Are PC Fortnite players the best compared to Mobile and Console?

The community usually debates that the platform they play on requires the most skill. PC players enjoy the liberty of precise movements and aim provided by the comfort of mouse and keyboard, but they are dismissive of other platforms like consoles and mobile. They usually suggest that these platforms use aim assist that tramples on the integrity of fair competition.

The debate has been sparked time and time again between all the platforms. Shroud, who is a retired professional CS: GO player, has time and time again addressed this question.  He firmly believes that skills are transferable across any platform as being a professional player takes more than just good aim. A good grasp of the mechanics of the game, map knowledge, and so on decides which player is truly the best.

The explanation Shroud has provided is rather sound and logical and the above video backs it resoundingly. The Arena mode of Fortnite literally connects gamers from all platforms to compete against one another. If people from each platform are able to keep up against each other on the game mode, then it is safe to say professional players are truly skilled people, no matter which platform they compete on.
