Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am Interview With Dillon Francis & IIJERiCHOII Takes an Awkward Turn

The first match in the Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am has concluded, and the teams took the brief break in between the games to either have a drink, stretch their legs, or talk tactics with their team mates and friends. A few teams were pulled aside for the inevitable post-match interviews, to give the fans watching at home a taste of how the pros, and their celebrity partners, thought the game went, as well as any plans they have for the upcoming matches.

At least one interview probably had Epic Games wishing they just ran ads instead, with American EDM artist Dillon Francis, and his duo partner and streamer IIJERiCHOII, being asked for their thoughts on how the first match went, given their early exit. The answer, well, you can see for yourself.

A joke that probably went over the heads of most in the audience and watching at home, but one that nevertheless caught the attention of a few people, as the camera was quick to cut away for a moment. Though the interview would continue, it was clear that Francis was containing himself from then on, opting to spend much of the time stifling his own laughter.

The first match itself was won by YouTuber NoahJ456, with more games to come. For a breakdown of how the first match went, check out our recap, here, and for more news from the Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am, see our piece on the audience left feeling the heat, here.
