@JakeSucky @anasfnbr @MrBeast @FortniteGame Personally, pros and creators should have been banned from the tournament imo – skill gap, team and connection definition is a big factor. This man has won literally like a $400,000 tournament in the past, but a difficult task to accomplish. GGs was fun.@JakeSucky @anasfnbr @MrBeast @FortniteGame Personally pros and creators should have been kicked out of the tournament imo – lack of skills, gearing and connection definition all play a big factor. This man has won literally like a $400,000 tournament in the past, but a difficult task to accomplish. GGs, that was fun.
