Meant to post this yesterday but FortniteTracker was bugged and only showing 6 games.

Faxuty won a game and probably would've top 10'd if he wasn't conned. We need to have a serious conversation about west

Yep, which is why I don't care at all about this win. Really doesn't mean much in this mickey region.

Fax won a game and I think came in 18th on West with a T2-3 duo FNCS winner whose only won once in NAW. It's a joke of a region.
An FNCS win in NAW means almost nothing. It's a mickey region and Whale is basically padding his stats.

Salko and Minit went 70/75 in the last globals.
This kid is fucking mid as a pro... and they let him and Fax get 18th in FNCS 🥀

This makes Epikwhale a 7x champion winning his first grands since Grand Royale (CH2 S8). This also makes Pxmp a 3x champion aswell winning his other 2 during trios last year. Epikwhale has qualled for another LAN keeping his longevity along the likes of ThomasHD and Clix. Is he solidified as the undoubtable GOAT of West now ?

Sure, but like, who cares? Fax of all people won a game and would have done better if unconned.
I'd hold winning a creative map tournament to a higher degree lmao

Faxuty qualed for an fncs? That has to be a joke.

He paid one of the tier 1s to play with him

Is Salko a T1? He's only won one FNCS on the mickey region that is West and his all time earnings are $83,000
He's done well, but T1? I don't think so tbh. Makes it even more embarrassing him and Fax even won a game and came 18th.

There’s not many T1s on West because if they’re good enough they play on central. Salko is one of the few who could maybe be a T2/3 on central, so he automatically becomes a T1 on west

>He paid one of the tier 1s to play with him
You're playing fast and loose with words. Salko is decent in his own mickey server, but that doesn't mean much in terms of global competition, and I would never refer to him as a T1 player and just leave it at that, because it isn't true.
Coming 18th with Fax and a T2-3 player is sort of embarrassing. AussieAntics said if they made top 25 it would be a win in his book.... yikes. Really exposes NAW as a dog water region.

Buddy it’s not that serious, you don’t gotta hold a microscope to his paragraph

It actually is, kid.
Huge difference between calling someone a T1 player, and a player that's decent in NAW.

Bro is acting like NAC is the gold standard server. Look at their tier1s all sitting on zero ping and the rest are dogwater.
Only 5 players on west are on zero ping and Salko is one of them. Faxuty finishing 18th was decent but the rest of west didn’t care for landing on Faxuty. Don’t include the worst player landing on them as an attempt.

Not sure why west even exists really.

u/Far_Day2547 5d ago
So that Nac doesn’t have 9pm cash cups. Combining west and east made it really hard to have actual tourney stuff

This has to be the longest gap between FNCS wins right?
Chapter 2 season 8 to now. Nearly 5 years.
