CouRage Voices His Support for Fortnite Summer Skirmish Co-Caster

OpTic Gaming content creator CouRage is no stranger to the world of professional esports casting, as he was a former member of the Call of Duty World League broadcast team and quickly became a fan favorite caster in the professional Call of Duty scene. While CouRage retired from casting Call of Duty full time during the 2018 CWL season for Call of Duty: WWII, he made his return to the world of competitive gaming casting during the latest edition of the $8,000,000 Fortnite Summer Skirmish Series where he was partnered with Epic Games employee Zeke for two $500,000 duo tournaments. 

Many members of the Fortnite community were extremely pleased with the talent, passion and knowledge that CouRage brought to the Fortnite Summer Skirmish broadcast, but others felt that Epic Games should employ a different caster than Zeke for future Summer Skirmish events, as some feel that his alleged lack of competitive Fortnite knowledge and minimal amount of casting experience is hurting the overall presentation of the popular competitive Fortnite Summer Skirmish event.

Zeke did not improve from last week. Take him out for the next #SummerSkirmish

Courage was doing Zeke's job better than him - keep him & another pro for the next tournament (Rotate w/ Lupo based on who is participating)

Now we just need to get rid of the clueless zeke and have two proper casters that know what they are talking about

Seeing these comments directed at his Summer Skirmish co-caster, CouRage voiced his opinion on the matter recently on his stream where he stated that Zeke is far better than he was at the same point of his own esports casting career.

Even though Zeke is employed as a video editor for Epic Games during the week, CouRage cited Zeke's passion for becoming a better caster by explaining how he has jumped at the chance given to him by Epic Games to be a caster for the Summer Skirmish Series.

The former professional Call of Duty caster then went on to state that it would be unwise to count Zeke out as a caster for Fortnite. 

CouRage also explained that Zeke's job was to set him up to be the "brain" of the broadcast that has all of the valuable information about the competitive scene for the battle royale title and that he did an excellent job of performing that role.

The OpTic Gaming member ended his statement by explaining that he is looking forward to casting with Zeke again in the future for more competitive Fortnite events, such as the Summer Skirmish Series.
