Conclusion
I love that Fortnite is hosting a box fight tournaments.
Since box fighting is such an integral part of the game, it’s going to be really interesting to see which players emerge as the best in each region.
I also hope that box fights get its own permanent slot in the battle royale playlists, so you can jump into a game from the main screen just as easily as you would a solo, duo, or squad game.
You see, box fighting is similar to zone wars in that it’s essential to practice if you want to become a better player. But since there isn’t a dedicated playlist, it can be difficult to find a game with suitably skilled opponents.
Anyway, this tournament is going to be the first time we see an LTM for box fights. And even if you don’t consider yourself the most skilled Fortnite player in the world, I encourage you to take part in the tournament.
Sure, you may not win. But at least it’s going to be some good and efficient practice and you’ll be able to develop your skills in an important aspect of the game.
Taking part in a tournament and competing against players that are better than you is one of the best ways to improve, so get out there and test yourself.
Best of luck to you if you are competing in this tournament! Let me know how you get on.
