100 Thieves member Jack ‘Courage’ Dunlop acknowledges that Fortnite, as an Esports title, has everything to click. He believes viewers would increase considerably if the spectator client were to improve. This is to say the spectators watching the matchup lag at times, making it impossible for them to see plays.
main issue is that the servers after 3 years still can't handle end games. If anything they seem like they're getting worse and worse each patch from just a viewing standpoint. and also people team in more than half the tourneys that are being held with 0 repercussions

There are obviously other issues with the game. Cheaters being one and server issues being the other major one. Cloakzy came in with a response of his own and addressed a real matter that another streamer brought to the community’s attention last day.
Nick Eh 30 also pointed out how 4 players teamed up during the FNCS. The streamer tweeted the issue after replaying the finals. The accused four landed at the same point and did not take a single shot at each other. It was a simple case of them pushing one to the top and this has become pretty common in Fortnite, especially during tournaments.
A Fortnite caster replied to Courage saying the LAN system is different from the replay system being used during the ongoing FNCS. The current world pandemic has a major role here, and every tournament is held back.

Yeah I know it’s tough with how it is during COVID but man…
Fortnite was a near perfect spectator system with how awesome all these online tournaments are with twitch/YouTube drops on would be insane. I think it’s totally possible which is why it’s frustrating

Courage didn’t disagree but he was of the opinion that there is scope for improvement.
