0s | diversity type of phantom like oh this |
---|---|
2s | player is from like UCLA and then they |
5s | get to go up against like uh a rival |
8s | that is known in another sport or |
10s | something like that and then they go |
11s | head to head in some kind of box fight |
13s | and therefore you're able to kind of |
15s | build that story from the fncs because |
17s | hey these players have fought against |
19s | each other before and you get to like |
21s | build up that entire audience |
24s | yeah the story lines you're right we |
26s | could follow them so closely across |
28s | competitive in general here you kind of |
29s | see you know we talked about kind of |
30s | like fncs and the like but when you see |
32s | in the Collegiate space they kind of |
33s | have a separate kind of like narratives |
35s | kicking off for these rivalries as you |
37s | mentioned earlash I mean SPG I guess |
39s | it's really good for for you know kind |
41s | of fans as well who kind of or players |
43s | who want to get into as mentioned before |
45s | that the community cup like kind of new |
46s | players as well it's great to kind of |
48s | start and try to find are these these |
49s | kind of other these other stories that |
51s | are kind of kicking off on a different |
52s | scene that you can follow too kind of |
53s | gives you kind of a broadest kind of |
55s | like overarching story of everything |
56s | that happened in the fortnite space I |
58s | think it's really really cool yeah and |
59s | like you mentioned like we mentioned |
61s | earlier there's tons going on uh the |
63s | Collegiate space is an awesome |
65s | developing one and then we have like the |
68s | main core competitive but the cool thing |
70s | is there's that crossover so it's not |
72s | like one or the other is the only thing |
75s | you can get involved in |
77s | um one of the cool things that I've been |
79s | enjoying is the solo Victory cash cups I |
81s | qualified to a couple of round twos if I |
84s | may say so myself oh look at this guy |
86s | look at this guy hey I did I did all |
90s | right didn't win a game in round two but |
92s | you know what |
93s | um those are a fun way to get involved |
95s | and kind of get a feel for it because |
96s | they're pretty quick and it's like a |
99s | very easy to understand format get |
102s | points in round one win a game in round |
103s | two and that's like easiest for somebody |
106s | to to get through if you're just |
108s | starting out in fortnite all you got to |
110s | do is win and I I say that although all |
113s | you gotta do is not easy to do so I |
116s | don't know I'm gonna be quiet now |
119s | classic classic SPG |
121s | I respect it I respect it you know just |
123s | win just win that's the last quote from |
126s | SVG I mean I think that could be said |
128s | for basically every game ever but just |
130s | win is definitely up there for sure uh |
132s | but uh yeah definitely make it make sure |
133s | to keep tabs on that because it's the |
135s | Collegiate Space is really really |
136s | exciting and uh these obviously loads |
138s | about it and it's uh it's great to see |
139s | it's doing so brilliant integrating of |
141s | gaming with education as well which is |
143s | amazing |
144s | um we talked about you know kind of um |
145s | fncs you know I gotta talk about surge |
148s | week this just happened |
149s | um and lots of uh lots to kind of jump |
152s | off as well from what yo search is one |
154s | of those things we find synonymous as |
156s | well with just just crazy Fortnight |
158s | because you have every every Victory |
160s | Royale gets you qualification for finals |
164s | I mean it's it's there's so much like |
166s | you know that you're on the line there |
167s | you know you win a game you go through |
169s | we just talk about winnings everything |
170s | it really is in that space Also |
171s | consistency too I mean you guys watched |
174s | surge week you kind of saw the kind of |
175s | like the last chance to give a place to |
177s | get into Grand finals um what did you |
178s | make of the SVG what kind of some of the |
180s | highlights that stuck out for you |
181s | so I think the really interesting thing |
184s | about surge week is the top 40 players |
186s | are already in Grand finals and they're |
188s | kind of the ones that condition how |
190s | lobbies play out so this is like a brand |
192s | new way to look at the game because you |
195s | know all these other players are now |
