The current season of Fortnite has proved itself to be one of turmoil and vastly opposing opinions. First off, almost the entire community is unhappy with Season 6 of Chapter 2. A lot of pros and players have been calling this season the worst ever.
Recently, the iconic Fortnite pro and streamer, SypherPK, spoke up about this issue. He believes that this current season is not horrible. However, he voiced some serious concerns about the condition of the competitive aspect of the game. Moreover, Epic Games has started to warn pros personally to refrain from any association with wagers related to the game. With all that has been going on, it is not surprising that many pros have gradually walked away from the game.
Fortnite is one of the oldest Battle Royale titles and has roped in a lot of interesting new aspects to the genre. This is one of the reasons why despite being one of the oldest games of its kind, it still has some loyal fanbase. However, it is true that the game lacks in a lot of areas, especially the competitive aspect.

“That’s crazy, it’s almost like all the big streamers with somewhat of a personality have ventured off to different games because they realized that they’re not braindead Fortnite players with absolutely Zero… f***ing brain cells and only mechanics and they realized that they have a personality and they can venture off and play other games and still have a streamer career, you know?”
Tfue himself has made the jump to Minecraft. He mentions Ninja and Nickmercs, who have made the jump to other games as well. Although, Nickmercs did stream Fortnite this season, and apparently he loves it. But the fact remains that the competitive side of the game is pretty weak. Let us hope Epic Games manages to step up their game soon before Fortnite really dies out.
