The Fortnite Championship Series (FNCS) Finals<\/a> took place on 29th and 30th May 2021. In the European finals, players again had to compete against not only with their world-class opposition but also even more frightening foes: Lag and latency. The FNCS has a history of poor server performance since all the way back to the 2019 World Cup. Therefore, while it isn’t surprising pro Fortnite players experienced lag due to servers, it is shocking that Epic Games still haven’t fixed the issue, especially with $3 million USD on the line.<\/p>\n

During one of the heats, you can see one FNCS Finals competitor being shot behind a ramp he just put down but due to the laggy nature of the servers, he still got downed.<\/p>\n

As the player went down, he said: “Like this game is a f$%king joke” signalling his frustration with the laggy servers.<\/p>\n