196s | trying to get their feet in these |
198s | lobbies where you may have been Landing |
200s | a different spot but then you realize oh |
202s | you know this team's no longer there or |
204s | after someone wins a match because they |
206s | qualify then you know okay boom I can |
209s | land to that spot but other teams have |
210s | the same idea so it's like this really |
212s | dynamic |
213s | type of fortnite which is so cool to see |
217s | and it's on a constant basis some of the |
219s | big names had to qualify through search |
222s | week and you know even some of the big |
223s | names that had to qualify didn't qualify |
226s | so it's a very difficult task regardless |
229s | of who you are and I don't know it leads |
232s | to some fun games to watch |
234s | it's the most fun I've probably had ever |
238s | watching fortnite just watching like the |
240s | the reboot round now like surge week |
242s | kind of environment where either you win |
244s | a game or you go through consistency and |
247s | that's where the hype is it's and even |
250s | like we saw in the final game of n a |
252s | where we saw Diego plays who was already |
256s | in consistency qualification range up |
259s | against a team of scented and favs who |
261s | had just barely made their way into the |
263s | surge week and just going Toe to Toe |
266s | like all right whoever wins this goes on |
268s | into the grand finals and then it just |
271s | boom shatters glass below |
274s | I know I know and you see I mean that's |
276s | one of the amazing things I think we saw |
278s | uh Brazilian triple Champion GSX who |
280s | managed to go to on consistency and |
281s | points as well but then you see on EU we |
283s | had hen and Paco who hadn't I think 13 |
285s | different fncs finals appearances |
288s | doesn't qualify and it's and it's just a |
290s | matter of points but I guess it's kind |
293s | of everyone has to go for broken that |
294s | kind of scenario right SVG you know when |
296s | it comes to surgery you kind of |
297s | sometimes do have to kind of switch up |
298s | lights because you know how important it |
300s | is to get to that number one spot in one |
303s | of the five games available and it's |
305s | it's sad to see some fell at the Wayside |
306s | but that just goes to prove a point here |
308s | as well about how competitive each |
310s | region is now particularly with yeah |
311s | with n a now kind of combining nae and |
313s | West you kind of have such a such a |
315s | Melting Pot of so many good Duos |
319s | um it kind of you know just goes to show |
320s | how you know how tricky it is to qualify |
322s | and how the best of the best really are |
323s | the greatest in that particular region |
326s | yeah and you know ideally you don't want |
329s | to have to play through search week |
330s | because we've seen the volatility that |
332s | it leads to and I think everyone going |
335s | into surgery has to have that same |
337s | mentality of just playing for |
339s | consistency because you have to get to |
340s | end games in order to even qualify so |
343s | like you can't go in being like I'm just |
345s | gonna win a game I feel like that's a |
347s | bad strategy you have to think okay I'm |
349s | gonna consistently make it to end game |
351s | if I get an opportunity I'm gonna try |
353s | and win and and we've seen those plays |
355s | there's a lot of teams like in the past |
357s | a player like macwood is someone like |
359s | historically has been great at winning |
361s | games and he's done so through a surge |
363s | week style format then we have other |
366s | teams like a floaty flokey Clement over |
369s | in Europe the Frenchies that have been |
371s | able to consistently prove okay I don't |
374s | care what challenge is ahead of me I am |
376s | prepared for this task being able to win |
378s | a game and move themselves over but you |
380s | know on the other hand there are teams |
381s | like scented and favs that some of the |
384s | winningest most regular others in an |
386s | fncs grants in N A now are just going to |
389s | fall just short and you talked about it |
391s | last just that head-to-head with Diego |
393s | plays that one last shot could have gone |
396s | either way and that that's the hype |
398s | moments that surge week brings us and |
401s | especially like you mentioned like these |
403s | are two for those of you that don't know |
405s | who favs or scented or maybe you just |
