Fortnite pro Qrei showed the world a new strategy in the Battle Royale competitive scene by not picking any fights during the tourney. The entire strategy is to stay in the storm during the match and heal through the entire duration before dying and getting placements points.

Qrie and his teammates shocked the community when they were placed high up during the FNCS Qualifiers this month. They have been doing this since Chapter 2 Season 2 when they reached the finals of the tourney without getting a single kill.

However, Fortnite seems to have taken matters into its own hands and nerfed the essentials Qrei required to heal during the storm, which might mark an end to the era of no elimination competition in Fortnite.

Epic Games nerfs campfire in Fortnite competitive

The strategy that Polish pro Qrei and his teammates used was to stock pile the campfire with wood and heal in the storm continuously. However, a recent hotfix has changed the requirement of wood from 200 to 600, rendering Qrei's method useless.

Professional players are only allowed 500 wood in tournaments. Qrei is clear that this nerf has been targeted towards his team for using the heal-off strategy with which they were gaining victory and popularity in the community. The Polish pro posted on Twitter after the above nerf took place in Fortnite.

However, Qrei might be back as he posted another video where he got really close to winning the tourney by using another strategy.

This time his team has figured out how to use the Reboot vans in the game perfectly to bring back teammates while gathering all the loot every time so that one player can keep healing and rebooting.

Qrei is a believer in non-violence and he thinks that the Fortnite community can be shown multiple ways to enjoy the game without engaging in the orthodox ways of gunfighting.

While it seems as though things have become tough for the healer pro, Qrie's fans expect he will be back with another strategy soon that will surprise all.
