Fortnite has been one of the leaders in competitive battle royale games. The game, which is known for its epic collaborations and events and has gained a massive fan following. The game expanded its reach into the Esports front with tournaments and competitions of the battle royale game.

Moreover, Fortnite conducted its very first World Cup in 2019. Many top franchises competed for the precious trophy. Sentinels were the solo category champions that year with Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf taking home $3 Million dollars. But that was 3 years ago and the scene has changed. Furthermore, Sentinels CEO Rob Moore announced the franchise’s exit from the game.

Especially, because the battle royale game has not yet given any indication about the World Championship coming back. Maintaining a team is quite costly, and franchises like Sentinels who have multiple Esports teams find it difficult to incorporate a game that is not giving them much revenue.

These franchises mainly get monetary earnings from their exposure in these competitions. And as teams are quite expensive to maintain, it is logical for them to disband an inactive roster. Fortnite, even though is a popular game, its Esports front has not been up to the mark.

So, now we can see the champ Bugha going into 2023 without a franchise. Surely, he would be taken under by some other franchise because of his enormous reputation.

And as for The Sentinels, even though they are taking a step back from Fortnite, they will be seen active in other games. They have gotten a partnership with Riot’s Valorant and will be seen playing in the American League of the game. Sentinels are also doing well in Halo and Apex Legends.

Maybe soon, we would be able to see more teams leaving the Fortnite front. Only time will tell what the Future has in store for the competitive leagues of Fortnite.