407s | know a little bit but don't know like |
409s | the full scope of why A Moment Like That |
411s | was so important scented has an average |
414s | placement of 15.6 in all of the I |
417s | believe 15 grand finals he's ever made |
419s | and then fast has three fncs |
422s | championships which is just insane to |
424s | see a team of that caliber not qualify |
428s | and I'd be interested to see whether or |
430s | not like we see a team like a queasy |
432s | Vino for example that's amazing at |
435s | winning games just like maybe have a |
438s | down first three weeks and then they |
439s | have to go through the surge week I'd |
441s | imagine they just go through first game |
443s | though and like 12 elims and they just |
445s | take on the VR and then they're like all |
446s | right we can just sit back relax now |
449s | I mean there were 70s on EU uh I think |
451s | it was Vico Vico and Kylie |
453s | um a Duo as well who I think I think I |
455s | think had five I think between that five |
457s | different surge weak qualifications |
460s | um through but sadly can I fell at the |
462s | last hurdle here at this particular |
464s | um surge week which is you know sad to |
466s | see again but again proving that even |
468s | with that kind of I guess when it comes |
470s | down to kind of about the likes of surge |
471s | week it is okay so you know if if it's |
474s | right all right on the night and it goes |
476s | in your favor thing you know you go you |
478s | know you go through the next round I |
479s | think a lot of times as well you see |
480s | that different pois sometimes might be |
482s | contested or might be otherwise but |
483s | contestants I mean one of the teams you |
485s | know in your particular kind of poi that |
487s | you drop out is qualifies the next round |
488s | it does open that whole kind of part of |
490s | the map up as well so things that ever |
491s | change I think players having to adapt |
493s | on the flyers or SVG is you have to give |
496s | them credit as well because so much can |
497s | be thrown at you at surge week and you |
499s | have to roll with the punches |
500s | and regardless of how the games play out |
503s | like you have to come ready with a |
505s | strategy you may not know exactly how |
507s | the drop map is going to turn out |
509s | because some players may be switching up |
511s | after game one game two every single |
514s | game |
515s | so coming in with a ready game plan to |
519s | be able to take over in these is huge |
522s | and understanding how you and your |
523s | teammate are going to play |
525s | um is so key and you know a lot of teams |
529s | think High Ground is the only way that I |
532s | can win games but honestly it wasn't the |
534s | only way the teams won games and more |
536s | often than not it seems like the teams |
538s | that took height early wound up being |
540s | the teams that didn't win so you know it |
542s | does get you some consistency there but |
544s | if you're trying to win games finding |
546s | these load of mid-ground layers is going |
548s | to be the key to that success at least |
551s | in my opinion and in the current meta |
553s | and one of the Duos here I want a |
555s | spotlight from EU has got to be Mappy |
558s | and I drop because this is a Duo that |
561s | have been absolute veterans in the space |
563s | like for I drop he's been playing since |
566s | literal day one competitive and Mappy is |
569s | a little bit of a sort of newer face |
572s | similar to like a malibuco where he |
573s | recently started popping up like as a |
576s | huge name and they made it all the way |
579s | down to the final game on EU but they |
582s | were playing like super consistent to |
585s | the point where you wouldn't imagine hey |
587s | this team's gonna come down to the final |
589s | game of surge week and they closed it |
593s | out on the wire but the fact that they |
595s | pulled out so many incredible plays |
597s | throughout the day as well to lead up to |
599s | that point was honestly the definition |
601s | of why the surge weak format is just |
603s | amazing and then if we just shift over |
606s | to n a real quick we had the last fncs |
610s | champion of Na West not like last season |
613s | this is the last n a West fncs winner |
616s | now that the Regents have combined thork |
618s | and bolts had to qualify through search |
620s | weekend man Boltz put the team on his |
623s | back though and just absolutely went on |
627s | a tear I think he had six elims as a |
