This isn’t a big deal, really: The major ones in Fortnite esports whined nary a peep when they twitted. Welcome to the party! “They just wanted to play all the games 😉” said the official Fortnite Competitive account with an “¯\_(ツ)_/¯”. Names of some finalists followed such as @acornfn, @Ajerss, @Pollofn6. Not much drama, no reading cryptic hints, just pure “vibes.” And honestly? That’s kinda refreshing.
With it was a hype video-another probably made of highlights and behind-the-scenes scenes of grinding before finals-by these players. Here’s the thing-it scored a grand fat duck: zero replies, not even one comment.
Pretty strange, huh? It is usually loud in the Fortnite comp-hyped fans shouting at the players and the players shouting back, memes flying the whole way through-but not this time? Crickets. Maybe everyone’s just too busy practicing. Or maybe the tweet was just that chill it left everyone speechless.
They’re not even offering stats-no trash talking; only a jokey reference to the grind. Almost like the Fortnite community is saying, “Yeah, these people are crazy, but you know, they’re also just having fun?” More of this we need in esports, for they all live-thou shall see-but at the end of the day, it is all about playing games. All of them.
Heard no replies, meaning heard nothing about picking apart the drama, and that’s cool. Some tweets are just tweets-a little hype, a little humor, and a catch you later. We will wait until finals to see if @acornfn, @Ajerss, and @Pollofn6 brings that relaxed-yet-deadly energy.
Side note: How do you even play all the games before finals? Do they sleep? Do they eat? Are they robots? Questions that may never be answered. But hey, “If it works, it works.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Finals are just around the corner so prepare yourselves.
Oh, and did you catch the latest gaming clip? It’s a must-watch!
