I watched the Fortnite Pro-Am with the same excitement as a live sporting event. To think I didn't believe @garyvee a few years ago when he said e-sports were next.

Genuinely curious, why wasn't it? And whether it was or not... it was my first taste of spectating live-event competitive play. Lots of people like me are going to be a lot more open to watching other esport events now.

I'd consider it an amateur esport event, but still an esport event. Pro Fortnite will be primarily solo rather than duo though. Watch
@Ninja Vegas Tournament for some real high level solo play.3 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

The only other thing hurting it as an esport is item randomness and game meta. It's not so much that it can't work but something for devs to keep a close eye on. As a Fortnite esport skeptic, I've been pleasantly surprised so far.

It was pretty fun to watch the Pro Am take place in a (fairly) new meta. I was just hoping there were no major glitches brought to light during the event. Worth considering a more consistent game mode for competitive play?

Yeah, definitely entertaining. That jump pad from skybase in game 1? A play that only happens with that new item. As it develops I wouldn't be surprised to see casual/competitive modes with competitive changing less frequently.
