Stay ConnectedThe only podcast focused solely on improving in Fortnite Battle Royale! Every week we’re going to be looking at tips/techniques/strategies specific to the game (building, movement, weapon selection, etc) as well as more wide-reaching ideas that can be applied to esports and competitive play in general (things like dealing with tilt, deliberate practice, mentality/mindset, etc).

This week, we're facing a Matt shortage - it's just Bennett and Zander running the show! This week we've got a ton of new weapons, SMG nerfs, and building changes to talk about, as well as the format of Epic's Summer Skirmish Week 3. For the last point, we bring in Rogue's @00flour, who played with DrLupo this week and took home a $6500 prize for their 10 kill game.

After a week off for GuardianCon and a delayed post this week, we're back! This week we start talking about season 5 and the Epic Summer Skirmish series, including conversation on the 2nd weekend's Pub Stomp format - should an event with $100k or more on the line be cross platform when the experience can be so different on each?

PLAYGROUND MODE IS OUT! We freak out over how great it is for a bit before bringing back OKSteel of Team Wawa's Bootcamp, joined this time by teammate ReddCinema, to get a pro take on how to use Playground Mode to bring your game to the next level. Btw, just another reminder that the three of us will be at GuardianCon in Tampa, FL next weekend! Let us know if you'll be around or give us a yell if you see us.

Zander's back after abandoning us for 2 weeks! With summer starting to really turn up the heat, we talk about how to approach the game when you either feel like you're getting burned out and take some time off or you're forced to take an extended break - how do you get back into a game you haven't played in a week or two without getting tilted at your own rusty skills? By the way, the three of us will be at GuardianCon in Tampa, FL just 2 weeks from now - let us know if you'll be around by getting in touch!

As if to give us the perfect material for a sequel episode, Epic recently released news that they would be taking an active role in defining the way that Fortnite is played, including changing current/future metas and working to increase viable playstyles. Let's talk about it! BTW, Twitter is BACK!

Epic came in hot during E3 with both a professionally produced Pro-Am that showed off their spectator modes and custom matchmaking as well as a BIG announcement about the future of Fortnite Competitive Play. We break down the future of Fortnite broadcast events and improvements that could be made as well as why a lack of Fortnite team franchising should matter to you.

With Epic's most recent update being partly in response to their recognition of certain strategies and weapons being overused, we thought it could be interesting to take a look at how game developers can help, harm, or remain neutral with regards to the competitive and casual metas when introducing new changes. We also talk a bit about the slew of new BR titles coming out, including one of the most recent, Realm Royale (spoiler alert, it's pretty fun, but in a different way).

This week we touch on our rebranding, our official Twitter launch (@Fortnite_Champs), and the 2v2 Fortnite Friday tournaments before moving on to the main event - an interview between KP5ive and our special guest host Sport Psych Steve! We called in an expert for this one, so buckle up and get ready to really get inside the mind of a pro.

Between the announcement of $100,000,000 for esports and a HUGE State of Development update, there's a lot to cover - hear our thoughts on all of it! Follow MYNAMEISBENNETT, zombiezander, and RunsOnMT - @mynameisbennet1 @zombiezander @runsonmt or email - fortnitechampionspodcast@gmail.com
Hitting episode 20 isn't a big deal to us, so like the title says we definitely didn't put anything fancy into this episode. Just a regular intro leading directly into some solid discussion about the direction that competitive/professional events seem to be going, along with some compare/contrast between independent event organizers (ESL, MLG, etc) and company run (aka Riot Games and LoL). Plus Fortnite Fortnights and all that jazz.
