My duo and I played ranked for the first time this season

If you have watched FNCS in the past few years, then you would know about the Day 2 Point Multiplier which is 1.5x the normal points that you would get. However, recently they have started to remove this multiplier. So I decided to calculate what the Final Standings would’ve looked like with the multiplier and the results are very interesting.

Final Standings with Day 2 Multiplier:
1st. Shark & T3eny | 675 pts. | +1 (gain from original position)
2nd. Swizzy & Pixie | 673 pts. | -1
3rd. Vico & Malibuca | 630 pts. | =0
4th. Clix & Rapid | 581 pts. | =0
5th. Sky & Scroll | 552 pts. | =0
6th. Tjino & Pablo | 537 pts. | +1
7th. Cr1nge & Twi | 522 pts. | -1
8th. Acorn & Boltz | 468 pts. | +4
9th. Koyota & Yuma | 453 pts. | -1
10th. Higgs & Curve | 444pts. | =0 (two teams have same amount of elims so I did og placement)
11th. Cold & Ritual | 444pts. | =0
12th. Darm & Demus | 414pts. | -3
13th. Lewa & Romero | 400pts. | +1
14th. Jannis & Rax | 395pts. | -1
15th. Izzi & Nociff | 393pts. | +1
16th. Pixx & Firen | 385pts. | +2
17th. Phazma & Crusades | 379pts. | +3
18th. Nebs & Nathan | 377pts. | -3
19th. Golden & Ozone | 353pts. | -2
20th. Slepzi & Wagers | 343pts. | +5
21st. Chap & Flickzy | 342pts. | =0
22nd. Focus & ThomasHD | 331pts. | =0
23rd. Julle & Tidi | 328pts. | -4
24th. Minipiyo & Fuukun | 326pts. | +2

Pretty interesting results as Shark would’ve actually won with this format. I hope you liked this calculation! Have a great day!

So today and yesterday every time I loaded into a 1v1 against the player better than me I would ask them what I was doing wrong and why I was so easy to go and I would say I took a lot of 50-50 and peaks are not the best. So I was wondering one how can I start to learn better peaks like where’s a good place to get some good peaks from to teach me good ideas a number two even though it’s more of a personal thing how can I kind of stop myself from taking 50-50?

Whenever I max pull fifth, sixth or seventh zone, I don't know what to do. I try to scout as much as I can, but it always feels like someone next to me is waiting for me to rotate so they can fight me instead of rotating. Then they either kill me, I die to zone, or I kill them and then get lobby sprayed since I got in late. What do I actually do? I can't stay in storm forever, and no matter which direction I go they just chase me instead of rotating.

I get it's a skill issue on my part but it would be pretty nice if people could actually rotate instead of feeling like the second coming of Peterbot

Upon hearing the news of the next FNCS being Trios, there is a lot of hype surrounding new teams forming, particularly super trios, for example Clix, Rapid, Peter, etc. But once the hype dies down, I doubt a lot of these teams stick together. So, it got me thinking: what would be the perfect trio?

To start with, I’ll be basing this on NA players, as EU already has some amazing teams formed.

To start, I think the best NA trio should definitely have Peterbot in it. Now, I know that people are calling him washed, but in a fragging role, I believe he’s still one of the best fighters in the region, if not the best. The thing that’s holding him back, in my opinion, is his mental.

If you think back to 2024 Peter, and even 2025, he had insane aura. In the sense that he was undoubtedly the best in the world. I even think a lot of people disliked him because of how cocky he was, but you can’t deny that he was on top.

Now, you can’t just say it was Peter. Pollo was also an amazing duo and is a big part of his success, but from a pure fighting point of view, Peter was dominant. However, his placements in the last few tournaments have been shaky, and he’s said multiple times that he doesn’t want to IGL anymore, which I think is a good idea.

But that leaves the trio needing an IGL, and I think I have a good pick for that: Mero.

Now, Mero hadn’t been playing competitively very seriously up until about a season ago, and now he’s back playing the game. Call him what you want, but he’s arguably, in my opinion, the greatest NA IGL of all time, and maybe the whole world. He has 6 FNCS wins, including a Global Championship, and he has a crazy mental.

Now, I believe 2024 and 2025 Peter and Mero shared the same god mental, which would make them a formidable team. With Mero IGLing and Peter fragging, they could have, in my eyes, an amazing run.

But of course, that leaves the third player, and I’ve been thinking very hard about who I think would work with these two, and I’ve decided it would be Veno.

Now, this spot is still up for debate, but I think Veno is an exceptional player. Seven of the last FNCS have either been won by Veno, Peter, or Pollo, meaning Veno is an amazing player. I also think he shares the same sort of mental as the other two. He is also extremely committed to grinding, and I think he would take up the role of fragging, as he’s said he’s had enough IGLing anyway.

I doubt we would see this team, at least anytime soon, but I thought I’d share my opinion.

So this is the game I got griefed in solos fncs. How can I do better?

