These complications were at its peak during the Faze Elite Cup matches yesterday, when they faced a lot of hitches and lags because of it.

Why Epic Games need to fix this issue urgently

A lot of pro players and streamers have complained about Fortnite’s server issues all the time. The problem has become so out of hand that many of them have even quit to play other titles like Valorant or Warzone. This causes a lot of problems for the developers because losing these creators causes a huge domino effect. Many of them have a larger viewer base of casual players who bring hype and excitement to the various in-game events. With a dent in the game’s viewership base, the company could lose a lot of money because of that.
