It seems it’s never a peaceful day in the world of Pro-Fortnite, with coL Hogman taking to Twitter to call out OpTic Gaming’s CouRage over comments made during the Fall Skirmish event yesterday. During the match, CouRage can be seen on stream talking to his playing partner, stating that “Complexity is good, but we’re better”. Those words are apparently enough for coL Hogman, Complexity Fortnite team captain, who took to Twitter to call out CouRage and demand a 1v1 money match.
Hey @CouRageJD, someone sent me this clip of you saying you're better than the coL players in yesterday's tourney. I bet you $1,000 you can't beat me in a best of 5 in playground 1 vs. 1's.

It seems the level of seriousness between these two players varies wildly, with CouRage continuing to poke fun at Hogman, stating: “Oh I was totally gassing up my teammate to keep him confident. But I also 100% believe if I scrimmed everyday and dedicated my all to just competing I’d be clapping them cheeks each time you saw me on the map”, whilst Hogman’s response seems to indicate he’s deadly serious about the match, replying: “Again with the talking man... it’s truly your gift. How about this, you set a date and get all the scrim practice you need, and we’ll see who’s “clapping them cheeks.” You in?”

You in?
CouRage seemed to have the last laugh however, replying to the banter with a final statement: “It ain’t that serious chief. I’m going to keep streaming. You keep improving. At the end of the day we still outplaced you yesterday”.

Regardless of whether either player is actually angry, or just playing it up for the banter, a 1v1 match between two of the best Fortnite players out there is always going to be an interesting thing to see. Hopefully these players can sort out their differences, although if they choose to do so on the battlefield, we’re not going to complain.