630s | solo in one game during the end game got |
632s | a great placement so you know while it |
636s | shouldn't be done as a Duo and that's |
638s | how I would advise someone to play you |
641s | have to be able to in the moment take |
644s | over and you know just push yourself in |
646s | your team well beyond where you should |
648s | because bolts had no business getting as |
651s | many points as he did in that game he |
653s | was going crazy going crazy popping off |
657s | flash popping off my friend uh which was |
659s | yeah and that's the great thing about |
660s | surgery we saw so many teams qualify |
662s | some some felt there but others made up |
664s | our teams going through to each region |
666s | 50 Duos in each is going to be electric |
667s | to see and we should talk about Grand |
670s | finals because they are imminent I mean |
672s | fncs Grand finals Chapter Four Season |
674s | Two uh we have got ourselves a mighty |
677s | meaty two days of actually 12 games six |
680s | per day |
681s | um it's gonna be I mean as it is every |
683s | single season it gets it gets so |
685s | exciting because 12 games as well it I |
688s | mean can we talk about consistency with |
689s | points but consistency just in general |
691s | I've been getting I mean there's so much |
693s | to think about and digest when it comes |
694s | down to Grand finals you know they're |
695s | kind of like how they ride out storm |
697s | surge getting into and you know the end |
699s | game kind of you know each of the storms |
700s | pois being contested versus uncontested |
703s | so many factors and across 12 games SPG |
705s | it really kind of does it does kind of |
707s | separate the the teams that kind of rise |
709s | the top of the leaderboard and away from |
711s | those at the bottom as well so so many |
713s | factors to consider yeah and whether or |
715s | not we're going to talk about |
716s | consistency there's one thing that's for |
718s | sure |
719s | Cuisine Vino are going to win a game at |
722s | some point probably two during a 12 game |
724s | format they're like almost guaranteed I |
727s | I |
728s | it is incredible at what rate these |
731s | teams can win a game and I don't know |
733s | that there's anyone even close to them |
735s | but their problem is they go for this |
738s | winning game play style which then kind |
741s | of leads them to have inconsistencies in |
743s | their game although in Europe I kind of |
746s | see them mustache and Tayson and then uh |
749s | I'm gonna get this right Cami and seti |
751s | almost almost did it but I didn't |
755s | um those three are kind of the standouts |
757s | in uh Europe at least for me this fncs |
761s | and for for Cammy and seti they've |
763s | recently just won the week three finals |
766s | as well so they're they're coming in |
768s | pretty hot now it's just a matter of |
770s | like all right did this week between |
772s | week three and then the surge week |
775s | really played that much of a hindrance |
777s | as far as like consistency because we |
780s | bring up a point time and time again of |
782s | how much confidence and how much getting |
785s | on a roll in fortnite really matters and |
788s | we saw it from Cuisine Vino before the |
790s | fncs Invitational that they were winning |
792s | cash Cup on top of cash cup the elite |
795s | weekly Cup finals and they were just on |
798s | a roll and it showed like you mentioned |
800s | Victor royale's there I believe they got |
802s | three during the Invitational last year |
803s | so maybe they start to clean up what |
807s | that had happened in last major and |
809s | major number one because they had gotten |
811s | eighth place hopefully we see a team |
813s | like Wheezy they don't you know qualify |
815s | for that Global Championship as well |
817s | and one of the cool things about |
819s | watching queasy and Veno this season and |
822s | hearing them on an interview during the |
824s | broadcast was talking about how they've |
826s | shifted who takes over during the end |
828s | game it used to be queasy it was the |
830s | hard igl pretty much the entire time so |
833s | he would lead the duo from step one all |
836s | the way until the end of the game but |
837s | now Veno has kind of taken over during |
839s | those end game periods and I think we've |
842s | seen the success from them being able to |
844s | remain consistent I don't know exactly |
846s | what it is but one it doesn't hurt to |