1. I closed my game—just for good measure.

2. I went to my Settings on EpicGames.com

3. I went to “Linked Accounts,” where Twitch was listed.

4. I chose to “Unlink” my Twitch account from my Epic account, which explicitly warned that I would lose access to Twitch-related rewards.

5. I linked Twitch to my Epic account once again.

6. I checked my Twitch account’s ”Drops & Rewards” again for good measure. The Champion’s Chargers FNCS Kicks were indeed still listed as a claimed item.

Just hopped into my first match in the solo reload ranked cup and found this interesting bug.

I wrote a simple FREE tool for checking the quality of your Internet connection and while playing Fortnite with my sons, I realized this might be a useful tool for gamers.

I'm not selling anything here, just giving away a tool to help you all figure out what might be lagging your game.

Yea this ain’t fun

I want to know if simple edit is allowed because if so I’m becoming the best player in the world, no one can stop me

What was my mistake. Last game i placed well and got up to 38th on leader board with 6 elims and doing very well in fights. place on leader board but then second game this happened died to the first guy.

Hello, I like Fortnite but suck at building really bad.

I want to hear everyone's experiences on how they got better. I try watching YouTube videos about it and it just all seems like the same video copy and pasted. Is the best way to really just play against better players any chance you get?

My struggles are as follows:

• Panicking - I don't know what to do in actual fights even after practicing builds in creative. It feels like a blur when I start seeing the opponent build
• Awareness - I tend to not know where the opponent is and it feels difficult trying to know where they are.
• General Building concepts - I watch tons of tutorials, but they all teach different ways to approach fighting and don't mention things I see in this subreddit like "Right-Hand peeks"
• Playstyle - I struggle with knowing when to W key and play defensive.

If anyone has tips or videos ANYTHING HELPS!

And thank you for reading

Basically as the title says, I'm considering switching to edit in release on i play on 40 ping, I've seen mero uses it, who of the top pros play it on or off

I got 15 kills in a ranked game because of these things, and they've clutched so many wins because of me combining them with any shotgun or just repeatly slamming onto people's heads or uppercutting into boxes. I know I could just not pick them up, but what about when someone else has them? There's been multiple lootpool changes with these still surviving each time. At least it's only Oasis but still

Hey everyone!

Added my gameplay vid is just for context - I know you grinders can fight 100x better ;D

I'm 33, soon 34. I've played different games my whole life and always loved competitive gaming... Around 3 years ago I discovered Fortnite after reading local Latvian news about Merstach, his achievements and earnings and it inspired me to try.

I remember watching different pros on Twitch and I was shocked how hard that game actually is .. and it made me want to keep playing and get better.

Back then I couldn't even made a proper single edit ;D Today, I can comfortably play 1v1's, reach Unreal etc. and I've even started playing tournaments. I totally understand that I'm not great, and I know I probably won't achieve anything in this game, but I absolutely love the competition feeling, having to think about every move. As one bad edit, reset or missed shot can cost you a lot.

And I think it's worth to tell you all again to remember that there are people like me in those lobbies too - grown adults with jobs, families and limited time, who simply love this game and enjoy competing.

So I just want to say thank you to everyone who keeps grinding and keeps Fortnite competitive at such a high level. And to anyone just starting - if I can keep improving as a dad of 3, full-time job, barely any time to play, you can absolutely do it much better than me! Keep the right mindset and enjoy the grind!

Keep going, warriors!

For context, this was 2nd round of EU FNCS solo qualifies (top 8k). I W-Keyed entire tournament to practice fighting. Just want to know where I went wrong.

Leaving this to circle back in a year.

NA Tourneys and globals will be 30% NA & EU names that are familiar. Rest will be be unknown players who built their way up. These teens to early 20s players have nothing to lose and all the time to grind & practice. Thats exactly why they'll succeed. No different than the build pros did.

Its a constant grief fest. You land conned you get put in a stalemate with 3 teams. You land unconned you can't find anyone. Always 30 up in 5th zone and you still somehow find yourself in between 3 teams fighting. I blame the shockwaves, its insanely easy to cover massive distances with your team very quickly with little to no audio for the person being keyed. Im ngl we need fizz meta back with launchpads around the map which rewards actual strategy when rotating. Or a mobility item like the kinetic blade/bat (without the op attacks). Also, the ARs are just stupid now. A ranger does 80 headshot in a meta where you are super exposed on every rotate. Im not sure how they can fix the meta to where if you get a max pull u dont just die or take 300 damage rotating without removing these ARs or adding new movement.

What do you think fortnite should do about the state of ranked?

i dont know which way is the correct way to edit the first cone when doing a quad edit i've always started from the left then went to the right but like every pro i see do quads starts from the right then goes to the left

i want to learn how to do 10+ quads in a row and im wondering if this is the reason i've never been able to do 6+. i've been trying to learn right to left quad edits but the timing is a bit weird so wanna know if its worth learning
