Hold on to your seat belts, Fortnite fans, because Epic Games is blowing those fireworks in broad daylight. The rumor mill is just spinning faster than a default trying to crank 90s, with this latest buzz about MORE Icon Cups, and just wait for it-new skins attached to them. Yeah, you heard that right, and the leaks are suggesting we might be getting a Clix skin. Now contemplate that.
So what are these Icon Cups, you ask? Pure ignorance would be the only answer to that question (where on earth have you been?). These are short competitive events where players can earn exclusive cosmetics for high placement on the leaderboard-they’re basically gold tickets to flex in the lobby for free. Past cups featured all the big names as Ninja, Lachlan, and Loserfruit, all having their own unique styling. And now, drawing even farther, Epic seems to tease blah overrated THE MORE!!!
The tweet from the Fortnite team (as of course, they are the ones doing the stirring) just casually offers up MORE ICON CUPS as if they weren’t about to set the whole community into a frenzy. And there comes Clix. If you ever know someone in the competitive scene in-depth, then he is one of those players who builds like he’s on an art exhibition. Dude’s cracked. A skin for him? That’ll be like handing the king a crown of gold.
Now, let us talk about skins. Icon skins are definitely not just re-skinned known models; they are made entirely for the personality like Ninja’s having signature blue hair and kunai, Loserfruit’s having that iconic fruit hat. Much speculation surrounds contents of Clix’s supposed skin but certain almost wild features are guaranteed, possibly even a built-in emote where he cranks a triple edit before wiping the floor with you. Just sayin’.
But that’s not exactly the pièce de résistance. Timing is. Epic really loves to ruin all chances of us ever guessing when. By this assessment, it says THIS WEEK, being anything from tomorrow to technically a week from now, but knowing them, they will shadow-drop it pretty much mid-week while nobody’s even gotten through their last update.
Competitive something, don’t you think? Icon Cups generally means chaos in the lobby where every other tryhard all of a sudden wants to believe he’s a wannabe pro. So if you want to grind that Clix skin (if it even exists), better get those fingers warmed. Sweat will be unreal.
So what’s next? Keep an eye on Fortnite socials because if Epic loves anything at all, it’s teasing something and watching us freak out. More cups, more skins, more chaos. And quite frankly? We are here for it.