849s | have two igls on your team that |
851s | understand what's going on and then two |
853s | having the ability to have |
856s | arguably the best Fragger maybe the best |
859s | player in the world leads you during end |
861s | game and Veno and see him just continue |
864s | to excel because pretty much since you |
867s | know about a year ago he's only gotten |
870s | better and that is really scary for |
872s | everybody else in that Lobby absolutely |
875s | when we speak about those those Duos |
877s | right you speak uh best igl best Fragger |
881s | EU but then you swap on over to n a and |
884s | the reigning NA East fncs major one |
887s | champions of acorn cold that I've seen |
890s | it all over the time like all right this |
892s | is probably the best igl in the region |
894s | and best Fragger on the region and |
897s | they're just going all in all the time |
899s | and they have truly shown it so far this |
902s | season time and time again like I've |
905s | been all over acorns Twitter he recently |
909s | has moved from 60 ping of what it was a |
913s | little bit closer on NA East to now zero |
915s | ping alongside cold as well as their |
918s | performances that have already racked up |
920s | countless countless first places and now |
924s | they're both on zero ping winning |
927s | winning |
928s | yes I mean they are I mean they are one |
932s | of the teams like it's absolutely in |
933s | contention as you mentioned going into |
935s | this with a real hot streak The |
938s | Experience alone but let me let me let |
939s | me let me raise you for a second here |
942s | booger and threats okay now Booga |
944s | obviously we know is synonymous with you |
946s | know World Cup winner and multiple |
948s | efforts yeses as well |
950s | could booger and threats here could |
952s | Booga make it a four for him I mean you |
953s | know they are they a team that could go |
955s | the distance as well here and managed to |
957s | claim the acts of Champions SPG is it |
960s | would it be wild to think it's possible |
962s | I think it's possible at the current |
964s | moment I think it's unlikely |
967s | um seeing how consistently Acorn and |
969s | cold have been able to control an end |
972s | game Lobby I'm not just saying play in |
974s | one but they're controlling the outcome |
977s | of others around them and it's on a |
980s | consistent regular basis they're they're |
982s | dropping like eight plus elims playing |
985s | low ground getting third or better in |
988s | games and I I see bugen threats as a |
991s | team that should be like right below |
992s | them if you know we're charting them out |
996s | I think it's possible I just don't know |
999s | that I've seen the ability for bugen |
1001s | threats to play together as well as I |
1004s | would like to say not saying they're bad |
1006s | I'm just saying Acorn cold are playing |
1007s | that well right now and you sometimes |
1011s | run into people that are just hot on |
1013s | fire running through lobbies and you |
1016s | know sometimes you can't really do |
1018s | anything about that so I would put them |
1020s | as like a top five duo in the fncs grand |
1023s | finals but I |
1025s | from what I've seen without being able |
1028s | to consistently get to end games |
1030s | together and play them together I don't |
1032s | know bugen threats are going to be able |
1034s | to jump up top I do want to raise you |
1037s | one though on another team that's just |
1039s | to the right of them currently on the |
1041s | drop map of endpen and polarize and |
1043s | folks if you haven't really heard much |
1045s | of this Duo it's because well npen has |
1048s | been well known as a player that has |
1051s | done very well back in the past but has |
1054s | also had his downfalls of like a bottom |
1057s | five in an fncs Grand Final but since |
1060s | major one last season from having a |
1063s | second place on day two of the grand |
1065s | finals alongside Baila now alongside |
1067s | polarized and the way that npen |
1071s | explained like their Duo kind of |
1072s | chemistry is that he doesn't have a |
1075s | leash on him at all like polarize will |
1077s | do what polarize does and that is just |
1080s | be one of the best fighters in this |
1082s | Lobby it's just a matter of the |
1084s | spotlight that's been given on polarized |
1086s | has been a little bit of a shadow cast |
1089s | if you will because well he's a massive |
1092s | content creator in his own right so when |
