Some players who succeeded in previous tournaments also came out victorious.

Week 1 Summary

As much as the Ballers and bugs were talked about beforehand, there was little to complain about during the tournament. There were Ballers late in the game, but most lobbies were not overwhelmed. The slight nerf to the Ballers’ health caused more players to take shots at the vehicles. In addition, there were no notable glitches or lag. The gameplay was crisp and competitive.

The players who were aggressive toward the end were rewarded with eliminations. Viewers’ only complaint was the lack of players streaming the event. The Fortnite Twitch page shared a broadcast of the games but lacked the players’ perspective. Hopefully, more competitors will stream the event next week for the beginning of the duo matches.
