Fortnite Winter Royale Player's Family Has Incredible Reaction To Qualifying

Being a professional gamer and esports player is a relatively new career in the modern world. For someone whose ambition is to become a successful Fortnite player, the existing esports system can be inconsistent. In the Winter Royale qualifiers, a number of high profile players didn’t even make it to the semi-finals. ElonMuskVevoTV is one player who made it to the Fortnite Winter Royale semi-finals, but during his heat, he only managed to pick up one point.

It may not seem like a lot, but 49 players out of 100 didn’t manage to attain a single point. Only the top 50 progress through to the Winter Royale final tomorrow, which meant that one player who did get a point wasn’t going to make it through. It turned out to be ElonMuskVevoTV and Tocata. The two boiled down to a tiebreaker, which looked at their total eliminations, average placement and total time alive. ElonMuskVevoTV scraped through with three eliminations, and this clip from his stream shows just what it means to him and his family.

Placing in 50th means he’s through to the Winter Royale final tomorrow, and he’s also earned a smooth $1,500. He joins some incredible players like Ghost Sean, TSM ZexRow, Ghost Aydan, Ghost Snood, Liquid Vivid and Atlantis Mitr0 in the top 50. In a Reddit comment, he said “So humbled. Thank you everyone for the kind words and thank you Epic Games for making my life so much fun.”

The Winter Royale semi-finals haven’t gone smoothly for everyone though. Some players aren’t happy with the Infinity Blade and the Stormwing X-4 planes in the Winter Royale, and rightfully so. The new weapon was only introduced to Fortnite earlier today, so players haven’t had the time to learn how to counter the huge sword, which is causing some serious controversy.