1094s | they combine together together you have |
1096s | two great content creators as well as |
1098s | competitors at over towards kinjutsu |
1101s | Crossing in that same area and they're |
1103s | hot they've had a second place in week |
1105s | two I believe in those weekly finals so |
1108s | that's the duo to look out for |
1110s | okay I mean that that there are so many |
1112s | GEOS to look out for and you absolutely |

1194s | serious right now okay this is your |
1196s | question first and foremost so SBG here |
1198s | we go |
1199s | question one |
1201s | statistically SPG what is the most used |
1205s | shotgun in competitive |
1210s | what is the most |
1213s | what is the most |
1215s | used shotgun in competitive |
1221s | I'm gonna think it's a pump shotgun but |
1223s | I'm gonna you know okay |
1226s | do you want to hear I'll give you this |
1228s | question you can have this question okay |
1231s | you have this question because I like I |
1233s | like your optimism here okay this is it |
1235s | your eager you're an eager beaver I like |
1237s | it look at that I I can see the smile |
1239s | okay okay so question for you here lash |
1241s | this is your first question we'll get |
1243s | SBG and do question number two question |
1245s | is this statistically what is the most |
1248s | used shotgun in competitive are we |
1252s | talking this season |
1254s | uh the question is the question I'm not |
1257s | going to start going on but yeah let's |
1259s | let's let's let's statistically say it's |
1261s | yeah let's look at overall recently |
1266s | statistically the most using invested |
1268s | what you're saying all right so it's |
1269s | either between the Thunder pump shotgun |
1273s | or the Havoc bump shotgun because not |
1277s | too many people are using the maven |
1279s | maybe it's like an igl utilizing the |
1281s | maven but |
1284s | um |
1285s | I'm gonna go with the Havoc pump |
1289s | Havoc pump shotgun is this your final |
1293s | answer |
1295s | yes |
1297s | you would be correct my friends one boy |
1300s | for you baby let's go did you I want to |
1303s | know as well I wonder if everyone at |
1304s | home listening as well got that correct |
1307s | whether everyone could actually got the |
1308s | same thing The Habit pump did you get it |
1310s | what did were you were you on the same |
1312s | page as lash maybe so okay I think trick |
1315s | I mean tricky questions sometimes though |
1317s | is all kind of working out whether or |
1318s | not you know it's that one there are |
1320s | different answers but haven't pump |
1321s | shotgun is absolutely the correct answer |
1323s | there I love this this is great so one |
1325s | point goes through to last year |
1328s | um I mean lash I'm loving the fact as |
1329s | well that you're you're I think for me |
1331s | as well you seemed very eager about that |
1333s | you seemed very eager to get your answer |
1336s | in and I respect him I respect it |
1338s | enormously uh okay uh we'll have SPG uh |
1341s | question in just a moment's time but I |
1343s | mean lash think it thinking about you |
1344s | know kind of a head to this weekend and |
1346s | we're going to see a lot more of like |
1348s | you know in in grand grand finals too |
1350s | when we see Grand finals happen |
1353s | do you think this is going to be one of |
1354s | those utilized weapons as well infantry |
1356s | watching I'm going to see a lot of the |
1357s | Havoc pump |
1359s | um I would I would definitely say so |
1361s | especially hey that Mythic Havoc Palm |
1364s | where you get it from either brutal |
1366s | Bastion or shattered slabs or Mega city |
1370s | which we had mentioned it from end pen |
1373s | and polarized I believe that yes we're |
1377s | gonna see it come in massively like |
1379s | maybe we see kind of like a surge weak |
1381s | moment from Diego plays except now in |
1384s | Grand finals best of the best |
1386s | collaborating together as always |
1388s | yeah I I think I think it's a really |
1391s | good point actually because when you |
1391s | think about I think in general when it |
1393s | comes to finals I mean what one thing |
1395s | we're we're not gonna we're gonna see |
1397s | anymore coming up to competitive as well |
1398s | the odm gear isn't part of competitive |
1400s | of grand finals which is I think is a |
1402s | big shift I mean how does that affect |
1403s | things as well obviously we'll see a lot |
1405s | more kind of like kinetic blades a left |
