If you’re skipping through all the essentials above and want to jump straight to the now, then let me tell you that you have truly missed a vibe or woman being present there to soak in those awesome Fortnite competitive thrills. Yesterday was a boom of emotion; tell me, cinema? I say yes; it was pure goosebumps.

The official Twitter account of Fortnite sums it nicely when it commented, “Yesterday was a movie 🥹,” and, to be honest, I’m not seeing any lies.

For those catching up with the information train, the FNCS Pro-Am is where giants of Fortnite-pros, streamers, and celebs-enter into high-stake duos tournaments. And this year? Damn! The clips making rounds have been pure insanity.

From clutch moments to near tears, this event seemed to have had it all. Some serious drama, all insane skill, and then people surviving down to 1 HP? You bet that’s happened.

Pressing play on the tweet with the highlight video; if you have not clicked it yet, what are you doing? Go watch it. Right now. We wait. Checks watch.

You’re back? Very good then. Now you get the picture. The way some players were hauled around was just… unreal. How does one build, edit, and laser a guy down in a 0.3-second timeframe? Because the rest of us are still learning how to pull up the floor without falling from our own ramps!

Then there were the best reactions ever. Some of the pros were absolutely LOSING it. Yelling, leaping out of chairs, the whole nine. You’d think they just won the lottery, not a virtual Victory Royale. But hey, with thousands of dollars and bragging rights on the line, you’d be excited too.

The replies to the tweet? Empty for now, which is weird since there was a buzz about this event over Twitter all day. Maybe everybody is still high off an adrenaline crash. Or more likely, they’re too busy re-watching VODs to type.

If this is what esports Fortnite will look like in 2023—buckle your seatbelts. The skill gap widens, the plays go crazier, and the reactions? Chef’s kiss. Peak content.

So on that thought, sleeping through it is a sin. Because next time? You’re going to wish you were there for that. No cap.
