Several streamers quit Fortnite for other games, such as Call of Duty: Warzone a few months back. The reason behind the switch was, they believed, that Fortnite was getting boring and slow to stream.
These players jumped ship but encountered a plethora of problems with Warzone too. The SBMM made it difficult for higher skilled players, and most of all streamers to play a game casually.
More importantly, hackers plagued Warzone, making it difficult for Infinity Ward to come up with an effective solution.
His first game back, NICKMERCS was enjoying his time out there. He revealed that he was rusty, but was seen genuinely enjoying his return to the Epic Games BR.
He also joined SypherPK for a duos game who has been the force behind getting the finest names back to Fortnite, which also includes Ninja.
