new drop spot which is probably |
2595s | better you know it has I believe from |
2597s | Mega city has 102 chests like 250 |
2600s | degrees Yeah it's absolutely insane so |
2602s | the potential for success coming out of |
2603s | Mega city is probably better than fully |
2605s | splits right yeah no as you mentioned |
2607s | I'm excited to see them perform this |
2609s | season I mean Canada come out with the |
2610s | most damage too like again those the |
2613s | other teams that are leaning Mega like |
2614s | like they're gonna be like I gotta stay |
2616s | as far away from their corner of Mega |
2618s | city as possible I ain't trying to get |
2619s | empanadas I say that is for sure |
2622s | uh I I do want to touch on you guys to |
2624s | talk about Mega City a little bit uh I |
2627s | okay I have a little bit of concerns and |
2629s | I want to see if you guys are maybe like |
2631s | in the same headspace uh so like we talk |
2634s | about what's super dope about Mega City |
2636s | what are maybe just like one or two |
2638s | things that you maybe have concerns |
2640s | about because for me I feel like the POI |
2643s | uh and Jenny you actually kind of |
2645s | touched on this it's like 4p lies in one |
2646s | yeah it is it's crazy it's huge |
2649s | um which also means there's a lot more |
2651s | room for like error in some ways right |
2655s | oh yeah no for sure like it's uh I want |
2658s | to land there and also I'm kind of |
2660s | terrified to lay in there because again |
2661s | like you don't know how many teams are |
2663s | going to be leaving there obviously |
2664s | there's drop Maps like I mean not drop |
2666s | Maps the you know they're going to claim |
2668s | their territory |
2669s | um but at the same time like until we |
2672s | see these games play out and we're not |
2674s | really gonna know like how many teams |
2676s | can land there if it's four pois in one |
2678s | like it could potentially be like eight |
2680s | or something teams and also those |
2682s | Railways being there you can get from |
2684s | like one side of the city to the other |
2685s | and like a heartbeat uh it's just it's a |
2688s | it's dangerous so I think the teams that |
2691s | are going to want to land there are |
2692s | gonna be teams that are ready prepared |
2694s | to like honestly fight off spawn if |
2696s | there's a ridiculous amount of teams or |
2698s | they're gonna split it peacefully and |
2700s | maybe not really worry have to worry |
2703s | about like fighting off I think it's |
2704s | literally goes either like that way full |
2706s | send or not you know |
2708s | yeah definitely I think the teams are |
2710s | landing there this season from what I've |
2711s | seen it is some of the best fighters on |
2712s | the region because they just have to be |
2714s | adaptable of course when you're landing |
2715s | at a new drop you know there's new as |
2717s | you mentioned the rails that people can |
2718s | use I think the teams are going to find |
2719s | the most success are going to be those |
2720s | that literally memorize where each of |
2722s | the Rails go which which color do I hop |
2724s | on to get to this side of the map which |
2725s | color do I harm to get to this side of |
2726s | the map so just having that ability to |
2729s | just to zip around the POI because I |
2730s | mean I don't know about you guys I'm |
2731s | hopping on the rails right now I have no |
2733s | idea where I'm at I could be going sort |
2735s | of like back to chapter two who knows |
2736s | because I have no clue where I'm gonna |
2738s | end up so I'm saying my teammate oh |
2740s | there's a guy on me oh yeah it's right |
2741s | I'll get over to you in a sec I'm hop on |
2743s | a rail I'm in I'm in the other side of |
2744s | the POI like I don't even know where I |
2746s | am so I think the team if I was playing |
2749s | capacity that I was Landing there I |
2751s | would learn those uh those those rails |
2753s | because I could end up so split but no |
2754s | it's gonna be most important for those |
2756s | teams that's my only concern is the |
2757s | teams that don't learn that might have a |
2759s | few issues and you know maybe the Vault |
2760s | might cause a few instances where people |
2762s | are kind of like camping on it because |
2763s | you know people could just camp in the |
2765s | in the corner of the Vault if you didn't |
2766s | know I I totally haven't done that in |
2768s | Arena |
2773s | [Music] |
2775s | tweeted out talking about how like you |
2778s | know a accuracy and stuff mechanics is |
2780s | like less so much less like 25 and |
2783s | having like a high IQ in the game is |
2785s | like 75 and I think that's where that |
2787s | comes comes into play like really |
2789s | knowing your jobs are like knowing the |
2790s | colors which ones you're gonna drop on |
2791s | like exactly where you're gonna land how |
2793s | you're going to move where like you know |
2795s | you're rotates just within your POI |
2797s | before like main rotation I think all of |
2800s | that is so crazy to think about too |
2802s | because I think a lot of these players |
2803s | create metas that again in turn like we |
2807s | all end up playing even just normal Pub |
2808s | players but to see what they come up |
2811s | with they create like their IQs are |
2812s | insane these competitive players blow my |
2815s | mind with some of the stuff they come up |
