During another match, shroud got in The Baller and started moving around the map. \u201cWhat am I playing?,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is what these people are playing. This is the Fortnite World Cup. These items have to be removed, right?\u201d He also said that the item \u201ca goddamn joke.\u201d Related: New Fortnite dev update blog is coming today, Epic says Shroud\u2019s criticism toward The Baller aligns with the competitive Fortnite community\u2019s concerns about the vehicle being too strong in the late game\u2014it allows bad players to stay protected long enough to get points for surviving during tournaments. Shroud\u2019s reaction to the state of Fortnite was negative, but most comments were from a competitive perspective. He played competitive Counter-Strike for a long time and competed in a few Apex Legends tournaments recently, so it\u2019s only natural for his takes to focus on how competitive-ready a game is. Shroud has been playing several first-person shooters and battle royale games during his livestream, mostly Escape from Tarkov, Apex, and PUBG. His Fortnite stream last night was an unusual addition to the list of games he plays, but even so, he experimented with the new Avengers Limited Time Mode, Endgame, and played a few standard matches as well. Dot Esports has reached out to the streamer for comment about the inclusion of Fortnite in his streaming schedule.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125238"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/858"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125238\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125238"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=125238"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=125238"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=125238"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=125238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Shroud\u2019s reaction to the state of Fortnite was negative, but most comments were from a competitive perspective. He played competitive Counter-Strike for a long time and competed in a few Apex Legends tournaments recently, so it\u2019s only natural for his takes to focus on how competitive-ready a game is. Shroud has been playing several first-person shooters and battle royale games during his livestream, mostly Escape from Tarkov, Apex, and PUBG. His Fortnite stream last night was an unusual addition to the list of games he plays, but even so, he experimented with the new Avengers Limited Time Mode, Endgame, and played a few standard matches as well.
