    Man thats a lot. But does everything need a competitive scene? Idk. I hear people make this comment a lot but i kinda agree with it in terms of Battle Royale type games.

      Yeah I really don’t understand why people have latched onto this game so hard. You know the developers are going to make as much money as humanly possible before people suddenly forget about this...

      I think this is fitting for Epic. They have a history of competitive gaming and they certainly made Fortnite with the full intention of making it an eSports title.

    I like this approach much more than how OWL has gone about supporting Overwatch in esports. However I have to admit I've grown pretty tired of seeing nothing but Fortnite in the top streams tab of twitch. I'd love for a bit more variety on the platform.

      I have been going to options and clicking 'Not Interested' every video or stream I come across on Youtube related to fortnight. Also for some reason I'm grossed out by the weapons, skins and even that damn fortnight font I see in the thumbnails. Am unsubscribing from all youtubers that are throwing out nothing but Fortnight videos. (Actually even one video of that game is enough for me now to unsubscribe or click 'Not interested' on a Youtuber when they come in my suggestions)