2816s | with I mean just beside like your normal |
2818s | gameplay some of the things that they're |
2820s | even doing I think the mix of having |
2822s | them |
2823s | the sword in the game |
2825s | um with a lot of the different augments |
2827s | I know a lot of those combinations are |
2829s | going to be amazing to see and I can't |
2831s | wait yeah that which hey that's a great |
2834s | segue because we could talk about |
2836s | major one grand so just wrapped up um |
2839s | but I kind of want to like Focus this a |
2842s | little bit on more of like major two and |
2845s | what that kind of looks like so |
2846s | obviously you know just want to really |
2848s | quickly say huge congratulations to |
2850s | everyone who won Grand finals of major |
2852s | number one just an amazing feat right |
2854s | and now we're gonna be about about to |
2856s | run it back for major number two |
2859s | on top of a new season on top of being |
2861s | more spots to qualify through the global |
2863s | championships uh you know how you guys |
2865s | get like like |
2866s | hoping maybe we'll see major to evolve |
2869s | from major one I think I mean it's just |
2872s | going to be about what lessons of teams |
2874s | learn because of course major one first |
2875s | season of a chapter lots of new stuff |
2877s | new map new locations to land that new |
2879s | loot path new uh you know new everything |
2881s | ready especially this season when we got |
2882s | the new zones so it's gonna be about |
2883s | yeah it's gonna adapt the quickest who |
2885s | can be the best at thinking okay this is |
2887s | what we did in major one you know maybe |
2888s | the things didn't work out too well |
2890s | maybe we didn't go a POI at the |
2891s | beginning of the Season maybe we didn't |
2892s | learn our drop well enough so it's going |
2894s | to be about who can learn the best who |
2896s | can adapt who can self-reflect in the |
2898s | most uh effective manner to then go and |
2900s | pop off in season in a major two because |
2902s | this is what this is all about there's |
2904s | so many changes to fortnite all the time |
2905s | you have to be adaptable you have to be |
2906s | on your toes because if you're not then |
2907s | you just get left behind yeah and I |
2909s | think too like with the new changes |
2911s | um the teams that are going to be having |
2913s | to like change or drop spot because |
2914s | they're dropped fight no longer exists |
2916s | like they're kind of forced into this |
2917s | new area I always say practice makes |
2920s | perfect so the the practice time in |
2923s | comparison to a lot of the other teams |
2925s | that have like their same drop like |
2926s | they're very familiar with it probably |
2928s | don't have to like obviously put as much |
2929s | time into like knowing it or |
2931s | understanding it so that's gonna play a |
2933s | factor in like what if they're not |
2935s | training and working on like aim or |
2937s | rotation as much if they're just |
2938s | focusing on the POI like they're gonna |
2940s | have to put a lot of their energy into |
2942s | understanding it knowing it so I think |
2944s | that it will be cool to see if it you |
2945s | know maybe they're like okay we didn't |
2947s | touch point on this too much but get |
2949s | again again because like major major two |
2951s | is like coming up again like it's right |
2954s | around the corner and a blink of an eye |
2955s | it will be here so uh I I just think |
2958s | that it kind of puts the teams that have |
2960s | their drop spots set like at an |
2962s | advantage in the sense versus the teams |
2963s | that are having to like relearn a new |
2965s | POI but again these are the best of the |
2968s | best players so if anybody can do it |
2970s | they can do it and uh I think we'll see |
2972s | the b-thon but it will be really fun to |
2975s | see how it unfolds yeah and Minnie you |
2977s | touch on the storm surge or not storm |
2979s | I'm sorry the Storm Circle changes yes |
2981s | uh talk us through a little bit of that |
2984s | and maybe just give us your thoughts |
2986s | yeah so I mean there are storms that |
2988s | have changed as well due to the you know |
2989s | the new zones affecting it so it's gone |
2990s | from 9 to 12 basically so we have now 12 |
2993s | storm circles instead of nine which |
2995s | makes the mid game a little bit longer |
2996s | so we have a little bit of a uh more |
2999s | zones and bigger zones that are then |
3001s | slowly go into a smaller Zone uh the end |
3003s | game is quite similar it's a little bit |
3005s | more fast paced it feels a little bit |
3006s | like Zone Wars from what I've seen from |
3007s | a few scrims that I've watched so very |
3009s | very fast pace you need to be on your |
3010s | toes for that but the mid game it makes |
3012s | it a little bit more interesting for |
3013s | teams that are landing on those Edge |
3014s | drops because in the past if you don't |
3016s | pull that first Zone you don't pull that |
3017s | second Zone you're kind of a little bit |
3019s | at a disadvantage when you're rotating |
3021s | it a lot of the teams will just sit and |
3022s | hold you especially with the you know |
3023s | the Shockwave families who were able to |
3024s | get ahead of zone now the zones are a |
3026s | little bit bigger so first zone is |
3028s | almost the entire map second Zone just a |
