Fortnite Champion Series, lessons and concerns from the past

Last season’s Fortnite Champion Series, while entertaining, was mired in controversy as a cheating scandal swept through the event. While there will always be some accusations of cheating in any high population competitive event, Season 3’s tournaments went so far as to have the cheaters themselves stream their cheats for an audience.

In addition to this, well known pros like Benjyfishy and Bugha also received accusations of collusion in the Fortnite Solos tournament. While Epic Games never issued anything more than a warning to either of them, they were never definitively able to clear their names, and as a result the controversy lingered.

This season’s Fortnite Champion Series has a lot to make up for. While it will serve as the definitive competitive event of the season, it also has the unspoken task of attempting to regain the trust of the Fortnite competitive community.

Competitive Fortnite players have already been outspoken about their grievances regarding the game, both during and between competitive events. It remains to be seen if this season can achieve its goals, and all that’s left to do is wait and see.
