To understand the origin of the controversy, we must go back to last Friday. Fortnite published the prize pool for the best players in the next FNCS. While the sums displayed are large, for some players they're far too small compared to the previous rewards.
Some professional players then shared their disappointment on Twitter.
Very quickly, two camps were formed. If on one side, the new prize pool is castigated, on the other side, the game and the money it offers are defended.
One topic leading to another, very quickly the debate turned to another: the payouts are the same, regardless of the platform.
Considering that the console level is lower, some PC players seem to find this distribution unfair.
Overall, the majority of gamers are grateful for the money Epic Games is offering and are looking forward to the beginning of the Fortnite Champion Series on October 8.
