Epic Games has found itself on the crosshair of console pros because of recent changes to Fortnite Championship Series (FNCS). The gaming studio revealed that it is going to remove console from FNCS from now on.

This act has now put them on the hit list of console pros, who have threatened to abuse them should they win at FNCS 2021.
Professional Fortnite players from PC took an unnecessary jab at the console community after the FNCS removal. The list of pro players who celebrated the news includes Mr Savage, Benjyfishy, Bucky, and Yung Calc. This has once again stoked the fires of war between PC and console debate, as the both communities are at each other’s throat again.

The conversation summarised that the higher player count in PC compared to console has nothing to do with the prize pool. The former pro player seemed to agree with the opinion that playing on PC takes way more skill than to play on consoles.
“I think PC players have a much harder competition. I am not gonna lie, yeah console players they’re good, but I just think that PC players just deserve way more. It is definitely worth the switch, as you just get 10 times better as a player and the switch is definitely worth it.”
