This past weekend we saw the @FaZe Clan Ignition Series event for @VALORANT, and besides a crazy final, we also saw @Riot Games step in and request that the new agent “Killjoy” be restricted from the tournament, something that Epic Games probably wouldn’t have done for @Fortnite.

LoL plays a patch behind and have set patches for playoffs and worlds
holy shit. people still think fortnite is an esport?
Binod
The league of esports scene usually plays on the patch before the live one, so this doesn't surprise me.
At least riot have the balls to do something like this, other game makers wouldnt have cared
valorant is boring trash its allready a ded game.
Yo Jake ive been with you since 10k subs, you grind like no one else, much love and respect. Just saw you got nominated for Esports Content Creator of the Year you deserve it, congrats! Everyone go vote for Esports Talk and Jake.👍👍👍

Clapping messes up your audio? Sounds like that RTX is on
Don’t understand why they would design a character that would be a problem balance wise competitively? They design the game specifically for esports and they do this? Good thing I will probably never play this
Competitive league is always played on a previous patch. Maybe they will do the same for valorant?
Fortnite should just be a big tournament that happens 4 times a year. Ones for no team and with. Winners take too much money they can handle.
Jake must not be familiar with League of legends. The pros play on a tournament client. The client isint always the same patch that the game is on and switches once the players have had some time with the new patch.
Most of fortnite "pros" are kids
My girlfriend said Jake is like "Ashton Kutcher and James Franco's love child"…I agreed 🙂
fortnite was not meant to be comp valorant was made to be comp???
Riot always implement a patch specific for worlds which what the they use in world's season. Good job on riot implementing this to their other ip
The new agent killjoy is not overpowered. It's balanced and can easily be countered in my opinion. Riot decided to ban her because she's a new release and may have bugs and exploits that could ruin the competitive integrity of the game. Also, since she's a new agent, the teams have yet to know how to deal with her.
How tf can you compare the two?
I knew this would happen I play both games and I mostly focus on Fornite comp rn
Heck no I can’t watch either of these games fricken yawn fests! Siege and counter strike are the best to watch
Fortnite – RNG start to finish
Valorant – pick what you want, and execute accordingly
Only thing the 2 games have in common are bloom (in valorants case, moving screws your aim) and lower ping advantage
I dont like Jake in a time suit idek y
Epic never said fortnite is an esport game and it's a BR game why people keep comparing it with valorant
FORTNITE IS NOT COMPETITIVE. Foundationally it isn’t. Stop trying to force a square peg into a circle hole.
R6 Suege pro leage keeps new Ops out of pro play for over 3 months so the meta and the competitive play dont get messed up. Good on valorant for doing that
stupid to compare valorant to fortnite. last time we compared apex to fortnite and look what happened to it. valorant is completly different genre of game then fortnite.
Jake in a suit makes me feel… a certain type of way.
Unpopular Opinion: Valorant has been dying since launch.
killjoy is also banned from Pittsburgh Knights Invitational Gauntlet Series – 16th aug
VALORANT will always have a place in eSports purely based on their singular focus: making VALORANT the best FPS eSport there it to rival CS:GO.
Respect +
I mean, Ubi always do that with OPs in Siege
soon enough lame ass fortnite will be dead
HOLY SHIT DID JAKE SLEEP!
I think people like to shit on Fortnite as an export because either, they don't understand it, or because it's mainstream. Truly, it could be insanely competitive with the help of Epic, as the building mechanic really does reduce the effects of RNG. However currently Epic adds too much bullshit that literally everyone complains about and it keeps it relatively uncompetitive
This is good for the competitive scene as a whole. Siege started doing this years ago
How can a rng based game genre become a esport. It was dead in the water before it started
rainbow six do this too. New operators come out in "pro league" 1 moth after they do in the live server. they learned from Lion i guess XD
they do the same thing in League Of Legends the torunaments are played on a different patch though especially during worlds lol
Fortnite was made for kids. Valorant was made by a company that's been a major esport for almost 10 years, with having it be made to be competitive
Who even thought a BR game is good for competitive LMAO! People ranting about first shot accuracy when they haven't tried a BR game.
Jake you are OK right?
Riot has pretty much always done this. New champs in LoL are not allowed in competition for 2 weeks minimum.
not sure that is a fair comparison. It's two different types of games.
the only comment section that talks rationally… woow
Coming from a person who played both games competitively, Valorant for 8 Months, Fortnite for 9. I can say that Fortnite is way more entertaining to play competitively! I got bored playing comp Valo in just 5 months! People may see Fortnite e sports as a joke because Epic made a mistake, but as of right now, it’s an e sport and if I had to go back into one of them it would be Fortnite 100%!!!!
