Imagine a heart attack moment. The FNCS NA Major 3 finals has concluded, and the winners Peterbot, Ritual, and Coldfv got their championship victory by a mere THREE-POINT difference; yes, you read that right. Three. Freaking. Points. Such finishes either stir you to scream at your TV or to fall out of your chair. Or both.
The threat made by the Fortnite Competitive official Twitter account was: now champions! The trio was given the best welcomes, and the results link was shared. But wait! The truth is in the comments…
Fans went absolutely berserk. It was dubbed by some the most intense endgame ever, while others… well, let’s say, everyone was not really in joy.
Sam:/ openly called competitive Fortnite “the most boring esport to watch” because of all trading (oof). At the same time, Buffguyyy28! feared Click would suffer a “heartache” if he doesn’t win an FNCS anytime soon. Drama, much?
The hype was more than just about the win but a lot more about HOW they won. Collin Chan said of the final game, “as exciting as it can get”; JohnElFenix went on in all caps, “BEST GAME 12 EVERRRRR.” Dreamless sums it up in the best way with “ABSOLUTE FUCKING CINEMA,” which… big mood.
And of course, it must be followed by conspiracy theories. Carlosjav6 wasn’t buying it and questioned the storm movement, saying it favors Peterbot’s team (👀), while ECLIPSE VC declared outright, “corruption at its peek.” Yikes. Meanwhile, C1ndy went full-troll mode by calling the winners “a bunch of nerds” while stating the win wasn’t “something to be proud of.” Harsh.
Let’s remind ourselves what the true stakes are right now. Rey 🧪 noted the loyal payout gap: 2nd place earned $100k LESS than the champs. That’s a lot of V-Bucks.
What follows next? Players like DX Yenssney are already itching to know about the next season (August 8th, apparently), while they gush about fast-track solo and duo cups. The grind never ends.
What can be said for sure is that the FNCS Major 3 finale was anything but predictable. Whether you enjoyed or despised or thought it was rigged, it’s hard to say that means everyone was talking about it. If nothing else, that alone is proof that the competitive Fortnite scene still knows how to deliver a nail-biter.
Now, who’s down for Global?