1407s | right and Center here but do you think |
1408s | it switches things up enormously here |
1410s | lash not seeing odm gear in in the |
1412s | inventory pool come finals oh absolutely |
1415s | and I mean now we have more kinetic |
1418s | blades on the island though so that's |
1420s | like the little teeter-totter if you |
1422s | will between these sort of metas so now |
1425s | over basically three-fourths of the |
1428s | island you don't have the odm gear |
1429s | anymore for your rotations and we also |
1432s | saw a lot of this season or a little bit |
1436s | of the front running of the season was |
1438s | actually the first two cash cups that |
1439s | were played without the odm gear because |
1441s | odm gear was introduced in either 24.2 I |
1444s | believe it was and we gotta look at the |
1447s | competition we saw teams like yomzone |
1449s | rise on N A who were playing magnificent |
1452s | in major one last season and they were |
1455s | bringing it to start this season but |
1457s | I've kind of teetered off throughout the |
1459s | weekly qualifiers but they're in Grand |
1461s | finals as well so I believe their their |
1464s | knowledge backtracking of earlier in the |
1467s | season those are the teams that are |
1468s | compared with only a couple days left |
1471s | till Grand finals |
1472s | yeah it's it's it's close it's very |
1475s | close I mean I'm curious as you about |
1477s | you as well last year and what I like is |
1478s | that because I'm curious about your kind |
1480s | of entry point into footage do you |
1481s | remember your kind of first experience |
1482s | coming into into the game kind of |
1484s | picking up for the first time kind of |
1485s | how it made you feel what are kind of |
1486s | backstories around you and and your |
1489s | history with the game like what is your |
1490s | I guess what's your earliest Fortnight |
1492s | memory |
1494s | um I interestingly enough I actually |
1496s | started watching before I started |
1498s | playing so it was actually summer |
1500s | Skirmish and it was I remember it |
1503s | vividly it was the Tilted Towers battle |
1506s | between Aiden and Nick Merks and just |
1509s | hearing the calls between uh I believe |
1512s | it was I believe it was courage on the |
1515s | call alongside Lupo and hearing that |
1517s | like nostalgic kind of feeling in that |
1520s | moment obviously wasn't nostalgic then |
1522s | but now to kind of think back in those |
1525s | moments that was like what really got me |
1527s | hooked and it was initially competitive |
1530s | it's interesting I mean yeah so that's I |
1532s | mean that's a really lovely thing to say |
1533s | as well in fact you you watched it and |
1535s | that's kind of like that kind of |
1536s | incentivize you to pick it up and play |
1538s | the game because I think that's a that's |
1540s | the great thing I guess about the about |
1541s | fortnite in general over the years as |
1543s | well and if you're a newer player and |
1545s | you know kind of new to the kind of the |
1546s | fortnite you know kind of space and game |
1548s | and such as well |
1549s | um it's interesting that you know a lot |
1551s | of a lot of characters over the years a |
1553s | lot of personalities in fact we've been |
1554s | so fortunate to have so many in fortnite |
1557s | in general kind of like enticing us kind |
1559s | of like keeping us entertained and |
1560s | that's what I love about like finals as |
1562s | well when it comes you know kind of |
1563s | they're more kind of like tier one |
1565s | competitive kind of um yeah all the |
1567s | competitions there are so many but we've |
1569s | talked about the kind of like their |
1570s | backstories and kind of where they tend |
1572s | to drop POI wise and what they tend to |
1573s | where yeah where they tend to go and |
1575s | Duo's flip-flop all the time and new |
1576s | Duos kind of form they change up some |
1579s | stick together we talked about Cami and |
1580s | seti been together for as long as I can |
1582s | remember whereas others kind of change |
1584s | you know on the Fly I love that about |
1586s | the fact there are so many kind of |
1587s | characters and big and big EO kind of |
1589s | players that we kind of we've seen them |
1590s | do such big things and it's so fun to |
1592s | watch and there have been so many over |
1593s | the course of the last however many |
1595s | years since fortnite first came out |
1596s | there we're still blessed to see it |
