Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am Audience Left Feeling the Heat

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the first official Fortnite tournament being run by Epic Games. Launching their foray into the esports arena, the Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am is set to kick off whatever plans Epic has to help build the esports scene around Fortnite. The only problem seems to be the location chosen for the event.

Don’t get me wrong, the stadium looks amazing, fully decked out with Fortnite colors and decorations, a custom built stage that allows the fans to see all the competitors at once, separate areas for the casters to conduct their interviews, everything points to a lot of effort on the part of Epic Games to make sure this event is one to remember. It just seems to be a little warm right now.

With a temperature range hovering around 81F (27C), and a humidity of about 44%, the audience is feeling the heat right now, especially since it looks like a large portion of the audience is sitting in direct sunlight. The audience is feeling the heat enough for Joel McHale, one of the celebrities participating in the match, to notice during his interview.

All problems aside, this is certainly the event to watch right now, especially if you’re a fan of any of the celebrities or pros participating right now.
