The recent EU Trio tournament concluded with one of the closest finishes ever. The results came down to the last game, with PeterBot and his team setting yet another world record. Questions remain about whether this trio will stick together moving forward. Significant discussions have also arisen around cheating in Fortnite and how the upcoming chapter may address these issues.
Trio Cash Cup Breakdown
The Trio Cash Cup featured intense competition, especially on the NA leaderboard. Ager, Ritual, and Cold claimed the top spot with 337 points, even after being eliminated early in the final match. PeterBot’s team—comprising Acorn and Kanada—strategically contested first place but ultimately lost the spawn fight. Their aggressive gameplay highlighted their commitment to claiming victory. Other notable performances included: Rapid, Pollo, and Boltz with a 14-elimination win, finishing second with 298 points. Reet, EpikWhale, and Sphinx in fourth. Clix, Cooper, and Rise securing fifth. BatmanBooga, Mason, and Yomso also displayed consistent gameplay, excelling in the opens but struggling to carry that success into finals.
Cheating Issues and Upcoming Divisional Format
Cheating remains a significant concern, with several cheaters affecting leaderboard results. Epic Games plans to implement a Divisional Format in the upcoming chapter, which may help mitigate these issues. The format’s key elements include: Starting all players in Division 3. Progressing through divisions before competing for cash prizes. Resetting cheaters to Division 3 upon account bans. This system aims to provide a fairer competitive environment while improving practice opportunities for players of all skill levels. Epic also recently canceled reload cups due to integrity concerns, reflecting the need for such changes.
Fornite PeterBot, Acorn, and Kanada’s Open Performance
PeterBot, Acorn, and Kanada delivered an astonishing performance during the opens. They accumulated 592 points, won four out of seven matches, and achieved a 58 KD ratio. Kanada’s role as a supportive teammate highlighted their synergy, carrying extra resources to enable PeterBot’s dominance. Their coordination demonstrated potential for continued success, even amidst rumors of potential splits. Kanada humorously leaned into his role, carrying only a Mythic Minigun and meds to support PeterBot’s high elimination counts. Acorn effectively led the team as an IGL, showcasing why this trio remains a strong contender.
EU Trio Cash Cup Highlights
The EU region witnessed a thrilling finale. Veno, Vico, and Flixy secured back-to-back victories with 304 points, including two match wins. Their dominance emerged after a close contest with JannisZ, Noahreyli, and Rezon ay, who faltered in the final match. Other standout performances included: Chap, Chicho, and T3eny, who narrowly missed first place after an intense high-ground battle. Rxs, Prage, and Radi, finishing third as an Italian trio with consistent gameplay. The back-to-back wins of Vico’s team on EU mirrored Cold’s team on NA, solidifying both as dominant trios across regions.
The recent Fortnite tournaments showcased both extraordinary skill and pressing issues within the competitive scene. With PeterBot, Acorn, and Kanada setting records and the divisional format on the horizon, the future of Fortnite looks promising. However, the community continues to demand improvements to address cheating and ensure fair competition.
