Fortnite Competitive announced the long-awaited hype train for which broadcasts for FNCS Major 3 are starting from this Sunday, and people are losing it already. The tweet confirmed that EU Groups start at 16:45 CET, followed by NAC Groups at 4:45 pm ET. Come on, you remember you have that FNCS Coin Emoticon sitting in your locker, right? Group stages are on the 20, 26, and 27th of July, so get those dates in your calendar, or better yet, set 50 alarms on your phone just like here.
Now, the real question flooding the replies everywhere- where do I watch this? Some players might be impatient asking that question outright. A few others assumed, “Twitch drop” is the way to go. “@mohamed_crr” chimed with “Twitch drops probably,” which pretty much makes sense. Epic has been doing that kind of thing for the longest, so it would have been nice if they put some clarity in that.
Let us not forget the old PC-vs-console debate- good grief! @volxyzfnbr then shouted FOR PC CASH CUPS FULL CAPS, followed by “YOU GUYS ARE A DISGRACE.” To add fuel to the fire, @ECLIPS_VC said: “but still no PC CASH CUPS,” as if that were a personal betrayal. Then @Slovke1xsws jumped in with, “Is squid cash cup for PC??” probably because everyone shares that confusion. Console players? Yeah, they’re just chilling.
But wait; some replies fighting the fight were utter chaos. @OGBlackWidowFan demands an “Obama FNCS skin” (??), while @TheFutureBunny celebrates since the dates line up with their birthday. Respect to them. Then, with a penchant for old movement animations typed as if passionately, @U9283847463722 entered that madness. @pickleseas threw the brutal comeback: “get a job nigga.” Ouch.
And that FNCS Coin Emoticon, yep? @27sxlarr thought it should have been a backbling, and honestly, a good point. @AlEmViMe_ begged for the FNCS pickaxe to go to the shop, with @solarrfv wanting just the coin as a cosmetic. Epic, take notes; your team is working on designs for you.
And servers? @ahhllux threw shade with “Eastern time (ET) and no east comp servers nice,” because nothing says “competitive integrity” quite like lagging in the middle of the tournament. @polarzy1x called the game crickets, which is pretty much how we’re feeling. Meanwhile, @defnotserpent just lost it over NAC getting love but NAE being ignored, typing so loud you’d swear they’d just witnessed a crime.
What’s the verdict? FNCS Major 3 is for sure happening, drama is peak, and replies are half hype, half salty, and full Obama requests. Will Epic come through and make PC cash cups? Who knows. What is clear is that Fortnite’s competitive scene never stops, and neither do its players. Get ready to catch the broadcast come Sunday, grab that emoticon, and maybe even pray for solo cash cups comeback. Or an Obama skin. Either way.
