The coronavirus pandemic, coupled with the almost complete lack of feedback from Epic Games, has significantly shaken the prospects for the development of Fortnite as an esports discipline. Many well-known organizations have refused to support Fortnight teams.
However, after a certain period of time, things began to improve and many esports organizations, such as Cloud 9, Liquid, Team Solomid, began to improve the terms of contracts with players. Moreover, new players began to appear on the market, actively supporting young and more experienced players.
Recently, the extremely skillful player Coop was signed by the French organization G2.
Fortnight has become significantly more attractive to investors since the fourth season of the FNCS. This is not surprising, since the tournament managed to attract the attention of more than 150 thousand new players.
One of the main reasons for this development was the change in the meta. Season X was at the height of the popularity of brutes, which clearly did not contribute to the development of esports. In addition, the console prize pool has been significantly increased for the last season, bringing in a significant number of new players.
