Fortnite competitive is being heavily gatekept
I used to play comp regularly, I started to dabble again recently just to find out you need to play 14 tournaments to play in the actual good fun cups which is already a complete joke but okay. I try to find some tournaments to play just to find out I am eligible for like 1/2 tournaments a week which are the ranked cups (very boring to play and I usually forget they even exist), all in all a massive joke and big middle finger to anyone who doesn't live inside of the game. I just want to have fun playing the game competitively but this system makes it very hard to get into. I get it's probably because of cheaters or whatever but surely there is a better way to deal with this? It would take me months probably to finally be able to play in the proper tournaments. This was probably their way of dealing with cheaters making new accounts and playing these cups but since I have had this account since the start of Fortnite basically (I have the Black Knight skin for example) this system shouldn't be targeting long term players like me. This is very damaging for the competitive scene and it will eventually kill it completely.
