We've realized there is legit confusion on whether Fortnite competitive rules allow for use of drop calculators, which have evolved from being static web sites to real-time tools connected to the game you’re in. This confusion stems from the current phrasing of our prohibition: "Using any kind of cheating device, program, or similar cheating method to gain a competitive advantage” from our official FNCS rules. We'll be updating this to reinforce that these devices, programs, and methods are prohibited if they have any access to the real-time state of the game being played (e.g. through memory, screen recording, screenshots, audio, network traffic, files, overlays). This will include overlays that feed real-time screen information from the Fortnite client to competitive advantage analysis tools. Whereas things like informational web pages that don't access the current game state are ok. Given the confusion on this, disqualification of these players was a mistake and the DQs will be removed from their record. The bad news: due to the tournament timing, the lobbies are now full for this event and it's too late for them to continue in the current tournament. All future use of these tools is banned if the tools have access to game state. fortnite.com/news/fortnite-…


Since the #SBMM changes in December fortnite has lost 400,000 average daily players. Even with the ACT 2 update it was still 300000 less. Coincidence? I think not, how long will @Fortnite ignore this before admitting the changes were a mistake? @EpicTofuChris @TimSweeneyEpic


We aren’t going to reset FNCS Major 1. It's too far along with the current participants. Reload Elite Series starts next Friday with finals May 17.
