Peterbot and Clix’s Feud Electrify FNCS Heat 3

This weekend we saw the FNCS heats play out, the opportunity for players to make their way into the Finals lobby for Major 1 of Chapter 7 Season 2. However, FNCS Heat 3 was particularly interesting. The Peterbot and Clix feud has hit a ridiculous level, with the streamer only just saved from the LCQ by other team’s performance. The Heats also featured a number of bugs which saw hours of delays in the very first heat.

In NAC, along with other regions like Australia, bugs caused big problems. Players were unable to queue up, then unable to join the second game. Two whole matches were played out and then completely ignored after bugs derailed them. Teams were openly using tech that’s a borderline glitch like the Ferris Wheel rotation trick. In short, it was kind of a shambles.

Clearly, the huge layoffs at Fortnite have had an effect. With these being some of the worst run heats we’ve seen. We rarely see games re-ran just because players can’t queue up, but the FNCS Heat 3 really got off the rails. Ultimately, FNCS Heat 3 proved to be very interesting once it got started hours later though. With the Peterbot and Clix feud in NAC keeping things interesting.

Peterbot and Clix Feuding FNCS Heat 3

Last year, the NAC region. was dominated by Peterbot, Pollo, and Clix’s trios. With Peterbot and Pollo trading off FNCS wins. However, this season with those two back together, their crosshair was firmly on Clix. The streamer, along with Higgs, is still eyeing their first FNCS win.

This year, they’ve gotten more serious. Deciding to stop streaming the FNCS Heat 3 and Finals. At least initially.

To make it through to the Grand Finals, players either had to win a game or be in the most consistent Duos. It’s a format which typically filters through the best Fortnite players pretty easily. Although, sometimes bugs in the game’s matchmaking cause bigger problems and lock players out. In NAC, where the skill level is high but talent pool shallow, it’s usually not an issue for Tier 1 Duos to make Finals. However, this week things got messier.

A ton of the best Fortnite players were in a single lobby for heats. meaning we got to see Peterbot and Clix going head to head. Where peterbot once again took the fight directly to clix.

Duos Clash in FNCS Heat 3

After Clix won the first game, it was disqualified since some players didn’t make it in. Unlucky, since Peterbot had crashed out while Clix performed well. Then, the second game got cancelled after Clix failed to get in. A few games in though, Peterbot went to his hot drop strategy we saw all of last year. Going directly to Clix’s drop spot to try and deny him an entire game.

Clix’s Duo swerved and began landing at an unnamed building for the rest of the games, giving up their POI and huge rotational advantage for the reminder of FNCS Heat 3.

Peterbot’s Duo spent most of their games specifically trying to hunt down Clix and Higgs. With some success too. By the end of the last game, Clix was long dead and relying on other teams to mess up to get his slot in Finals. In the end, it came down to a handful of points, with Clix only just qualifying for FNCS Major 1 at the weekend.

Both Teams Claim the Same POI for Finals

Next up we have the Last Chance Qualifier, but the Grand Finals are coming quickly. It’s happening this weekend with a quick turnaround to make room for the Summit LAN at the end of the season. We’ll see the Peterbot and Clix might plying out most games if they stick to their drop plans.

Both Duos have claimed Wonkeeland for the Grand Finals. It is clearly one of the best POIs in the game. With teams discovering tech to rotate very quickly when combining the Ferris Wheel, Shockwaves, and Flowberry Fizz gas, it’s gone from a great landing spot to an overpowered one. Especially considering the mini games for guaranteed high level loot.

FNCS Heat 3

We could see Peterbot, Pollo, Clix, and Higgs all fighting off spawn in every game. Ruining each other’s openings like that is a risky strategy. if they trade off, it’ll mean both Duos only get to play a handful of the games. Even if one team dominates off spawn, they will lose some games to early wipes that mean no placement or kill points.

These kinds of off-spawn strategies are risky. Last year, we saw Peterbot take them in most Finals though. Peterbot and Polo clearly aren’t content with performing well in each lobby and aiming to win. These little side quests of specifically feuding with one other Duo keeps things interesting. And it makes the FNCS Grand Finals a lot more entertaining to follow along with.