3030s | little bit closer and again so it's |
3031s | going to provide a little bit more value |
3033s | for teams that are landing at those Edge |
3035s | drops maybe they need a little bit more |
3036s | time to loot maybe they take a little |
3037s | bit longer on their loot path from their |
3039s | surge plan so I'm excited I'm excited to |
3041s | see which teams will actually benefit |
3043s | from this will we see teams that are no |
3045s | longer just relying on the zones I mean |
3046s | we saw in major one especially day one |
3048s | of EU we had so many West zones and the |
3050s | top five were all West teams so it's |
3051s | like no surprise there but this time |
3053s | maybe we'll see some teams that are |
3054s | landing at different areas of the map |
3055s | benefit from having the zones more |
3057s | favorable for them um and I like it |
3059s | because it's not about Zone RNG as much |
3061s | anymore because that's going to be a |
3062s | factor but it's not as quite as as |
3065s | important because like I think Samsung |
3066s | in some senses like we were like oh yeah |
3069s | the Zone's falling North this team's |
3070s | gonna win like yeah it's almost like |
3072s | automatic but now it kind of has like |
3075s | more of a fair game in the sense of |
3076s | being like okay well you have plenty of |
3078s | time to rotate in like that that |
3080s | shouldn't be an issue for you so I love |
3082s | that I think it'll be very fun and I |
3084s | love that new edition |
3085s | yeah I can't wait man we're gonna be |
3087s | talking about so much of this too uh in |
3088s | the future and of course on the |
3090s | broadcast there's just so much to unpack |
3092s | with all of these changes uh really |
3095s | quickly want to highlight uh we've got |
3097s | some upcoming tournaments I don't know |
3099s | if you guys know anything about a couple |
3100s | of some of these but uh I mean I've |
3102s | heard there's a reddish Rumble coming up |
3105s | Jenny yes |
3107s | on the 16th which is today |
3111s | um so exciting I think that there's an |
3114s | amazing amount of players that kind of |
3116s | blew my mind like the amount of |
3117s | competitive players uh from euna because |
3120s | some of the games are EU and some of |
3121s | them are on it on n a service so uh |
3123s | you'll have a handful of teams that |
3125s | actually don't really compete against |
3126s | each other like in the major events like |
3128s | playing against each other so I think |
3129s | that'll be really interesting |
3131s | um but yeah it's going to be a blast |
3133s | it's actually co-ed so one girl one guy |
3136s | on each team uh and I love it I think it |
3139s | will be very fun |
3140s | yeah |
3142s | I mean I love it personally like you |
3144s | know we're getting loads of new sort of |
3145s | third party tournaments coming in you |
3147s | know mixing in with the cash cups in |
3148s | game and the Victory cups and all that |
3150s | it's just like so much going on in the |
3151s | competitive scene and I like these |
3152s | because it sort of brings the community |
3153s | together you know maybe you're gonna |
3154s | play with someone that you've never |
3155s | played with before earn a bit of cash as |
3157s | well potentially but most importantly |
3158s | just have fun yeah yeah I love it I love |
3161s | it there's a couple more too a for all |
3163s | you College folks out there we got a |
3164s | Collegiate tournament coming up I mean |
3166s | that's absolutely wild we got |
3168s | PlayStation Cup coming up we got Mama |
3170s | Benji Trio's cup what the heck there are |
3173s | so many ways to get involved in all |
3175s | things fortnite if you want to hop in |
3177s | you want to compete you want to start |
3178s | preparing yourself for potentially |
3180s | moving on up to the fncs maybe I don't |
3182s | know maybe you just like is let's just |
3183s | compete I mean there's just so many |
3185s | different ways to do that and I think |
3187s | that's gonna be my favorite like a thing |
3189s | about competitive it's not just evidence |
3192s | yes just not just that one percent it's |
3193s | like hey look at all these crazy things |
3195s | happen all these things going on yeah |
3197s | you could lead the way right into you |
3199s | being in the fncs and playing against |
3201s | these these crazy players like you you |
3203s | could be the crazy players I just kind |
3205s | of put in the work play the tournaments |
3207s | practice enough and it really could be |
3209s | you yeah I mean big shouts of mountain |
3211s | Benji Fisher calls Trio cup uh on Friday |
3213s | that's going to be amazing I'm gonna |
3214s | play in it actually so uh I'm excited I |
3216s | think I'm playing with eleven so uh |
3219s | um I know 11 is a bit of a fortnight |
3221s | grinder as well so that's always good |
3222s | but no but you know I love these like |
3223s | Creator cups as well we've had one uh |
3225s | with queasy we've had other tournaments |
3227s | in game which is you know linked to |
3228s | crazies link to Pro players I love it so |
3230s | much because it just again brings the |
3232s | community together it brings faces to uh |
3234s | to people that maybe don't know maybe |
3235s | people don't know Mountain fishy but now |
3237s | she's you know a lot more exposed to a |
3239s | whole new audience which is amazing and |

3311s | the results when we when they do play in |
